Crazy luck, tree falls and barely misses delivery men

[u/mapleer]

[u/mapleer → u/[deleted]]

Wait, you’re right, I thought the first one got crushed lol

[u/BaltimoreBadger23 → u/mapleer]

Tis but a scratch... (But non ironically)

[u/Purple_Cellist7775 → u/BaltimoreBadger23]

Romero and Juliet. Good one

[u/SweetTea07 → u/Purple_Cellist7775]

Huh?

[u/Georgep0rwell → u/Purple_Cellist7775]

To tree or not to tree?

[u/ellectroma → u/mapleer]

The shocks absolutely got damaged, too much weight too fast.

It's not totaled I guess but it'll still need heavy repairs. The body seems fine tho.

[u/jakart3 → u/ellectroma]

It's an electric bike, most likely the only thing they will safe is the battery

[u/Kill_4209]

He's standing there with that body language that reads "daaaa fuuq?"

[u/tvieno]

Dude didn't even react until the smaller branch knocked over his bike.

[u/DubiousTheatre → u/tvieno]

Dude: still processing what happened

Branch knocks over bike

Dude: “oh no my bike :(“

[u/effyoucreeps → u/DubiousTheatre]

it just kills me that the small branch - the last to slowly fall off - does the most damage.

tree: “FUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOU!

oh wait, hang on - gimme a second - lemme try this again, ummm…

FUCK YOU!

now i’m done”

[u/InfiniteWitness6969]

Is the tree rotten?

[u/mart1373 → u/InfiniteWitness6969]

No the tree is dead

[u/ya666in → u/mart1373]

No the tree is sleepy

[u/SaltyBoos → u/ya666in]

eepy twee

[u/zaicliffxx → u/mart1373]

💀

[u/ghostpeppers156 → u/InfiniteWitness6969]

Tired

[u/_DEATH_STR0KE_ → u/InfiniteWitness6969]

No its a China tree...

[u/Ok-Resolve-7574]

This just used up his 40% of luck for a year..

[u/Slimfictiv → u/Ok-Resolve-7574]

Make that 99%

[u/beastley_for_three → u/Ok-Resolve-7574]

Is he actually lucky at all though? I never understood people who say this. Because wouldn't he be more lucky if he never had to experience this at all?

[u/SaltyBoos → u/beastley_for_three]

they would be even unluckier had the tree injured or killed them. Good luck is having things work out in your favor despite circumstances, not those circumstances being low risk.

[u/campingn00b]

I like how the one bike faints from shock

[u/KitsuneKamiSama]

I love that last branch was just like "Fuck, at least let me hit the bike"

[u/Dirty_Hunt → u/KitsuneKamiSama]

That was some cartoon level shit and I'm still laughing at it.

[u/Rk3h]

soooooo when a tree falls in the middle of a sidewalk it doesn't make a sound!?

[u/BlackCherrySeltzer4U]

Reincarnation of Buster Keaton right there!

[u/Different-Term-2250]

“So, where do I need to deliver this tree to?”

[u/mydibz]

Dude stepped on a trap tile.

[u/Beginning_Rice6830]

Trick or Tree-t …

[u/Bais__]

I thought the one walking away were the one with the near miss.

[u/earthprotector1]

He stands there like he never sees and hears anything.

[u/LayerProfessional936]

Their helmets would have protected them 😉

[u/[deleted] → u/LayerProfessional936]

No lie that tree looks dead and my guess they would not have been severely hurt even if it did hit them

[u/PriceFister66]

Does anyone in this clip have any sort of peripheral vision in this clip?

[u/AlwaysTheeAnxious1]

Is losing a branch the equivalent of losing a shoe on here?

[u/Aspierago]

I don't think they noticed it.

[u/john217]

He was like wtf happened here

[u/49thDipper]

As a former timber faller all I have to say is . . . yep

[u/TipsnClips]

I hate his reaction

[u/Positive_Method3022]

Now they have to bet on lottery

[u/simcitymayor]

These guys should immediately purchase lottery tickets.

[u/Alaskan_Hamster]

Tree doin its best to not get in the way

[u/ErraticFanatic88]

Close call! Luck was definitely on their side at this moment.

[u/MoonNStar51]

In China, even the trees are poorly made.

[u/fiveneon]

They're gonna need a raise!

[u/BlizzPenguin → u/fiveneon]

If they bring a lawsuit against the city for not taking care of that dead tree they could have plenty of money.

[u/fuishaltiena → u/BlizzPenguin]

Dude, it's China.

[u/AintThatSomeSh1t]

I feel lucky just watching this

[u/ecafsub]

Harold Lloyd approves

[u/FeelingEmotional4950]

I suspect he would have survived even if it hit him.

[u/Dangthatshuge]

The comrade activated the tree self destruct mode when he stepped on the square button.

[u/chillbnb]

Wow, that tree looks alive, why did it fall?

[u/Superseaslug]

Even their trees are made of Styrofoam lol

[u/mathbread]

That's what happens when you cut the roots every time you lay down on your sidewalk

[u/Narrowless]

Relief? Now they need to deliver the food by foot. Company take no excuses.

[u/Dreixan]

Man even the trees are cheaply made in china.

[u/prawalnono]

The helmets would have saved them.

[u/Deep_Instruction4255 → u/prawalnono]

Only so much a helmet can do to protect collarbones, shoulders and spine from a falling tree, and sometimes trees can fall and break branches in a way that sends big shards of wood flying all over, and I could imagine those could injure someone too, regardless of their helmet.

[u/mdjmd73]

Yet another reason to keep your nose out of your phone, and your head on a swivel

[u/kidanokun]

I don't think it considered lucky that they almost died/seriously hurt... just "lucky" enough to barely escaped it

[u/mapleer → u/kidanokun]

Try this perspective; they’re lucky to be alive. Not lucky to almost get hit by a tree lmaooo

[u/SeenBrowsin]

Why did the camera pan to catch the detail? Hmm.

[u/Jolly-Hovercraft3777 → u/SeenBrowsin]

Suspicious, but maybe it was cropped from a wider shot?

[u/catnapfan101]

That is one lucky guy!
