Sometimes somebody takes a photograph so perfectly timed that it can never be recreated, no matter how hard you try. Like that moment the dog decides to puke on you while you're taking a selfie for instance. Or that moment somebody gets hit in the face by a flying cup of soda at a music festival. Check out the list below for more hilarious pictures taken seconds from disaster. Compiled by Bored Panda, the collection is sure to make you laugh, and maybe also wince a little.

Perfect Timing
Wow! This is actually stunningly beautiful! She looks like a sorceress, or something. And the whole photo is even aesthetically pleasing. She's a badass!
agree with Daria--stunning! nonetheless, wish there could have been an "after" shot!

A Nice Bike Ride
Nah, this is staged. There is no way she could have gotten so far away from the bike. They just put the bike there and she jumped into the air.
Load More Replies...She's falling soo artistically! Like: "Here I come ground, I'm not afraid!" :)
Her leg is blurred a little so why is the back wheel not blurred? Set up?
She didn't fall, she jumped. A person who falls would have their hands forwards in a defensive position, her arms were towards the back.
When stopped suddenly by the bike getting caught it likely propelled her forward over the handlebars in that manner.

He's putting his signature on her, telling other dogs that she is his. Someone needs to break him of his 'Alpha Male' status.
He's just marking stuff lying in the grass. This whole Alpha Male and the idea that you can cure a dog of it ist complete nonsense and behaviour science from over 90 years ago!! If you break your dog it'll just be afraid of you and humans in general. God, I wish people would actually bother to read some books instead of just repeating the same nonsense or watching Cesar Milan on TV.

My Selfie With A Duck
I once got a loaf of bread to feed the ducks in the pond by the Walmart in my town, I tossed a few in, and the ibis came over (The ibis lives with the ducks) then, some finches came over (They were so tiny <3) then, there were some SEAGULLS, then some grackles! Birds were EVERYWHERE!! Sometimes I feed the ducks chips and cheetos too :3 Now they all my fwends 030

Moment Before Disaster Strikes
Reminds me of the ice water challenge. A person had to wear swimming attire and just stand there while a bucket of ice water (with ice cubes) was poured over them. I had it done to me. It was for a charity. Shame it wasn't continued.
We were NOT dating and never had sex. He definitely solidified that point, though!

In A Rush To Get To The Playground, He Might Have Forgotten About The Ice
I'll bet he'll be more careful from now on. Nothing beats experience through 'Hard Knocks'. :D
this makes me cry!! poor little tike! hope his head was ok after the fall.
That reminded me of my first winter in Seoul. It was particularly snowy and cold that year. The streets would literally stay frozen for weeks. And, while we "warm people" were slowed down by the situation, walking carefuly, not to slip down, some people took advantage of the slippery iced floors to speed up as true ice-skaters. True story.

That Moment The Goat Rushed Head First
Why do they have a goat in the house. They are known for head butting and eating everything they set their eyes on.
Hah, you can't always stop them. One of ours got round an electric fence, unlatched the gate with her tongue, ate all of the vegetables in the garden and then when we opened the back door of the house (not knowing she was loose), ran in there and started chewing the curtains.

Alligator With Alligator Gar
"Uhm, yes your throat seems all fine Mrs alligator, come for another check up in about two weeks." dr fish says about to leave the checkup room after another successful patient "I don't know why he has to keep changing doctors, beats me" he mumbles as he tries to slide out. then Mrs Alli Gator takes a big gulp and swallows him whole. when Fish arrives at the stomach he meets all the other doctor's bones. "so that's where they all went!" he shouted!
Obviously this fish is suicidal, poor thing wonder what drove him to do this. If it is a female don't worry there is plenty of fish in the sea. :)
ha ha, that's funny, i mean... wait, what? i just realized i'm a very cruel person, so sorry
Load More Replies...Most Dangerous Selfie Ever
If I remember correctly, that is not a selfie. The woman (I forget her name) is a sports reporter, and the picture is a still from a clip taken by a news camera. This image appears to have been altered from the original (lower picture quality, the ball nearly hitting her is real). The ball was actually passing to her right, and missed her.
I heard that this is a beach ball in the crowd behind her and just looks like a baseball about to hit her.

Night-Club Guy Losing A Tooth
He is wearing a flipper. A retainer with a tooth on the end. Easy to pop out like that.
this is fake! if you look closer you can see the skin-colored plastik where the front false tooth it attatched to,
It actually looks like a partial (dental/denture plate) that he flipped out for a nice photo op at the bar.
No his denture plate fell out. Look at his bottom lip you can see the arc of the plate.
