* insert corny anecdote about Indiana Jones or some other protagonist that runs, dives, and slides safely underneath a door that almost crushes every bone in their body *
Every good action movie has one of these scenes. Our hero(es) is running to safety but they must first catch their “window” of opportunity. Two seconds too late, and every single bone in their body will be crushed by the huge falling object that is going to close the exit. On one side, certain death. On the other side, victory.
Every good sports franchise goes through this same scenario, only without the certain death.
