Never run straight away. Whether it’s a tumbling car, an avalanche, a falling tree or some other inexorable apocalypse bearing down on you, it’s likely moving far faster than you can run.

If you have caught enough of a glimpse of what’s about to paste ya, run at a right angle to its direction of travel. Context also matters: for river flooding, find the shortest path to the highest possible point uphill. For anything above you on a slope, go across the slope, ideally in the direction it isn’t crossing the slope.

For this dude, the better option would have been to duck behind the car in the bottom right foreground.
