A Google Street View image captured the terrifying moment a man fell backward down a set of stairs in New Jersey.
In the picture, the man appears to try and catch the stair’s railing but isn’t successful in preventing his fall.
In the next Street View image, the man is seen hitting his head on the step.
While some social media described his fall as “hilarious,” it’s anything but. A closeup of one of the images shows the man’s head making contact with the concrete, which could be potentially fatal.
Google also captured bystanders looking in the direction of the man.
The man who fell was apparently blurred.

The original image was captured in August 2018.
Other details about the incident are not clear.

The dog appears to have first spotted the car as it was sitting next to a boat along a road.
It’s not clear who owns the dog or if it was a stray.
