A Chinese photographer was criticized for taking photographs of a man taking a big nose digger over his bicycle handlebars, when the poor guy chunked into a rain-hidden pothole. They said he shoulda been alerting cyclists of the impending header, rather than hiding out trying to get photos.

More amazing than the photos, or the story for that matter (at least to me), is that the cyclist not only is riding in the downpour while holding an umbrella with one hand that could be better utilized by...oh, lets say....steering....AND, as the photos attest, he maintained his grip on the rain shield despite a full-on faceplant.
And that's one to grow on.
