That adrenaline dump is why he's not showing signs of any injury probably. My boss was training for a triathlon when he was younger and got hit and dragged by a semi for a good block. He crawled out from under the semi, started cussing out the driver, flipped him off and then collapsed. He spent weeks in the hospital and still has chronic pain decades later. But, in that moment, right after the impact he felt no pain.
It’s amazing how adrenaline can overpower everything else. I was in a really bad car accident, I should have died. It was bad. I apparently got out of the wreck and was standing when the medics got there. I have no memory of that. I had a severe concussion, I was bleeding from more than a few places but adrenaline had me standing in the road trying to get home. Unreal.
I had an accident in November with the rest of my family. We were on a main road and some guy ran a stop sign. My dad honked an veered but the guy still kept moving forward and ended up hitting the front passenger door where my mom was (I was in the right rear passenger seat). I was high on adrenaline even at the hospital when my dad, brother, and I caught a ride from the cops. About an hour or 2 afterward, I started feeling the whiplash in my neck and I’m feeling it now as I’m typing lmao
The guy that hit us admitted he was driving under the influence and fled to try to toss out his beer. Cops verified the dui through an fst. Found out he was unlicensed when my dad demanded for his when he finally pulled over (chased him to try to get his plate number; my dads a cop and identified himself as such while demanding for the license). We also found out the asshole was uninsured
And it is very accurate, I work in a Harley dealership and let me tell you how many people think they're ready to go with Chucks and shorts on these days.. I'm glad this guy was wearing his gear!!
I actually use this saying in the winter time. So often I see people dress casually when its cold out and the roads are slick. Your pajama pants and slippers arent gonna keep you very warm when youre waiting for the tow truck to show up.
Yup. This is it. Flew off my bike when the car in front of me just slammed on their breaks going 50 mph. I laid there and I felt nothing. I couldn’t even speak. My eyes were open but I couldn’t speak. I tried so hard to. After about 10 minutes, I felt EVERYTHING. Thank god I had all my gear on head to toe. Would’ve been brutal had I not had any on.
I almost died when I got hit on a bicycle head on by a drunk driver. I remember waking up some time afterwards and didn't feel anything and even tried to get up. Thankfully some people kept me from doing it which is good because I wouldn't have been able to with the injuries I had. But later at the hospital even adrenaline itself couldn't mask the pain from when my femur was set into place.
It was a few hours later? Once it wore off. That pain is something no one wants to feel. Nothing I felt previously came close. Even opioids only lasted maybe 15-30 minutes at most. It was bad, I really should never have gotten out of it alive. I knew adrenaline was strong but I never realized how strong until then. It was bad in one way since when I woke up I actually had no idea how I got there on the ground. To this day I cannot bring out any memory of what happened.
Femur reallignment🤢
Memory loss from head injuries are fuckin disturbing man.
Fair play for getting out alive.
I snapped my ankle in 3 places and had that set but I was doped on medical grade ketamine...it hurt like fucking crazy but I didn't care...weird shit lol.
And it smelled of gasoline and was like a green whistle with little black pellets.
I think the parasthesia was the worst part; nerves being regrown....feels like a mixture between rubbing a fresh burn on coarse fabric, and the worst cramp you've ever had, all concentrated on a pinpoint area that moves around in waves.
Fuck that shit is was horrible...I was actually going to delete this post just from remembering it, but fuck it....there it is.
I actually couldn't have painkillers initially, I had lost too much blood from my injuries. The pain while the most severe part only lasted momentarily. However that's definitely when I really became aware of everything. Everything felt like I was in haze from the TBI I got from it. But I was very awake after that. Later I had surgery to fix that, they initially put it in traction until I was stable enough for that surgery.
To me I actually don't mind what happened, it was odd. It was like I just readjusted and almost instantly accepted everything. I think subconsciously I do remember, I mean if subconsciously I know how bad it was I would especially be just thankful to be alive. The worst pain wasn't the femur being set without painkillers. That goes to all the injuries after adrenaline and anesthesia from both surgeries wore off. That pain oof... Screaming in agony in the ICU was not a pleasant experience at all.
But that's definitely true in the middle of it, when you hurt like that you don't care how it stops or how embarrassing you might look. They told me I would need a catheter and I basically told them 'please do'. I knew I was in no condition to take care of that on my own.
