you know that moment between tripping and actually hitting the ground? that split second where things seem to pause or move in slow motion...the time it takes for your brain to realize there's a stapler (or ball or rock or fist or whatever) flying at your head and the second it takes for your brain to process it then you suddenly feel the pain? that moment.
well someone sent me an email today where a few of those moments were captured on camera so i thought i'd share. some are funny...some will make you cringe but all of them should make you say "oh shi....."
enjoy (and be glad it wasn't you).
i don't know if he just fell on his own (no one else seems to be on the ground with him) and the car ran over him or if he got hit by the car OR if he was trying to hand the person in the car something but either way he won't be feeling good in a second. at least it looks like his bike didn't get messed up.
look at the guy's face that actually got hit. he won't be buying cracker jacks or popcorn or anything other than ensure shakes for a while. but that's not the only funny thing in this picture. check out the lady behind him and her reaction. hilarious. then there's a few people not even close to him on the far left that jumped more than he did. but the best one is the little girl to the left that just put her hands up because other people were doing it and the lady directly behind him who kept eating her popcorn/cracker jacks and isn't even flinching. THAT is priceless.
so this one is in the "slow motion" phase. at this point he's wondering how he's about to make this work with as little pain as possible. the fact that he's posing like he's flying gets him some cool points but all that cool shit will be out the window in a second or two.
at least it's his teammate. can't be too mad at your teammate. especially if you're the one that fell in front of him in the first place.
this one is good because you can actually see the "oh shit" face on the guy riding the bike. he already knows the wheel is gone. he already knows he's about to eat it and he already deserves to have his face planted for wearing that rag like mrs. butterworth instead of wearing a helmet.
this one actually made me cringe. i think the tip is going to break skin again. but even if it doesn't this one is kind of hard to look at and not rub or grab your own leg. but again...this one was completely avoidable. people run from and play with bulls because there's a chance stuff like this might happen. so you can't really be that mad or surprised when it does. you're actually kind of asking for it when you really think about it. it's like smoking cigarettes and being shocked or depressed when your doctor tells you that you have cancer. you kind of had it coming.
another bull one. i swear the whole running of the bulls thing makes me feel like they were asking for it. this guy is just an idiot. he should have just run and dove as far as he could have. it looks like he just kept running like he could run on water. so he'll make it to the water but the bull actually jumped and will be coming in on top of him in a second. good luck david blaine look-alike.
i really don't feel bad for these guys. even less so than the last two idiots. i know it's a mexican tradition but when you get several guys around dressed in pink michael jackson outfits stabbing a bull with swords and playing with him i don't know about you...but i kind of start rooting for the one with the horns. this guy will probably never shit right again in his life. he might not have kids either. he's actually probably a little past that moment and already feeling the pain.
this last one is definitely at that "oh shit" moment. it doesn't get any closer than this. this picture should be in the dictionary next to the term "oh shit." this one is going to hurt. and his friend who has a perfect view will be telling everyone this story for a while. kneepads: check. elbow pads: check. helmet: check. braces and broken nose: check.
