A Compilation of Close Calls and Lucky Accidents

No deaths just lots of close calls and insane luck. Some of these have been posted to the sift individually but it's entertaining to watch them all together.
There are two (possibly three) fakes that I can spot but the majority are genuine and amazing.

Crushed car, basketball, and the cops ignoring the robbers are all fakes.

What makes you think the basketball one is faked? Not a slam just curiosity. I don't see any obvious manipulation.
The tree falling was my possible third fake. It just looks off more than pixilation can account for plus why would that big-ass tree be there in the first place?

What actually happened in that tennis vid? I've watched it a half dozen times now and still can't figure it out...

It looks like the ball went down the top of the support pole. I'm not sure though.

I THINK what happened was this: it was match point for the server, and the guy receiving serve just caught enough of the net to get his ball to drop in - it would've been out if not for the net. He's running up to the net because he thought it was game over.

I could be wrong though.

Holy crap... how have I not seen some of those? That field goal one is like Randy Johnson hitting a bird with a baseball pitch... I guess it was bound to happen some time. I love the old man side-stepping the rally car, seeming to gently touch the hood.

Great compilation, good sifting!
