Anthony Napolitan was touched by an angel or something. 

Earlier this week, the pro BMX rider pulled a risky stunt that nearly ended in a bloody disaster. And, no, we’re not being overly dramatic. Just one look at this viral clip, and you’ll wonder how the man was able to walk away in one piece.

Here’s what went down: While filming footage for Colony BMX, Napolitan did a front flip from a skate park pool and attempted to clear an oddly placed metal fence. He didn’t make it. The rider miraculously landed in between the fence spikes, with each of his legs perfectly situated between the bars. If you’ve ever questioned the existence of luck, you’ll definitely want to check out the video below.

Bruh. 

“I really don’t know how to describe this except for the fact that I’m really lucky,” Napolitan wrote on Instagram.

We suggest the BMX rider pick up a lottery ticket ASAP.
