It's every photographer's dream to capture a one-of-a-kind moment. For comedy photographers, one genre of these types of photos is the perfectly timed moment. The goal is to capture a moment so ridiculous and improbable that it becomes perfect. A cat mid-bounce on another cat. A slipper just a millisecond away from hitting the camera.
The "Moments Before Disaster" subreddit is a place for everyone, not just photographers, to share the images taken just at the right moment: seconds before the scene turns into chaos. Don't worry, Pandas, no real or scary disasters here. r/MomentsBeforeDisaster is all about lighthearted fun, mild annoyance, and some harmless schadenfreude.

That’s not a disaster at all, it’s a pretty well executed backflip dismount. From the high point of the swing you roll back off the seat and whip your legs around. She’s most of the way there, another quarter rotation and she probably sticks the landing.
It's That Time Of Year Again!

When I was in High School I went high speed down an alleyway on my 10 speed. In the rain. At the end of the alleyway were metal bars to stop cars going up the lane. When I pulled the brake levers I did not stop... I miss when you thought you were ten foot tall and bullet proof :-)
