Do you know what luck is like? While some may consider these people to be more unfortunate than most of us, mainly because they got into these situations in the first place, they are certainly lucky to have gotten out alive.
We believe in luck. And in the stories below, you’ll see incredibly lucky people who managed to prevent disaster in their lives, while still being inches from it.

“I work in lumber and had a customer shift a pile of 4″x4″x12’s that my hand was next to. One came tumbling down right on to my fingers.

I’d rather replace a ring than a finger any day!”
