You're gonna want to watch this twice

I remember Ben showing my 180 class a video of a long distance ski jumper (whatever that event is called) fall and tumble down the hill as an example of engrossing spectacle. I just found this video which has some utterly MIND BLOWING examples of how such events have been narrowly avoided. As unlikely as each of the video clips here is, I find it wonderful to know that some lives have been spared in such unlikely ways.

wow, this is unbelieveable and i am most definately going to watch it again. It is amazing how close some of those accidents were. An act of God like 30 times over.

This is INCREDIBLE!!! I can't believe that all of those moments were captured on camera, as Ben stated!

Live dangerously - excitement and close calls: often.
