Accidents happen more often than you might think, yet it’s not often that we capture them on camera. However, these photographers snapped their shots at the exact right moment. The hilarious photos show 55 individuals who are completely unaware of the unfortunate things that are about to happen to them.
From drink spills in slow motion to birds stealing the hats right off of people’s heads, this list includes some of the craziest situations we could find. Although, if the images were taken just seconds prior, everything would have looked completely normal.

All of the soldiers were standing in perfect formation with stern and serious looks on their faces. That is all except for one of them. The exhausted man just couldn’t hold it in any longer, he had to yawn!

2. Flipped Motorcycle
Seconds from now, this guy is going to be in for a world of hurt. He realizes what is happening, but the whole weight of the situation has sunk in yet, literally, and figuratively speaking. Hopefully, his thick jeans help to protect him somewhat.

3. Aspiring Actor
The dog had no idea what was taking place on the television behind her. Nevertheless, she managed to make the exact same expression as the actor in the series at the exact same time. What do you think, was it a coincidence?

4. Making Friends
Snorkeling can be a whole lot of fun. However, there is always the risk that a giant manta ray will jump on you. That’s what these three women found out recently.

5. Safety Violation
You can probably run this situation over and over again dozens of times and nothing will happen. All it takes is one spark hitting the wrong part of the tanks though and the whole place goes up in flames. It makes us cringe just looking at it.

6. Exquisite Cheese
It turns out, some birds enjoy cheese just as much as humans do. The bird can be seen gazing at the cheese longingly. It is going to be so delicious when it finally takes a bite.

7. Surprise Pup
There is nothing quite like getting photobombed by a swimming dog. It’s the last thing that you would expect to come paddling by while you are in a swimming pool. Vacations can be quite surprising like that.

8. Flying Cake
This dessert sure looks tasty. It’s such a shame that she won’t actually get to eat it. The restaurant might as well say goodbye to that nice white tablecloth too.

9. Catching A Plane
Some statues are simply larger than life. Although, it’s all a matter of perspective. From certain angles, planes can be plucked right out of the sky.

10. Dolphin Jump
This dolphin took a giant leap out of the pool of water. It was aiming for the second pool on the other side. Sadly though, it got stopped in midair by its talented Navy dolphin trainer. The man has incredible timing.

12. Cat Hat
This cat really enjoys watching TV series. It likes to get as close as possible to the screen so that it can greet all of the characters for itself. It takes interactive entertainment to a whole new level.

Some perfect timing photos don’t involve fails at all. They are simply beautiful accidents. That’s what happened here when the photographer captured a surprise heart shape created by a loving cat.

16. Daring Jump
Back in the ’70s, this man took his uncle’s motorcycle out for a spin without asking. This was the photo that he captured of the ride, seconds before crashing and breaking his collarbone. As you can probably surmise from the angle of the jump, it wasn’t a very smooth landing for him.

17. Biking Gone Wrong
Here we have a similar fail on a pedal bike. Although, this one was taken after the accident was already in progress. The woman had already been separated from the bike at the time of the photo, courtesy of a random storm drain.

This bird was flying up to say hello and got a rude awakening. It turns out, there was a window between it and the person that it was trying to reach. Who would have guessed?

19. Taco Explosion
Imagine trying to eat a taco and an angry bee comes flying into the vehicle. That’s what happened here. Eating tacos while driving is hard enough as it is. Add a bee into the mix and it’s a recipe for disaster.

20. Big Splash
Two people in this photo realized that the wave was coming crashing in and took off running. A third person just stood there and waited. It was too late already to escape, so he figured that he might as well just embrace it.

21. Cat Man
There’s not much to see here, folks. It’s just a creepy man with a cat body. It’s completely normal and nothing out of the ordinary. We assure you.

22. Porsche Vs. Truck
The person driving the Porsche thought that they were pretty cool cruising around the streets like a maniac. However, the two trucks in front of them got the final word in the matter. They hit the driver with a giant plume of black exhaust as they pulled away.

Taking a selfie with a monkey can be quite unpredictable. That’s what this goofy photo proves. One minute, things were going fine, and the next, total chaos broke loose.

26. Fall In Progress
You have to be really careful while walking around the city in the winter. Sidewalks can get really icy. We recommend wearing boots, and if you are really accident prone, maybe even a helmet.

27. Bird Sighting
Some animals like being photographed and some don’t. This bird belongs to the group that doesn’t like being caught on camera. The bird looks almost offended by the fact that someone would accidentally take a picture of him.

28. Disappearing Sandwich
This man jokingly picked up a giant sandwich to pretend like he was going to eat the whole thing. He didn’t get very far though. One misstep later and he was left salvaging the scraps off the ground.

29. Surprise Waterfall
Taking a group picture isn’t easy. It’s so hard to make sure that everyone has their eyes open and is smiling at the same time. Not to mention, at any second, water could come pouring down out of nowhere.

30. Dog Illusion
This is exactly how the old-school video games used to work. However, this is the real-life version using dogs. The character disappears off one end of the screen and suddenly emerges on the other.

31. Catch & Release
Posing with a recently caught fish is no easy task. That’s what this man found out when he tried to hold onto the slippery swimmer. His big catch quickly ended up right back in the water where it started.

32. Rescue Attempt
As a photographer, there is nothing worse than losing an expensive camera. You have to do anything you can to save the equipment, including diving after it while another photographer laughs as they photograph you looking ridiculous.

33. Rollercoaster Takeoff
Rollercoasters are already scary enough. Looking at this photo though, you would think that it accidentally launched into space. Luckily, it’s just an illusion due to a perfectly placed contrail off on the distance.

34. Turkey Thief
If you have a dog in the family, you have to be very careful when preparing fancy feasts. Dogs get hungry too, just like people. If you turn your back for a second, they can totally ruin the holidays.

Riding horses is inherently risky. However, it doesn’t even compare to jumping horses over gates. Occasionally, you have to be prepared to take a big fall.

If it looks like a dog, it must smell like a dog too, right? That’s what this goofy pup thought. He had to get up close and investigate for himself, just to be certain.

41. Big Hit
A dream of many baseball fans is to catch a baseball at a game. A bat, on the other hand, is not something that you want to come flying at you. There is no glove big enough to catch a flying bat.

42. Hawk Selfie
Is this a human taking a selfie or a hawk? We aren’t entirely sure. The reflection makes it seem as though it is some sort of weird combination of the two of them.

43. Game Over
Jenga is a game that almost everyone has played before. It’s a classic. However, anyone who has played it also knows that whatever gets built up, must eventually come crumbling down.

Cats are great climbers. Although, they are also pretty clumsy too. They like to rub their fur against things, or in other words, they like to knock things over.

A brief moment of celebration after a player hit a home run quickly turned into a moment of intense pain. The fan was so distracted clapping that he forgot to dodge the incoming baseball. It hit him square in the eye.

49. Levitation Skills
At first glance, you might think there is nothing unusual going on. It just looks like a dog walking. Upon closer inspection though, you’ll see that none of the dog’s four feet are even on the ground.

50. Crazy Landing
This bird was coming in hot, so hot in fact, that it interfered with its ability to land. In the photo, it is seconds away from slipping on the birdseed and tumbling off the ledge. Luckily, though, all it has to do is flap its wings again and loop around for a second attempt.
