22 Photos That Prove Timing Is Literally Everything
I’ve never been in a situation when my whole life flashed before my eyes, so I don’t know what’s it like to experience those moments right before disaster strikes. What I do know is that none of the people in these photos realized that disaster was about to slap them right in the face.
When disaster strikes, it’s not actually the moment of impact that’s terrifying, it’s the second before it hits. Some of these precious moments have been captured perfectly by oh-so-loving friends and relatives of these unfortunate souls, and thank goodness the Internet is here to share them with us.
1. There are railings for a reason.

7. When you can’t let it fall because it’s too damn expensive.
Doesn’t matter. I’d still eat it even if it falls on the rug. Cheesecake with a side of germs.
8. Close your eyes, bud — but at least open your mouth.
If the video said, “Do not try this at home.”
Do not try this at home.
9. Bet you wished those smartphones were waterproof.
Don't worry, put it in a bowl of rice and they'll work just like new.
10. You chose the wrong superhero, man. Robin can’t fly!
That’s what you get for wearing a costume a few sizes too small.
11. I didn’t know Jenga had a milk crate edition!
When it comes to suspension, it's every man for himself.
12. Why is dodgeball even a game ?

16. This is pretty accurate for all of us navigating through this thing called life.
You know what they say: Birds of a feather fall flat on their faces together.
17. This is probably not the kind of wave they’re after.
