A 25-year-old base jumper in Italy fell a thousand feet and SURVIVED after his parachute got twisted, and he hit the ground at 40 miles an hour.  You can check out the helmet cam footage he posted online.

He landed next to some sort of metal stand that had a big row of SPIKES on top of it.  And one of them brushed his face as he went by, then ripped his helmet off.

But he somehow only suffered minor injuries, and was in and out of the hospital within a few hours.  (Search for "Daredevil Base Jumper Escapes Death by Inches."  He jumps at :07 and hits the ground at :29.)

A mugger in Colombia was arrested after he stole a woman's cell phone . . . then promptly walked into the path of a speeding BUS by mistake.

There's security footage of it online, and he seriously got NAILED, but somehow only sustained minor injuries.  It reportedlyhappened earlier this month, although the timestamp on the video says "2011."
