CRAZY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES on Camera Compilation [part 12] [Close Escapes]

14 Comments

1. The first one is scary. Like driving through hell. Literally

2. Yeah Anthony Jeselnik would be pissed too, messing with that shark like that…

3. guy with the sharks, you gon go into his home? poke him with a harpoon lookin thing, and shake ya head and do that shit again??? i hope that shark eats you, youre disturbing him my dude

4. The last one with the shark pissed me off, the shark came near him, so he almost pokes the shark near the eye and almost blinding it. Then turns the camera to himself shaking his head, but then in the next clip you see him swimming towards the shark again, just to poke it again, it pissed me off so much and it still is right now.

5. 7:35 they were wagging and happy, wtf is the problem. The guy is the only issue there and the dogs didn't seem aggressive just loud

6. The one with the dogs is straight up hilarious ngl

7. That guy yelling at the dogs is such an idiot.

8. 5:47 Am I the only one who actually jumped

9. The guy on the road with the tornado did the right thing stopping to let the tornado cross the road rather than trying to beat it across. Even if he technically made it before the funnel cloud, it would have put him in excellent position to get battered by the rear flank downdraft, which in the northern hemisphere is typically strongest to the rear right, or worse, the even stronger updraft that typically occurs to the front right of the funnel. Staying to the left of the storm might have saved this dude's life. Though I personally would have tried reversing a bit more or maybe even abandoning the vehicle in favor of low ditch a little further away.

   TIP: if the funnel is getting bigger, it's probably getting closer.

   Don't try to outrun it!

   If you're in a car, find a solid structure to hide in (NOT an overpass) and abandon the vehicle.

   Central part of the lowest level of a sturdy building is safest.

   If no shelter is available, you can try to put some distance between you and the tornado, but focus on driving laterally (to the side) to get out of the path, rather than trying to outrun it.

   You can't outrun it. It can move just as fast as your car.

   If driving laterally is impossible, and there is nowhere to take shelter, abandon the vehicle and lay face down flat as you can, away from the road if possible, with your arms protecting your head, preferably in a ditch or some other form of natural shelter (NOT trees).

   It's better than taking the hit in your car, which in a direct hit absolutely will get rolled (think major car wreck), and even could roll in just a sideswipe.

   This is what killed storm chaser Tim Samaras, his son Paul, and their meteorologist colleague Carl Young while they were trying to escape an EF4 tornado they had been attempting to study in May 2013. Look up their names and see what just the side of the tornado did to their car.

   They were the first ever storm chasers killed by a tornado. To be fair, this one was even more unpredictable than tornadoes usually are, and took multiple chasing teams by surprise. Several vehicles from the weather channel also got rolled, but thankfully, they all survived. You might not be so lucky.

   But you could potentially ride out the worst of the updrafts by staying as flat to the ground as possible. Debris may still kill you, and you may still get picked up and become debris yourself, but you have a better chance than taking a direct hit in your car.

   Thank you for coming to my PSA er I mean TED talk.

10. That third clip is a narrow tourist beach just outside an airport, right smack at the end of a shortish runway. It's famous for "close calls" due to how ridiculously low planes have to fly over the beach in order to land safely on the runway and stop before reaching the other end. Brave tourists flock to this beach deliberately to experience this.

11. Always entertaining.

12. You should add a submission thing to get more recent events

13. Nice fast upload

14. You deserve way more subs
