20 Close Calls That Could Have Turned Out Much, Much Worse

Slip

A lucky slip is all that saved this guy from meeting his maker. If he ran he would never have made it. Maybe there is a plan for us all.

Baseball

What would you do if a Baseball Bat came flying at your face. You would duck just like the woman did. How would you know that there is a kid sitting behind you?

Safety Glasses

This is why safety glasses should always be worn! Just imagine what that piece could have done. Now all he has to worry about is getting new glasses.

Look

Always look both ways before crossing. Especially when you're on a ski slope!

Crossing

Did you hear what we said? I don't think you were listening. ALWAYS look both ways!

Gloves

Safety equipment is for your own good. Wear it, or you could regret it for the rest of your life.

Phone

“Had a customer come into my job today (I fix phones at Sprint) and he said he damaged his phone,” WarlockRock11 shared on Reddit. “He showed it to me and said he was up a tree with a small chainsaw and he lost his balance and the rope attached to his chain saw got loose and hit his leg but only got the phone before he was able to pull it away.”

Car

That open door shows you whoever the driver was they survived this accident. But I bet he or she ran away from the car as fast as they could.

Boulder

Imagine you're sitting at home watching Television and a huge boulder crashes through your house! Thankfully the boulder only hit your garage. Thankfully someone took a picture of it and put it up on the internet.

Jeep

This driver thought he could just drive over this tree. Thankfully there was nobody in the passenger seat.

Knife

This is a fear that is all to real for all of us. We should always be careful when using knives or scissors at home.

Truck

This is why I am always scared of driving behind trucks with loads. This looks like something straight out of 'Final destination.' Thankfully nobody was hurt here.

Close Call

Even though the nail missed this guys foot you and I can still imagine just how bad this would hurt. Do not try this at home.

Barrier

That barrier should have been a bit bigger. Icy roads cannot be trusted, thankfully this driver had the presence of mind to be driving slow. That is the only reason he or she is still alive today.

Post

That post is the only thing that saved that woman's life. I can't stop looking at this. That was too close for comfort. I wonder if that woman has seen this.

Mortar

This piece of mortar flew in and hit the car, puncturing the tire. Thankfully the mortar did not explode and everyone involved is still alive and safe.

Tree

After heavy winds in Chicago, this car was barely missed by a falling tree. Judging by the amount of rot on that trunk, the tree wasn't long for this world anyway.

Lucky

If the car had been a left-hand drive the driver would not have been that lucky. What do you think?

Headrest

The piece of wood broke through the windshield to reach there. At that speed if it had hit somebody they wouldn't have survived. Thankfully, it missed.

Shark

This shark gave these divers a fresh new look on life. I think they're all going to go home and thank god they're alive. What are you going to do?
