Poor guy was sitting on the bench, relaxing (Lovran, Croatia) and then a big sinkhole just swallowed him with the bench
But he managed to pull himself back out
Oh! after that i bet he wasn't that relaxed ... what a shock for him! it looks very deep!
)... And runaway sense is not so weak anymore

On the news reporter cited unknown source (local authorities - I guess) telling some word salad like:
"Oh you know, this is not so unusual here and since 'hole' is on private property terrain it's not in our jurisdiction - it is up to landowner to take care of it!
Does anybody know how i could purchase a solid BS meter?

Huh, this is going on daily basis here, another one from Croatia. This time in Poljice near Imotski, Dalmatian inland. :O

Opening of the ground was reported by local resident guarding sheeps. Hole is 2,5m (6,5ft) wide and 1,5m deep. That's a bit confusing, because in the same report is stated that concrete pole, holding wires for grapevines support, along with few grapevines was swallowed and can't be seen in the pit. So depth is definitively undetermined.
Authorities are trying to blame karst terrain, explaining how all this is common with nothing to see here folks attitude.

And another one this morning, from the city where I live (Zagreb). 1,5mx1m approx. 1,5m deep, with tendency of widening.
Big snows and snow melt from this winter are blamed, although snow is completely gone from surface for the last 10 days and with just few raindrops 'till today.

Another sinkhole - rocky one, near city of Trogir (30km from Split) 1,5 m in diameter and 3 m deep.
Unusually torrential rains are blamed for frequent openings of holes in ground...

April 11, 2013 - Bulurlino, Russia

You probably have already read our posts about the hot water geyser explosion in Smolensk and the sinkhole plague in the city of Samara. Well, on April 11 2013 another huge sinkhole measuring nearly 85 meters wide and 15 meters deep swallowed three houses in Buturlino, a little village just outside from Russia’s fifth-largest city Nizhny Novgorod. One of the building collapsed completely. Injuries were reported however nobody died since everybody could escape the building swallowed.

A massive sinkhole opened up in the middle of a mountain road during a rainstorm. It suddenly formed and swallowed two full cars on Mines Road near Lowell on April 20 2013. The vehicles fell 5 feet straight down before sinking another 20 feet. The cause could be a violent flashflood that would have uprooted a plastic culvert and the asphalt on top, thus creating a 30 feet wide and about 25 feet deep sinkhole.

August 12, 2013 - Clermont, Florida
http://news.yahoo.com/sinking-florida-resort-villa-evacuated-061940938.html
A sinkhole cracked the foundation in a villa housing vacationers at a central Florida resort near Disney World on Sunday, causing the building to slowly sink and prompting the evacuation of the hotel, authorities said.
Lake County Sheriff's Sgt. James Vachon told WESH in Orlando the incident at the Summer Bay Resort in Clermont caused structural damage and firefighters and sheriff's deputies were working the scene together. No injuries were reported.
Witnesses told The Associated Press they could hear a cracking sound as the villa sank. A large crack was visible at the building's base.
Summer Bay Resort is about 10 miles west of Disney World.

May 07, 2013 - Wrenshall, Minnesota
http://www.pinejournal.com/event/article/id/29540/
Members of the Wrenshall Fire and Rescue Squad could hardly believe their eyes when they responded to a call along the Munger Bike Trail on Tuesday, May 7. They had received an emergency page from Dispatch around 6:45 p.m. saying a horse had fallen into a sinkhole along an unpaved stretch of the trail.
“All of a sudden, Stormy started to sort of topple sideways,” related Melissa. “I thought maybe she had passed out or something. I was tossed off just as her back legs began to slip into the ground.”
“The horse was slowly sinking into the ground, like she was in quick sand,” said Melissa.
Zach grabbed the horse by the halter and tried to tow her out with his horse, but to no avail. Stormy went from sliding slowly into the hole to disappearing completely out of sight.
The rescue squad had shovels in their rig, so they shoveled for about 10 minutes to reposition the dirt around the edges of the sinkhole into a slope. The man in the hole hefted himself out, and with a bit of encouragement, the horse followed suit.
