Timing really is everything, and for a photographer it can be the difference between an amazing shot and one that gets deleted from the roll.

The photographs here are not only perfectly timed, but make you wince at the thought of what happens next.

1. A backflip gone horribly wrong

2. I don't think he was ready to catch it

3. A birthday surprise

4. When he realizes what he has done, he better run...

5. I guess no one warned him

6. Cats may always land on their feet, I doubt their food bowl will though

7. Not the cheesecake!

8. That's what happens when you get into something you're not supposed to

17. This is gonna hurt.

18. Oh no!

19. Everyone loves dodgeball right?

20. Somehow I don't think they're in a jumping contest
