This is a video of a spotter of the highest caliber sliding a mat under a gymnast who missed his mark by a longshot and is about to take a hard fall onto the floor. Granted the floors are already padded, but still, that was about to really suck. Possibly

Seen in the screencap above presumably already on the phone with Farmers, this is a video of the Ocean Avenue Bridge in Palm Beach County Florida opening while a man has stopped perfectly on the hinge. I assume the gate preventing traffic from traveling from the opposite direction had already
