In a scene straight out of Final Destination, a man standing in his backyard miraculously escaped getting whacked by a falling tree trunk. What's equally chilling is as he's trying to move out of the way, he slips and falls missing the dead tree by mere inches. His look of utter disbelief is totally understandable.
It's one thing to avert an accident when you see it coming but imagine having your back to something like a falling tree trunk when you're chilling in your backyard.
In a 5-second video shared on Twitter on December 28, an unassuming man is seen standing in what looks like his backyard while holding an umbrella. The clip shows him taking in the view, and some seconds later half jumping to his left, slipping and falling to the ground.
The last shot of the tiny clip reveals the reason behind his sudden flight or fight moment: a falling tree trunk.?
It's miraculous no doubt that he missed getting hit on the head and surviving a possible bitter end, but what'll truly have you believe in the forces that be, is the fact that the fallen branch lies not more than a few inches away from his stomach. Takes a whole lot of luck to pull that off.
As the unnamed man tries to get up and find his footing, this realisation slowly dawns on his face as it does on ours: a second here and there would've meant a completely different outcome.
