Perfect Timing: 18 epic photos that were taken just before impact
Advertisement

Some photographs taken by chance manage to capture such unique moments that recreating them in the studio would be a really difficult, if not almost impossible, task. What makes these photos so perfect is not so much the technique or the right light, but the incredible timing with which they were taken: intense moments that prelude unimaginable disasters! In some of these photos there are those who are accidentally slipping on the ice, those who are falling off a bike and those who spill drinks by mistake; they all share the same misfortune, they just don't know it yet! We have collected 18 photos of this type for you, hoping they will make you smile!

When it snows and you can't escape the cold reality, you have to organize yourself with appropriate clothing and shoes if you want to avoid bad accidents which might injure your back and legs. Be careful!

Uncorking a sparkling wine to toast is a classic that is repeated at every birthday, anniversary or holiday, such as Christmas, and every time there is someone who tries to take cover so as not to be hit by the cork. What are the odds of getting hit? The truth is that even if there were one in a million, sooner or later that probability will happen to you ...

This guy was hit in the forehead and the funniest thing is that the photographer managed to capture the very rare moment.

When they are still puppies, many dogs are still not in full control of their movements, especially in relation to the surrounding space. But we love them for that too!

Fortunately, the creator of this photo is here to jokingly testify to the little incident that took place back in 1993. How many times, as children, have we wanted to hold our little sister, cousin or little brother in our arms? We must be very careful, however, and always on the alert ... we don't want to let them fall?
