A woman is thanking her lucky stars after dodging a near-death experience by a 'flying axe'. 

The woman was practising her axe-throwing skills when it rebounded off the target and flew towards her. Thanks to some quick thinking, the woman turned around and dodged it before it hit her head. 

The woman who shared the video of her near-death incident was Instagram user @ainsrae. She captioned it: "That axe almost got me 😯😯😯." She also thanked her boyfriend for recording it, and added "so glad it missed you!"

According to PEOPLE, she said that she laughed during the incident, and didn't quite realise what was happening.

You're going to have to do a lot of convincing to get me to do an axe-throwing day out after seeing this video. This is why I stay away from potentially dangerous activities.
