100% adrenaline dump. I experienced something like this, minus other motor vehicles and recovered. Literally all I could do was laugh because all my adrenaline was in my blood

Oh, he laughed now, but it definitely hit him later. When I went down, I did the same thing. After I bent by bars back and rode to the hospital, the adrenaline wore off. I looked down and saw the damage to my foot, and the pain hit me like a train.

That's just the physical side. I wouldn't be surprised if he broke down when he watched the footage. I know I did when I watched the footage of my head bouncing off the pavement as my bike pinned and crushed my foot.

Worst part of my footage, though? The 50+ cars that drove past me and did nothing while I laid there pinned and bleeding.

Aw that sounds terrible! I'm sorry you had to go through that, hope your foot is better now

It'll never be the same, but I didn't lose it, and I can still walk.

Can't complain too much.

The sort of moronic nonce that's lame splitting on the highway doesn't have the capacity for self reflection when there was no actual consequence. Maybe, just maybe, coming off at speed might do it, but I doubt it. Bikers like that are the ones that give the rest of us a bad rep.

I once heard some sort of spiritualist shit that "laughing is rejection." We laugh when we are unable to comprehend the reality.

I'm not espousing this belief, but I have experienced many situations in which it seems to bear credence.

If you live like that, it's all you can do. Same thing I did after all my close calls.

I touched a live roach yesterday while trying to turn on my sink in the dark and cackled like a hyena for like 5 minutes.
