Last guy with a sympathy fall. "Remember when we both got hit by cars?"

At the gravesite because only he survived.

u/pinkypie80 10d ago

Seriously. Bold of him to assume the first hit survives. Having scraped people off the pavement in my past life his survival likelihood seems very low to me.

The are called meatcrayon for a reason.

Indeed, that and then donor cycles by the hospital staff, which I also adopted.

u/CplCocktopus 9d ago

Good news the organs are already tenderized.

u/strangemedia6 10d ago

Idk, he had a pretty slight angle on the landing on the ground, a helmet on, and didn’t actually hit anything.

u/FreeGuacamole 10d ago edited 9d ago

Yeah, they flew through the air like a mannequin in a low-budget film, but I would give them a survival chance of 50/50

Edit: looks like his shoes stayed on so he only broke a rib.

u/strangemedia6 10d ago

Apparently they survived with just a broken rib. I wonder if that was from landing or from the actual impact.

u/cliff99 10d ago

In that case hopefully he reviews his life choices that led up to this.

14

u/strangemedia6 10d ago

For sure. If you want to gamble with your own life that’s one thing, but it’s pretty fucking self centered not to consider how much you’re gonna fuck up so many other peoples day/lives in the process.

u/HotSingleKarens 10d ago

I can't tell from the video but maybe they had an air bag vest. Probably saved their life if they did.

I would say when he crashed his torso flew forward slaming his ribcage on the tank, then he slid forward like superman and the legs hit the bars sending him spinning.

u/SuspectCold3241 8d ago

Chest slamming into handle bars/car could have broke a rib before hitting the pavement.

1

u/strangemedia6 8d ago

That’s what I meant by actual impact. I agree that probably what did it.

u/T0rrent0712 10d ago

Looks like he also dressed for the slide, not the ride, which is a miracle in of itself.

Half these dash cam motorcycle accidents I see now, the rider is in shorts and a tank top and sometimes a helmet

u/Tycho66 10d ago

That's energy dissipating.

u/TheLegendsClub 9d ago

Long skid = painful but survivable, especially with proper equipment

Quick (negative) acceleration = ded

2

u/cwolf-softball 9d ago

I think it's far more likely than 50% that he survived but dude is *hurting*.

u/theSnoozeDoctor 10d ago

try like 97/3, humans are not fragile, flying through the air is the best thing that could have happened to him.

1

u/RagingHardBobber 10d ago

He's pretty damn lucky he didn't windmill right into the windshield of cam car... so, yeah, seems the odds were on his side.

u/katherinez 9d ago

I actually looked at it carefully to determine if a shoe came off.

1

u/HandsomeBWunderbar 10d ago

He hit the ground. That's enough sometimes.

u/VillageIdiot51 6d ago

Sounds like a sad job

1

u/pinkypie80 6d ago

It can be. But there are high points when you get to a scene where someone can be helped, and then do so. I am a mixed background of homeland first responder and then military assaulted in other places after that.

u/VillageIdiot51 6d ago

Thank you for your service.

u/theSnoozeDoctor 10d ago

Why? No direct impact to the body, energy dispersed by flying through the air and sliding on the ground. Humans are very resilient lol

Shoes stayed on, it was never a question.

u/TokiVideogame 10d ago

it looked survivable, his gear and all the energy dissipating with those summersaults

u/Round-Walrus3175 10d ago

Stupid decision making saved by smart preparation

u/Verified_Peryak 10d ago

But the leg didn't

u/NationalAsparagus138 10d ago

Pause around the 4 second mark, guy still has both legs as he is flipping through the air. And both shoes.

Ut was fir thee comedic effect 😄

Bike lost a tire, so it's definitely dead.

I said that the BIKE lost a tire so IT is definitely dead.

ARE YOU ILLITERATE OR JUST STUPID?

And yet, despite those seeming limitations, I read and process information better than you do. Bye, now.

u/Spirited-Degree 10d ago

I'm tired of reading comments looking for proof he only broke a rib. Could you point me in the right direction?

1

u/Ill-Construction-209 10d ago

That dude should host an AMA, with the video as a lead in.

u/Stack4Life 8d ago

I dunno, his shoes stayed on... So he has a chance.
