Yes, but Alexander the Great didn't survive those battles by taking a direct hit from a halberd or javelin, and didn't really turn the tide of battle (Aside from morale, I guess) by being on the frontlines. I half-think the guy had a lot of luck as well as his combat prowess that kept him alive.

Actually he took many, many direct hits and once got stuck alone on the wrong side of a city wall. He was expected to die then, and several other times, but survived.
