What’s up fact-natics! This is Discovery Amuse,

Stay tuned for our number 1 pick if you want to see the world’s
luckiest man ever who cheated death! Perhaps some of his luck will rub off on you!
Ladies and gents, without further ado…
#20: Highway to Hell
Remember that scene from Black Panther where Black Panther flipped into the air
and landed perfectly on the back of a moving car? Well,
this next guy didn’t need any special effects to do exactly the same thing.
The rider was about to change lanes when this car beat him to it. What
happened next is something that you only see in the movies, until now!
#19: Quick Reflex
In this clip, a rider pulled a stunt over a muddy dirt road that went horribly wrong.
But while the stunt rider also got lucky, we’re more impressed by this gentleman who was quick on
his feet and avoided the motorcycle crash without missing a beat! And he was on the phone too!
He must’ve told the dude on the other line, “Hold up! Bike crash coming! BRB!”
“Okay, done. What were you saying?”
#18: Broken Backhoe
At a demo site, this guy was looking for something in the rubble. But he will soon
realize that rummaging around an area surrounded by heavy equipment is not the brightest idea.
Perhaps the neon green shirt made it easier for the bucket loader to avoid him.
#17: Slippery Slope
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a car-pulled open sleigh! Just make sure no cars are coming at you!
These two sledders were having the time of their lives when suddenly they lost balance
and got thrown out the side of the road… whoa! Where did that speeding car come from!
These guys must have been nice because they got the best gift from Santa—a second lease on life!
#16: Misfire
21-gun salutes are supposed to be an act of military honor… not military horror!
Good thing gun salutes are performed with blank rounds or else this guy
would have been the next one to be given his own 21-gun salute!
#15: Close Call
This fighter jet pilot was waiting in the middle of the tarmac when another
plane came speeding dangerously close to him!
Good thing the pilot came out of the accident with both of his arms intact!
#14: Killer Shot
Some tourists will do anything to get that perfect shot--even if they have to risk
their lives in the process! Whatever happened to just enjoying the moment?
This airport on the Caribbean island of St. Bart is known for
how incredibly close the planes get to the road when they approach the tarmac.
So of course, it would make for some pretty awesome photos, right!
This tourist decided to take the risk and snap an approaching plane as if he was
just taking photos of birds because, “How dangerous could it be, right?”
If that photo doesn’t get at least a thousand likes, it would have been all for nothing.
#13: Young and Reckless
This bus was cruising along the highway when all of a sudden,
a sedan tried to overtake it and lost control, going over the opposite lane.
A speeding truck then hit the sedan so hard it sent the car flying towards the bus!
As you can see, the car was a total wreck! But as for its young, reckless driver?
Miraculously, he survived the accident but more shockingly, he got out of the wreck seemingly
without as much as a broken thumb! Heck, his thumb must have been perfectly fine too!
#12: Lucky Post
This woman probably started walking near street poles more often
after narrowly escaping death--thanks to this friendly neighborhood lamp post!
In this video, the unsuspecting woman can be seen walking past a lamp post when all of a sudden,
a speeding vehicle behind her lost control and appeared to come straight towards her!
Luckily, the lamp post came between the girl and the car,
essentially playing guardian angel and saving the girl from entering the gates of heaven too soon.
#11: Flying Skater boy
The timing of these two guys makes it look like the whole thing was
actually choreographed. But nope, they’re just really, really lucky.
Watch as this biker was about to enter the rink
at the exact same moment that a skater went over the ramp!
The almost accident just went over the biker kid’s head. Literally!
#10: Satellite Crash
In this clip, we can see a man sitting on a pipe so long it must be able to fit
more than 20 people. But despite the wide, open space, this satellite dish decided to
fall directly towards the man! Well, a few centimeters away from the man to be exact.
Now I’m seriously confused. Do we consider this guy lucky for missing the satellite dish by a
hair? Or unlucky for sitting in that exact spot on the pipe? I don’t even know anymore, man.
#9: Sail Fail
This sailboat was about to come crashing into a parked motorboat--with a lone woman onboard!
But luckily, the sailors proved they were much stronger than the wind.
They were able to maneuver the yacht around and avoid hitting the motorboat in one fell swoop.
That woman looked like she can’t be bothered though. Not even by a rampaging yacht.
#8: Scooter Stress
How many times do we need to remind parents never to let their kids out of their sight,
especially when they’re outside of the house! Perhaps this next video will do the trick.
A dashcam captured this moment when a young boy suddenly sped away from the parking lot and
into the road! Thankfully, both the owner of the dashcam and the driver of the other
approaching vehicle weren’t texting while driving, and were quick to hit the brakes
to let the boy cross the street safely. I hope his mom finally learned her lesson.
#7: Falling Debris
Watch closely as this white vehicle gets a lucky break when it
narrowly misses a falling debris from a nearby building! With the size and heft of that thing,
it could have surely caused major trouble for the car and the driver.
#6: Parachute of Death
Base jumping is a dangerous sport that basically involves free-falling from a fixed structure such
as a building, a bridge or a cliff, and landing with a parachute. Needless to say, it’s important
to check wind conditions carefully before taking the jump. Perhaps this guy didn’t get the memo.
Things escalated quickly as soon as the man opened his parachute. The winds didn’t seem
to cooperate which led to the parachute repeatedly hitting the building wall!
Like a dangling fruit about to fall, the man had no choice but to go wherever the wind took him.
But in a stroke of luck, he was suddenly flung into an
open window and out of harm’s way! That’s some Mission Impossible stuff right there.
#5: Tipsy Truck
Truck drivers don’t get nearly enough credit for their mad driving skills. Imagine driving while
carrying those huge cargo on your back and having to make a turn! It takes some serious ability,
I’m telling you. The heavier the cargo, the greater the skill—and luck! —a driver needs.
In this dashcam footage, watch as this wobbly truck desperately tried to regain its balance
while carrying large metal pipes! Dropping those pipes could mean serious trouble for
the other vehicles! Luckily, despite looking like the truck was about to topple over,
the truck driver managed to gain back control of his vehicle.
#4: A Few Steps Ahead
Now I don’t know if this guy got what he needed inside the store,
but he sure went out with tons of luck!
Thank goodness he has long strides when walking because had he walked just a tiny bit slower…
He should have played the lottery inside that
store because it was clearly the luckiest day of his life.
#3: Chopper Crash
Part of my bucket list is to ride a chopper. But after seeing this video,
let’s just say I took out an item on that list.
As this chopper was about to descend, the blades seemingly got tangled in the lines
and almost immediately plummeted to the ground. These staff were just
inches away from getting hit by the broken blades but luckily, they got away from the
scene quickly. This cameraman also decided to take a wide shot at the best time possible!
#2: TIMBER!
These guys probably have the best intentions cutting off that tree.
Perhaps a storm was coming, and this tree might harm someone!
Well… it almost did, no thanks to you guys.
#1: Holy Sheet
This Emirati man is bar none the luckiest man in our book.
You’re free to disagree but let us show you why.
As he was waking ever so casually along the streets of Dubai, all of a sudden… a
sheet of glass slipped from the building and fell straight on him! But he stood just an
inch to the left enough to prevent the sheet of glass from cutting him in half! Though the man
fell to the floor, you can see how he came out of it virtually unscathed. Such a lucky man indeed.
Which one of them do you think has the luckiest star? Let us know in the comments section below!
