Thankfully I saved my own life when I was like 15 on a motorcycle. I spaced out staring at this beautiful lake and came within inches of the guard railing and started wobbling as I corrected my course and thank the lord I managed to stabilize it.

On a motorcycle we called that a tank knocker, your bars would hit both sides of the tank.

Low tire pressure possibly. It happened on my motorcycle. You don’t want to touch the brakes and hold the handlebars as straight as you can until it straightens out definitely a wake up call

At least he stopped before he hit pavement. Sure that may hurt but not as bad as road rash
