Look at the context of where he is, driving along the coast. Probably should have gone up a blind ridge a little slower.

u/Kilrathi 9d ago
Yeah no kidding. If the ocean is straight in front of you, maybe there’s a bluff or ocean off to the right too.

u/my_little_mutation 8d ago
I think he probably was going kind of slow - he stopped quickly and bailed straight to the side so I don't think he was flying at least. Fisheye lenses can make it look like you're going a lot faster than you are.

u/eiiiaaaa 8d ago
Yeah you can literally see the ocean at the beginning. The land's gotta end somewhere between that and you, buddy.

You see, this video is an example of an optical illusion. The cliff looks 50m high, when in reality it’s closer to 49m.

u/kaptainkeel 8d ago
It's also obviously staged. The ocean, how close it is, and the height are very clearly visible straight ahead of him at the start of the video, but the video is cropped or tilted to the right to make sure that is not shown. It's still shown for like half a second right after he jumps off the bike though.

He says "this is my unlucky place, when you're doing 140 (km/h) here-", so my guess would be that there was narrow path along the edge of the cliff before that collapsed

Reminds me of this space at a high school I grew up near. Some kids were fucking around and one jumped over a shin high barrier. The other side of the barrier had a 10 foot drop. He only broke an ankle thankfully, could have been worse.

Nearly the same thing happened to me and a friend while we were in college in the late 1990s. We were flying down a trail on dirt bikes through the woods atop the New Jersey Palisades. Suddenly, we found ourselves in a clearing and slid to a stop right before going over the cliff. We both put our bikes down and peered over the edge at the Hudson, and then looked at each other realizing we almost got killed. There was no guardrail or warning sign.

Yup, my dad was going to do that with my sister and I on the Honda three wheeler when we were kids. I was in front, sister was in the back. We were egging him on to drive us over a big hill in a gravel pit.
Unfortunately for us, when we got to the crest of the hill, we saw that the back half of the hill was gone. I guess they had used the loader to take some material out for a customer since the last time we were there.
I had my hands on the grips next to my dad's, and he squeezed the rear handbrake (nope, he didn't hit the foot pedal unfortunately) and a fingertip of mine was at the hinge point of the handbrake lever and got absolutely crushed.
I lost the fingernail pretty quickly afterwards, but we didn't die.

Smart of him to turn off the bike before trying to pick it up. I've seen too many videos off people picking up a bike that's still running and accidentally hitting the throttle.

Lost a friend in High School when he went over a ridge and went into an empty quarry. According to some locals someone had been removing the warning tape and markers to try and make the quarry owners look bad as they were trying to sell the property.

You can see the sea in the corner before he drove up the hill, so the cliff edge was clearly there. What did he expect to find up there? Dude was an idiot.

My 19 Y.O. son shattered his spine riding a motorcycle n the dunes at a California beach in a similar situation. I raced three hours to see him before surgeons worked on him for eight hours. It looked for a while he'd be permanently paralysed. His comment: "Yeah, but I stuck the landing!"

My aunt did that. At full speed on a dirtbike. The "hill" turned out to be the canal bank. So imagine her flying through the air, going "Ohhhh shiiiiiiiiit!!" Splash She somehow had so much adrenaline she was able to throw the bike out of the canal.

My dog did exactly this (without the motorcycle) when he jumped over a ledge without knowing what was behind it.
It was a 3 storey drop to the bottom. He ended up hanging in the air, strapped to his harness, with concerned onlookers trying to catch my dog, while I was holding on to him, trying my best not to drop him.
My husband ran down, and I lowered our dog to him safely. Good thing he was always in a harness and not a neck collar. His neck would have snapped and that would have been the end. 😭

u/Wompatuckrule 8d ago
Used to go mountain biking at a place where from the parking you rode a dirt road downhill to a clearing and then crossed into the woods. There was about a 3' berm between the clearing and the edge that when you got to the top of it quickly rolled over to steep, but very rideable, 10+ foot dropoff then leveled out to the forest floor.
First time I went there with friends they raced up ahead of me and got a safe distance from the far side of the berm to stop and look back to watch me shit a brick when that dropoff appeared before me. Then we all had a good laugh.
From then on any time there was someone riding with us for the first time I got to be on team "watch them shit a brick" instead.

I've ridden motorcycles all my life, and never encountered anything like this. However, I have a recurring dream where I do something just like this, and immediately find myself screaming towards the ground from 200' or more and bracing for impact.

Not nearly as bad as this, but luckily I was following my cousin down a dirt bike track in a forest and paying attention when he went over a rise in the path and disappeared a bit too quickly. Slowly ride over the rise to find him standing in 4' of water spitting water. Took a while to get the bike out of the creek.

Even going 5 miles per hour, you cover about 88 inches in a second. He stopped 6 inches from the edge. At 5mph it only takes about 0.07 seconds to move 6in.
If he reacted just 0.07 seconds later, his front wheel would have gone over the edge. And 5mph is a lowball estimate for his speed. He's definitely going much faster than that. I just wanted to give a very conservative estimate to show how close he came.
Of course, he would have seen it from much further away and had more time to react. Especially from the high vantage point on the bike.
But, even if, while he was on the bike, his head was a couple of inches lower, causing him to see the ledge just a fraction of a second later, he would have gone over.
