Is 'I met with a nasty accident' natural?

I met with a nasty accident.

Is the sentence natural to native speakers? Thanks.

Yes

Not sure I'd use it though. What's wrong with 'I had...'? I'm not much of a fan of the over-use of 'met with'.

It's still natural, even if some don't like it. ;-)

If you sit on the fence like that, you may meet with a nasty accident.

And I'd probably have to unimpale myself. :up:
