He’s all smiles as he anticipates a whirlwind weekend getaway in the big city. But while he daydreams of sightseeing and selfies, pandemonium is about to erupt dangerously close behind.

In the background, a cyclist is completely eating it as he violently crashes into a lamppost face-first! The way his body crumples and contorts looks like something from a cartoon. We can’t imagine how much damage his poor face must have endured from that iron pole.

Our minds race thinking about how this horribly timed photograph even happened. Was the vacationing man so distracted by his tropical trip that he blocked out the sound of the bicycle smashing into the lamppost with a hearty bonk? One can only hope someone ran to check on the fallen cyclist after snapping this shot. Though by the looks of that contorted pose, he may have been too dazed to even remember his own name, let alone that wince-worthy faceplant! Let’s just say this guy really needed to “pole-vault” out of the way in time. At least the lamppost got a nice smooch out of the deal!
