25 Extremely Lucky Situations That Could Have Ended Very Differently For Those Who Were Involved

By Andrew Alpin, 17 May 2018

Life is full of ups and down and sometimes fate isn’t always on your side. But then again lady luck acts in mysterious ways and pulls us out of a bad situation. Just when you thought you could never be unluckier, luck intervenes and saves you. Take a look at 25 photographs of people who clearly had lady luck on their side.

1She almost lost her camera

This amateur photographer was shooting a few photographs when she left her camera on her truck bumper. She even drove off with the camera still lying there. After a while, she remembered and lucky for her the camera was still there. Thank goodness for a smooth road or else it would have long been gone.

2Her foot was barely saved

This woman was working with her scissors in the kitchen when she suddenly dropped them. Of course, that was an accident but just take a look at where it fell, just a little away from her foot. Thank god, it landed there because a few inches more and she would be needing to extract scissors from her foot.

3A close call

This man was forced to slam his brakes when a truck in front of him carrying rebars stopped abruptly in front of him. As you can see this was one close call although his T-shirt didn’t make it through and he was saved by a fraction of a millimeter it seems.

4Saved by being late

The woman who clicked this photograph was late for work by just 30 seconds but before she could rush out to get her car, she saw this. Lucky for her she was late or else the photo might have been a selfie from an awkward angle.

5When lady luck smiles

This man had just stepped out of his car when his key slipped and fell. Just look where it landed, can anyone get luckier than that. It’s a wonder how the key didn’t slip through the grate.

6Animal photobomb

When this woman thought of getting her photograph taken with the beautiful ocean in the background, she hadn’t bargained for the dolphins and their calf photobombing her but I must say this is a much better and memorable photograph.

7Fish get lucky too

This is how a little girl was relieved to find how her fishbowl landed after the cat knocked it off the shelf during the night. Although she had panicked as you can see, the fish is safe but now she has a unique problem on how to get the bowl upright.

8She left the tap open

This is a common problem with forgetful people who leave their taps open but it seems even though the sink was brimful, the water seems to have stopped and moreover, it seems she reached in the nick of time before it overflowed completely.

9Scratch off tickets do bring in some cash

Many believe that scratch-off tickets are a waste of time. But this guy doesn’t seem to think so because his bunches of tickets carry all the winning numbers. This makes you want to go and buy a few don’t you think?

10Accidents do happen

Especially when you are working in construction and it appears that even though this construction worker got two huge nails embedded into him, the lucky fact here is that they don’t penetrate and shatter the bone. A shattered knee isn’t a nice condition.

11Look at your toothbrush before putting it in your mouth

How many people actually do this? Not many and here is a big reason why you should always wake up from that sleepy mode and look at your toothbrush or rinse it before brushing your teeth. This guy did the right thing and look what he found.

12When nothing stops you from your fried chicken

When you crave for fried chicken and it falls on the floor just before you can dig into it can be pretty frustrating. However, for this guy, lady luck felt he needed it badly which is why it was saved from falling in the most awkward way possible.

13What if she wasn’t wearing a mask?

On one hand this ice hockey goalie has suffered a nasty gash and that must have been a powerful drive for the puck to have smashed through the mask, but on the other hand what if she wasn’t wearing a mask, the injury would have been worse.

14When it rains axes

Now this driver must thanks their lucky stars for that incredible stroke of luck that the axe which came flying out of nowhere went through his windshield and struck the dashboard. What would have happened if it had come flying through his head?

15Double lucky

Now, this is truly lucky for you. The owners of these two vehicles undoubtedly thought that the best parking spot was near this pole. But, just look where it fell, right between the vehicles and so not even a scratch on the cars.

16Saved by a rattle

This hiker seems to have been saved from a bad fate just in the nick of time when he noticed he was about to step on a deadly rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes a master of camouflage which is why when hiking always look at the ground too.

17Why you shouldn’t wash your earbuds

When you are forgetful and leave your earbuds in your pockets and throw them in the washing, then this is bound to happen. These earbuds went through the washer as well as the dryer. In spite of being tangled up in the process, they still miraculously worked.

18Don’t cross the street when you are on the phone

This is one traffic warning that every police force gives citizens around the world but who listens? This could have resulted in severe injuries to the girl had she been a split second earlier in the spot. She actually bounced off the door of the truck and that was almost a near-death experience.

19How lucky can you get?

This is another near death experience where this driver is driving a low sports type car and that tree hit could have been fatal. But it seems it wasn’t his day to go because the tree has been stopped just before reaching its target, the drivers head.

20Luck is always with some people

Spilling liquid on electronic devices means you can wave goodbye to them forever as water is the most damaging thing to such devices. But lucky for this guy, his spilled drink doesn’t even touch his computer or keyboard, it simply flows off the table.

21Don’t take chances on the road

Even if you happen to be a police car on a chase, hair raising incidents that don’t result in tragedy happen only in movies. This cop car has actually driven another car off the road while passing this truck recklessly.

22Diamond in the garbage

This woman doing the dishes was newly married and had quite a rock on her finger as her engagement ring. While doing the dishes, she heard a strange metallic sound in the drain and when she reached her hand on impulse to grab it, it was none other than the stone from her engagement ring. That’s luck for you.

23His lucky day

Although this truck driver was saved, you have to say that luck did smile on him because a little more and that truck would have rolled over. It also reveals how jackknifing is a dangerous accident involving huge sixteen tonners like this.

24A dangerous moment

This is indeed a dangerous moment when it seems as if this fighter plane is about to burst into flames, but the pilot ejects in the nick of time and will surely thank his lucky stars.

25Jaws

It isn’t always a fun thing to go scuba diving although this looks like some indoor aquarium but whatever it is, this guy’s head just narrowly missed being swiped by those teeth. He even looks back in time to realize what just happened.
