49 Photos That Capture The Split Second Before Disaster Hits And They’re Hilarious
Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to photography. Sometimes, the camera captures a perfect sunset, a baby's first steps, or the exact moment a romantic proposal happens...
Other times, it unexpectedly snaps something a little less magical and a whole lot more chaotic. Those split seconds just before disaster strikes and everything goes hilariously wrong. These photos are a perfect mix of comedy and tragedy. Minor but funny tragedies that involve things like coffee spills, chairs breaking, slipping, or silly mishaps. Harmless misfortune at its finest.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of the best pictures taken at the most hilariously perfect time. Many are reminders that life is unpredictable, embarrassing situations are universal, and, no matter how graceful we try to be, sometimes we fail in spectacular fashion. And if we're really unlucky, it gets frozen in time forever for all the world to see.
We also explore when it's okay to brush off your clumsiness and when it might point to something serious. You'll find that info between the images.