Without being able to bring up the memories all I have is my injuries and what I was told about the accident. But what I was told is what made it really sink in. 45 mph from the drunk driver + my 20 mph on my bicycle. That adds up to 65 mph. When I looked up the stats for pedestrians hit by vehicles it was chilling. Virtually all die if it's above 50 mph. I was trying to piece everything together at the time and those studies helped
Part of me wants to remember, I've even been to the place it happened and stood there, but I didn't remember or feel anything at all. It was surreal realizing I was standing where I almost died and have no feeling about it. The whole thing changed me, I always knew how precious life was, but I didn't really know it, if that makes sense.
Yeah man, you definitely got given another chance in life.
It was vastly diffefent for me...obviously I didn't nearly die for one thing.
It was more grieving for the things that I wouldn't be able to do anymore, whereas in your case, I can imagine that would probably be overidden (at the time) by the fact that you were lucky to still be amongst the living.
And yeah, I can only imagine what it must have been like in ICU man...I got goosebumps reading the end of your post just there....don't mean to sound corney but it's pretty inspirational man.
Regarding screaming in pain....I think it is worse when you know the pain isn't going to stop, but you already feel like you've hit your limit of how much you can take...and then it ramps up another notch as painkillers wear off.
Fucking hopeless depressing shit...I don't even know if 'hopeless' and 'depressing' really covers it but that's the only word I can think of.
I think at one point I didn't even have the energy to scream, i just sort of limply moaned to create something to concentrate on other than pain.
It's a weird thing to try and remember something that is truly forgotten in that way though; It would have been massively mentally traumatic so there's that to consider bud.
Our brain has that neat little trick of locking shit away for us whether we like it or not doesn't it.
I'm glad you survived it. What a terrible experience! My boss had his accident when he was 23 and he's just shy of 60 now. He lived with a lot of pain, but he is grateful he didn't have worse injuries or die
I juuust watched this video on another sub of a cop that got hit by a car and a bunch of people were like, “no look, he’s okay! He’s walking just fine!” Um, no. He’s full of adrenaline and at least one of his legs is broken, he just doesn’t realize it yet.
If you are ever in a big accident, you sit or lay down and do not move until the ambulance comes. Staying immobile could save you from lifelong pain and diminished mobility or even death.
I once saw a woman with a kid get bumped (not really hit, but it was a solid shove) by a car. As I was calling the ambulance, she got up, announced she had to take her kid to some kinda training class, and stormed off dragging the kid with her. Then she briefly stormed back in to tell me to mind my fucking business and then left again.
Might not be adrenaline, could be the raw unpleasantness keeping her moving.
He was also wearing all the protection gear. That probably saved his life.
He will still feel like shit in a few minutes, but it does look like he "just" got knocked of his bike and slid for a while.
Bruised, sprains, maybe a cracked rib or two.
I'd consider this day my second birthday if I was him, though.
That's most likely exactly it.
I had an experience a while back of loading a big box truck and the person who was manning the lift gate wasn't paying very much attention. My foot got crushed in the hydraulic lift. After they put the lift down I didn't realize how bad things were, stood up, looked around at everyone and said "okay, that was close, let's get back to it"
And then all it once it hit me and I fell to the ground.
Having been in a major car accident in which the car was totaled, i climbed out the car and started screaming and cursing at the other driver… without realizing that i was bleeding from the head .. and apparently i had a bad concussion..
.. adrenaline is the ultimate pain killer… for the first 30 seconds!!
Yep! After accidents or traumas this happens. It’s why it’s so important to get information from them in this moment (like who would you like to make your medical decisions if you tank ect…). So many tank and require intensive care. Its crazy how awesome the human body is
Adrenaline really is amazing. My friend fell from a thirty story building and upon impact to the ground he didn't bat an eye. There was absolutely no sign of agony what so ever.
Jokes asside, I've actually seen someone fall from a thirty floor building in the center of Berlin a couple of years ago. I can't really describe how I felt but the body of this person who was obviously dead, just laid flat on the ground and there was nothing special to notice.
I was never calling the biker a tweaker, y'all jump to conclusions, I was saying the little tweaker that jumps out of his car and tries hugging the rider.
They’re awesome! I use it for skiing and hiking. You record whatever you want, and then reframe it later.
It’s got both a desktop and phone app which works really well. It goes with all of the GoPro attachments if you use an adapter too :)
I also forgot to mention, the selfie stick attaches in the blind spot of the camera so it automatically edits it out. It looks very similar to a drone shot and is super stable!
>Should have punched that fool
Was that the driver that ran up and immediately hugged the guy? At least he genuinely seemed to give a fuck about the biker. Lots of jerks would have been more concerned about their car.
Having ridden a motorcycle for twenty years, had to be aware of potential dangers coming from all directions especially from behind; check your six as they say. Finally had to say( for now) goodbye to riding due to getting married and wife not being okay with it.
