In terms of immersion, Red Dead Redemption 2 is second to none. Whether it's the game's meticulous attention to the finer details, the plethora of systems devoted to believability and realism, or just its beautiful graphics, it's easy to forget you're playing a game during sessions of Red Dead Redemption 2.

That said, it's an open-world game. And like any ambitious open-world game worth its salt, sometimes things go wrong, and hilarious high jinks occur. And while Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of designed dynamism meant to provide for high jinks, sometimes things go wrong in a less than scripted manner.

Yesterday, Reddit user "FettShotFirst" experienced the latter the hard way, and learned a valuable lesson: if you hear "timber" get the heck out of there.

Now, if you've played Red Dead Redemption 2, you'll know that if there are high jinks and glitches to be had, it likely involves a horse. While drastically improved from the previous game, controlling horses sometimes goes sideways. Whether it's all of a sudden your horse front flipping to its death because you walked into a tree stump or your horse bugging out as you try and navigate a tight space, horses are at the center of chaos in Red Dead Redemption 2.

I mean, look at this:

Definitely the fastest horse in the game from r/reddeadredemption
