text: Animal-lovers look away now! This is the moment a skateboarder bombs down a road at 40mph and collides with a deer head-on as it unexpectedly leaps out. Footage shows 27-year-old Jared Henry of Arkansas being knocked off his longboard to the ground while the doe spins on its stomach into a ditch. After coming to a standstill, Henry rolls over on the tarmac and opens his mouth in apparent pain. The pro-sportsman was shooting a video for the Fayettechill outdoor clothing brand before the freak accident took place. The deer apparently broke its pelvis and died while Henry recovered from the incident unscathed. Recalling the chain of events he later wrote on Facebook: 'Stoked to be alive is all I can say and I wasn't injured at all. 'No time to react, only a split second to get my arms up and prepare for the impact. I was pretty taken back about it at first but now I can laugh about it.' To date the winceworthy video of Henry in action in the Ozark Mountains has been watched more than 300,000 times. Many viewers have noted what a lucky escape the skater had.