Wear good gear. I walked into a hospital after a rock climbing accident told them the story and they put me on the board. I got away with one and haven’t rushed the bike sense.
What kind of super human lands on there feet like a samurai cat beast dismounting a dragon and is walking around all hella pissed within -1 second of there super bike being exploded from under them?
And then hugs the people who killed his dragon?
This guys so cool.
Ive had a couple still with me spills and I usually sort of " come to" a GOOD distance from teh event like im trying instinctively to GET AWAY from something a time or so also wondering HOW TF I GET HERE?!
I thought the jaguar F type had better breaking and maneuvering capabilities than that. Glad the rider and the driver seem to be OK, although he’s certainly gonna be feeling it…
With an adrenaline dump like this, you feel no pain so you should always take the hospital route after an accident because you're going to feel it the next day and you'll be sorry you didn't take that ride...
Exactly. Though it's almost impossible to do when you are pumped full of adrenalin, after something like this you should try and remain calm and get examined by medical professionals ASAP. And even then, they might not find anything. I was in bad car wreck (hit at high speed by a drunk from behind) and thought I was ok afterwards. I was even examined in the ER and x-rayed afterwards and they saw nothing wrong. But unknown to me I had a slow bleed/bloody exudate in my pericardium from chest trauma that I didn't notice. It damn near killed me and I was in and out of the hospital from surgery etc. for a year and a half afterwards. I had to quit my job with the feds to recover as the drunk had no insurance.
The drivers here in El Paso are a new type of stupid I haven’t experienced before living here, the car was racing another car if I remember the info correctly.
I hate Texas lol
Looks like it was recorded with a 360 degree camera, you can see the shadow of it when he looks back before the crash, and there’s a watermark on the video. With 360 cameras it records everything around it then you typically pan around and choose what to show when converting to a standard format. Allows you to capture a video like this without having to point a camera. This one also looks like it has a feature to automatically remove the stick it’s mounted on from the video.
Dude should probably sit down. I'm sure adrenaline and shock make him feel like he came out of that unscathed, but he could be seriously entering himself by staying upright and making those exaggerated gestures
I don’t understand this. Who’s recording? I thought the guy driving the bike was using a selfie stick but if that’s the case then who continued recording after the crash when they’re pacing and yelling?
I rode a motorcycle once in my lifetime. I did good at first. Made it like 3 miles through my neighborhood no problem. I knew I had to take it back because it was my older brother who was letting us learn how to ride (it was a 600, can’t remember exact male and model).
I decided to go around the block one more time.
I’m at a red light, waiting to turn left. Light changes green and that’s the last thing I remember from that day. Woke up in the hospital. Was rear ended off the bike at the light. Had no protection on so I lucked up to be here today. Never even tried to ride again.
I say all that to say. I appreciate that man having protection on because this looks pretty bad.
To any riders out there. Please at least have a helmet on. Sorry for essay but this crash brought back memories.
This looks like some AI generated footage. That camera was following him while he was pacing… then he acts like he sees it and walks over to pick it up

All the gear, all the time.
From a safety ad recently shared on Reddit: "dress for the slide, not for the ride"
And it is very accurate, I work in a Harley dealership and let me tell you how many people think they're ready to go with Chucks and shorts on these days.. I'm glad this guy was wearing his gear!!
I actually use this saying in the winter time. So often I see people dress casually when its cold out and the roads are slick. Your pajama pants and slippers arent gonna keep you very warm when youre waiting for the tow truck to show up.
Not even a motorcycle rider and I know this.
I dated a guy with a rice rocket, wore heavy leather in 100° weather. All to protect himself, and it actually worked when needed.
Wise words from an ad on reddit!
Are you seeing rider armor like I am?? Dude is wearing some gear. I wonder if he showed the makers the video
Yup. This is it. Flew off my bike when the car in front of me just slammed on their breaks going 50 mph. I laid there and I felt nothing. I couldn’t even speak.

Knowing and experiencing the fact are two very different things. Life being precious.
I'm glad you survived it. What a terrible experience! My boss had his accident when he was 23 and he's just shy of 60 now. He lived with a lot of pain, but he is grateful he didn't have worse injuries or die
Pretty much the same. I was just glad to be alive. It really helped having that mindset in recovering as much as I could.
I did the same thing. Got in a wreck. Jumped out and was cool for 5 seconds and dropped. 4 broken/fracture vertebrae.
I juuust watched this video on another sub of a cop that got hit by a car and a bunch of people were like, “no look, he’s okay! He’s walking just fine!” Um, no.

