WATCH: ATV Rider Smacks Head-on into Deer, Both Miraculously Walk Away

This ATV rider was blindsided when a deer suddenly appears out of the treeline and runs directly in their path. The resulting collision sends both the deer and rider flying, but somehow both were able to get back to their feet just seconds afterwards.

It’s unpredictable out there. Be safe and wear a helmet.
