The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

How lucky can you get?
The video clip below is from the 1995 Circuit of Ireland Rally, held over Easter that year. A photographer took up position to get some good shots - and nearly got a shot of his own!
Cool customer, too. He dodges just far enough out of the way to avoid the car and then almost casually braces himself and snaps a picture before running in to help. Not bad...
That's just not a close call. The guy very wisely set himself up in a place he couldn't be hit, and sure enough, he wasn't hit.

Still, I wonder who had to change their pants later?
ReplyDeleteYeah, bet he needed new underwear... WOW!
