Alley oops. No-look passes. Incredible ball-handling skills. You can now add defying death to the Harlem Globetrotters' extensive list of on-court basketball tricks.
The incredible video, above, comes from the world-famous basketball team's recent exhibition game in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Bull Bullard goes up for a dunk only to come crashing back down to the hardwood in terrifying fashion.

Thankfully, Bullard sustained no major injuries, and walked away from the accident. The Globetrotters then posted this video to their YouTube channel, where it hasn't failed to entertain. The clip gained about a million views in its first day online.

BONUS: Posterized! YouTube's 12 Most Epic NBA Dunks
Dunks 1. Blake Griffin on Kendrick Perkins This dunk set the Internet aflame in January. The official NBA YouTube video already has more than 5 million views. The dunk prompted Perkins to call out LeBron James in the press for tweeting the epic slam. 2. LeBron James on John Lucas The night before Griffin's monumental throw-down, James turned in a classic of his own. He cleared Bulls guard John Lucas to catch this backdoor alley-oop. 3. Dwyane Wade on Anderson Verejao A couple years ago, before he and James joined forces on the Heat, Dwyane Wade completely overwhelmed James' then-teammate, Varejao. In the immortal words of commentator Reggie Miller, "Welcome to your Kodak moment, Anderson Verejao!" 4. Baron Davis on Andrei Kirilenko This dunk will live forever in the hearts of Golden State Warriors fans. It came during the middle of the team's improbable "We Believe" playoff run in 2007. Davis' weird, belly-baring celebration, which earned him a technical foul, brings it up another notch. 5. Shaquille O'Neal on basketball hoop designers This dunk isn't technically "on" anyone, but young Shaq pulling down an entire basketball support is epic enough to make any list. As the esteemed Bill Walton would say, "Throw it down, big man!" 6. Tom Chambers on Mark Jackson Current Warriors coach Mark Jackson had a stellar playing career with several NBA teams, but he was on the receiving end of probably the greatest NBA dunk ever by a white guy. 7. Scottie Pippen on Patrick Ewing Scottie Pippen obliterated Knicks center Patrick Ewing in this 1994 dunk, and this two-minute video tells the entire story. 8. Michael Jordan on Patrick Ewing Pippen's Bulls teammate — some guy named Michael Jordan — also had a ruthless dunk over Ewing. He actually had a couple, but this one is the most savage of all. 9. John Starks on the Chicago Bulls However, Knicks guard John Starks gave the high flying Bulls a taste of their own medicine in 1993 with this lefty flush. Lore has it that Starks caught Jordan on this one, but that's debatable, at best. Check the tape and decide for yourself. 10. Allen Iverson on Marcus Camby Back in the '90s, when both still played for the teams that drafted them, tiny Allen Iverson was all like, "Marcus, this elevator goes to 10 and I'm dropping you off at 7." 11. Kevin Johnson on Hakeem Olajuwon Johnson is currently the mayor of Sacramento, Calif., but back in 1994 the short point guard did this to Hakeem Olajuwon. How many politicians can include "dunked over a Hall of Fame center" on their resumes? 12. Vince Carter on Frederic Weis We know Vince Carter's all-time classic isn't technically an NBA dunk, but it's so good we'll make an exception. Playing in the off-season for the U.S. at the 2000 Olympics, Carter cleared the 7-foot-2-inch Weis to throw it down.
