hit

A surprise proposal on the Brooklyn Bridge went viral this past weekend, but not for the reasons you might think. The photographer on hand to capture the special moment kind of upstaged the couple when he got run over by a cyclist just as the bride-to-be was about to say "yes."

Here's a strange occupational hazard for certain sports photographers: getting hit by a shot putter. That's what happened to one photographer at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Portland, Oregon.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen got a little carried away last week when, after committing his third foul, he decided to take out his frustration by smacking Bo Bradley's camera as he was capturing the action -- an act that is going to cost him.

A photographer lost his life last Saturday during a photo shoot on the Union Pacific U.S. Highway 50 overpass in Sedalia, MO when an Amtrak train came around a blind corner and couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting him.

We’re all aware that photographing motor sports can be a dangerous task. Whether it’s on an oval track, a road course, or along country ravines, there’s always an inherent risk when a comparatively fragile human is photographing thousands of pounds of metal, carbon fiber, plastic and glass traveling at speeds far above what many of us have ever driven.

But as the above video goes to show, it's not always the vehicle itself you have to worry about... the pieces that occasionally come off the vehicle can be just as dangerous.

We’ve shared just how dangerous it can be to get in the way of a drive down the fairway of a professional golfer before, be it on accident or by request. But today we’re sharing something that’s potentially even more impressive, albeit quite a bit more costly than previous events.
