The hockey one looks like a lucky shot by the cameraman to get the moment before carnage
confanity
Some of these aren't luck at all, though; some are just safety equipment working as designed.
msporkboy
TFW the golf ball saves you from having to finish a coors.
Hoptimonium
I was doing fine until I saw the kid almost get hit. My heart can't take that kind of stress
graceinsheepsclothing
#7 what are we seeing here?
WatcherNotCreeper
#7, what this?
PrincePiggo
Phone dropped in snow and just missed landing on some dog berries.
dylandHero
Now I'm anxious
ThatsProbablyInMyBag
The closet was almost drinking that Coors light. Lucky the golf ball saved em.
larrylima
#14 my personal nightmare as a driver.

#15 Proper PPE, not luck.
HenryLongfellowIII
Shouldn't be wearing gloves at all, IMO.
whohasmypie
#25 oh no broke that guys water bottle
FoxSanYosuke
Daaaaamn. Some are next level Final Destination situations!
MarcelMichelsen
This is the light version if final destination, unless there's death that we don't see on the picture
dashthefox
HMMMM, that username.

BobBFoot
Protective glasses did their job!

#18 I'd kick them right in trying to pick them up
StonesOnTheHill
I did something similar off of a dock. As we were putting the boat up for the winter. Least favourite swim in my life.
davyclam
As you carefully bend down to gently pick them up, your phone falls out of your pocket straight down the drain.

#1 really reminds me of the one scene from Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) with Brendan Fraser, near the end.

#14 when you're trying to speedrun life but people aren't cooperating.

is that scar from when they ripped out your wings and kicked you out of heaven

ColonelColon
These people using gloves around machinery make me cringe so fucking hard
AxelBeingCivil
#2 isn't luck, though, that's safety gear working as intended!
FievelsBrotherFourvel
I'd say the luck is that it hit the glasses and didn't get lodged in his face meat
GreatWhiteNorthEh
Face meat can be fixed easily enough. Eyeballs are another matter entirely.
FievelsBrotherFourvel
Correct. I'm saying he got lucky because it hit the glasses aka no injury vs hitting the face aka injury
detour512
Yikes, I am forever haunted by the screams of a man driving with his mother. 2 way traffic, a brick falls off an oncoming truck right into>
detour512
Their windshield. From the comments I understand that the mother was killed.
mipsen89
#14 ive never been so angry and relieved at the same time... Holy shit
whatdoyoumeanicanttakemysweateroff
This is my nightmare
ruferto
kids spend a good chunk of their time trying to die, lol
mipsen89
So true ?
StonesOnTheHill
Yeah. Makes me realise that if I have a kids that little guy's on thin fucking ice. I'm absent minded as hell.
DrewK98
#14 Some people don't know how to sprint. Looks like she's more worried about dropping her bag than about moving fast.
TimoThreeOrFour
#8 does not indicate any amount of luck considering which package is open...
basiccricket8444
Depends on if he needed to poop at work
LonSuder
#4 some awesome Day reflexes there
Toffeeaccident
Nah I think the Jedi Master on the top right is the real hero here.

Also that human being who stuck his arm out in time.

Commas. They matter!
OliverClothesoff70
TheClaw3000
Yea I read it 3 times as "fuckin a man" and didn't get it
PapaSez
Nothing lucky about #2 ! That's just using the right PPE for the task.
FievelsBrotherFourvel
It's lucky that the shrapnel didn't go a a half inch lower or higher and slice his face open
PapaSez
Fair enough but I really don't think that's the point of that picture and I think you can see the point I was making.
theblackcoat
Yeah, safety glasses are the bare minimum but you should probably invest in a face shield
FievelsBrotherFourvel
Yea, just making a counterpoint that there is in fact some luck involved
snoffler
What the fuck bit her
PrincePiggo
Small shark at Galvaston - https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/10/shark-bites-teen-girl/10281383/

Shark bite, hoo ha ha!
incominggoats
Shark bait,you heathen.
butterflybuttler221
Shark and if that was me I would do everything in my power to make that scar. That's an insanely perfect bite....or maybe I'm just insane?

Cookie cutter shark? Perfect circle bites
blaghart
Sharks are like toddlers, when they're curious they shove the mysterious thing in their mouth.
GuysJustWannaFish
small shark, bluefish, something toothy, your mom?

What cat
OddOod
#9 that cat
Algebraicrhombus
Maybe a red circle will help.
SanshinDojo
John Cena’s cat.
kimst
Correct me if I'm wrong but if a boulder ploughs through your house thats, unlucky. But if not dying is the only criteria, then yes, lucky.
TerribleGoose24601
You don't get called "lucky" by never having anything bad happen. You get lucky with the best possible outcome of a bad situation.
kimst
Guess these are the "glass half full/empty" type of things, I concider most of these pictures unlucky for have happened in the first place.
ToriJoanne
Yeah and like, safety goggles, etc doing their job isn't lucky either...that's just appropriate caution?
Corrodias
I think the lucky part there was that it didn't hit his exposed flesh. Still unlucky to be in that position at all in the first place.
Solkanarmy
for that one I believe there's even a shot from further out that shows another boulder that had rolled down that hill previously
Czarmorte
They should have included the picture of the boulder that just stopped short of the house (behind the house from the pic they did put up)
ktkboom
Smashed the attached barn but missed the family in the house.

And there is a BIGGER boulder in front of this one.
moocifermorningcow
That one in front was already there. However, the one that stopped just short of the house…holy shit!
rssplowman
#13 landslides are fucking terrifying.
siilverbolt3
Tell it to Fleetwood Mac
badpetrock
I think I'll stick with my tornadoes instead of land/rockslides, earthquakes, forest fires, or hurricanes.
EatsBees
ill take earthquakes over tornadoes any day. it's like a lottery, and you win if you're not in an earthquake
itsthevoiceman
Earthquakes aren't that bad if you're in a building that isn't garbage. Was in a 7.1 on July 4 2019, and would rather that over a tornado.

I love the last rock like "i missed that spot"
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
That last one that absolutely destroys that bridge...
xBenoitBallsx
Good thing they went inside and closed the door. I hope they locked it.
TerribleGoose24601
"This glass will protect us!"
OverMyDadBody
That's a rock avalanche definitely, not a landslide. Still terrifying.
FairylandTrashCollector
Thats why I prefer water slides.
OverMyDadBody
Rock avalanche or just a single rolling rock. Landslide is this:
zrXO
WTF there were a hill
kruulik
There was a forest, with roots that held everything in place. Then people showed up and turned it into a field that turns to mud.
Capum15
To be fair, this was a dam collapse. From Vale, a company that already had another one collapse years earlier for the exact same reason.
zrXO
neat and sad
cecooo
#26 doesn't look like luck. It was calculated
JohnLennonjohtotorni
I think ship is M/S Oasis Of The Sea sailing under Ølesund bridge. The ship has retractable funnel only because of that bridge.
Julemand
No that is Storebæltsbroen. In Denmark. They calculated tide+speed in order to get clearence. (the boat gets weighed down the faster it goes
