Happens to me, on average, probably once per month. It tends to happen in spurts though— I might go 3 or 4 months without an episode but then once a week for a while. If it happens enough to quickly realize what's happening, you tend to be able to move past the feeling of imminent danger and focus on controlled breathing (I can always control my breath.)
