Axe throwing is a dangerous hobby, as anyone who does it knows. Even if someone is super careful, there is still a definite possibility of accidents.
Instagram user and axe thrower @ainsrae (Ainsley Oates) recently faced one of these mishaps, while narrowly avoiding disaster, and the video is astounding.
<p>Despite this danger, or maybe because of it, axe throwing is becoming <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelinemaynard/2018/01/14/axe-throwing-bars-are-a-hot-trend-despite-what-you-think-could-go-wrong/#16531a3523ad" target="_blank">quite the popular pastime</a>. </p><p>When stepping up to throw an axe at a target, Ainsley accidentally threw the axe at the ground in front of the target instead of the target itself. </p><p>This caused it to bounce up off of the floor and ricochet back towards her. </p><p><div id="action_button_container"></div></p><p>Thankfully, her dodging skills were more on point than her throwing ones. She ducked just in time and the axe flew harmlessly over her head.</p><p><strong>Oates shared a video of the incident to Instagram with the caption:</strong></p><p><em>"That axe almost got me 😯😯😯" </em></p><p><em>" Thanks @camdhuber for capturing this... so glad it missed you!" </em></p><p><strong>The video has garnered a massive amount of attention, over 92,000 view on Instagram, so Huber uploaded it to YouTube as well. It has been watched a further 11,000+ times there. </strong></p><p><div id="c7da91bc-8e44-492f-b7fd-c382c0e55bda"></div></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">
