Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime, and to anyone. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an athlete, an adventurous traveler, or just anyone else having a really bad day. Your chances of having these weird accidents are low, but not zero.
Given the demands of their jobs, professional athletes are known to be in great shape. However, sometimes life is all about mischief. An article in Bleacher Report shares how former professional baseball player Sammy Sosa once had to miss a game because of a sneeze. Sousa sneezed so hard that we tore a ligament in his back and forced him to miss a game. It really shows how we need to protect ourselves, even the most mundane things!
Even major Hollywood stars are not immune to unusual accidents. In a segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Leonardo DiCaprio’s skydiving incident reminded him of this mortality.
He’s doing a tandem dive. The first parachute didn’t open and they cut the rope. They began to fly in the direction of free fall, which he described as “that’s when the 8×10 of your life flashed before your eyes.” The second was also entangled, and all around him were friends Parachute while still falling to the ground. “The thing tangled up for about 20 to 30 seconds, and then he undid it and said, oh, you might break your leg now because we’re going so fast.”
Luckily, Leo didn’t break his leg, but it’s safe to say he won’t be skydiving again anytime soon.