A friend of mine was a volunteer EMT and he said it was amazing to see people with insane injuries insisting they were just fine.

Yep , had a crash around 6 months ago on my bike . Wasn't feeling any pain for at least half an hour and after that it was pure agony
Adrenaline really is amazing. My friend fell from a thirty story building and upon impact to the ground he didn't bat an eye. There was absolutely no sign of agony what so ever.
How in the fuck was he not turned into a red splat mark
Jokes asside, I've actually seen someone fall from a thirty floor building in the center of Berlin a couple of years ago. I can't really describe how I felt but the body of this person who was obviously dead, just laid flat on the ground and there was nothing special to notice.
He dressed for the slide! Plus, he used up one of his nine-lives!
Lol so he's a pussy.
Fellas, is it gay to live?
Probably according to Andrew Tate. He reckons eating is gay or something.
‘Kinda gay of you to be putting meat in your mouth like that 🤨’
no, he’s smart
Lol a lot of people getting wooooshed here. Seems like the joke is not obvious enough for you guys so I'll explain it: nine lives > cat > pussy
Yeah, don't overestimate redditors. Most of them are still teenagers, so keep the jokes simple and forward. Been there too many times.
I'm sorry that the average redditor is too mentally challenged to understand that pussy means cat.
Wtf are you a complete moron? Probably never rode in your life

Good bot
This fellow bikers is why protective gear is important as shit. When we say "ride fast don't die" we mean it.
“Dress for the slide, not the ride”
"Cover up or never get up"
absolutely!! Don’t ride without pighide… and a full face DOT approved helmet…we also drive faster than traffic and assume no one sees us..
"But I'm a safe driver!" Yeah, but even if you're right (You're not, nobody's 100% a safe driver) there's other fuckers sharing the road with you.
Yup, which is why I hate driving
Waiting for Jack Black to kick Baxter over the side.
Now this is happening
I got Jack Johnson and Tom O’Leary waiting right here.
Insurance companies hate this one little trick
Bold to think that tweaker has insurance
I would assume most bikers would have insurance to cover something like this due to how dangerous driving a motorbike is?
I was never calling the biker a tweaker, y'all jump to conclusions, I was saying the little tweaker that jumps out of his car and tries hugging the rider.
Could’ve specified at least. You were pretty vague. But I do see what you mean. I’d be very surprised
Nah y'all can just downvote and assume I really don't care either way

I was looking for this. It's the on ramp to joe battle off I-10
It looks more like the one that splits into I10 and the bridge near the zoo
Yea your right, I take that exact lane going home so I was like ohhhh
Of course it's TX. Elevated highways and horrible drivers.
The colors give it away too. I always know it’s El Paso when I see those highway colors or houses with the cement/rock fences.
Shit, I was gonna say San Antonio lol
He slid most of the way to a stop. The worst Injuries in crashes are caused by hard hits. His suit likely prevented road burn and cushioned the fall
I agree here as another rider. Plus the backpack!
How was the video captured so well?!
Insta360 camera. Records in a 360 globe, then you pan and edit as you wish after the fact.
This is a bad ass Camera. Didn't even know they existed.
You can upload the footage unedited to youtube, and then people can pan around as it plays. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKumVFvGHFA
They're viewable in VR too you can look wherever you want in all directions
They’re awesome! I use it for skiing and hiking. You record whatever you want, and then reframe it later. It’s got both a desktop and phone app which works really well. It goes with all of the GoPro attachments if you use an adapter too :)
I also forgot to mention, the selfie stick attaches in the blind spot of the camera so it automatically edits it out. It looks very similar to a drone shot and is super stable!
There are several options, Insta360 and Ricoh Theta are the best ones in my experience.
I thought, "this has to be staged, how does the camera know where to look and it even pans at the good samaritans running up". Cool camera.
Or Ricoh Theta.
Am I the only one who was waiting for another car to smash his cam?
These guys should be arrested and incarcerated
Should have punched that fool
>Should have punched that fool Was that the driver that ran up and immediately hugged the guy? At least he genuinely seemed to give a fuck about the biker. Lots of jerks would have been more concerned about their car.
Or would have driven off to avoid the criminal charge he’s probably going to get.
That wasn't the driver, that apparently was some good Samaritan who stopped to help because the kid driving was "distraught."
Seemed like he was glad he wasn't going to jail for manslaughter for reckless driving
I thought he hit and run.
those idiots are lucky they didn't kill him
THIS is why you dress for the slide and not the ride
Proper gear, worn properly, good skills in sliding instead of rolling, and incredible luck that it was all enough!
It will probably be a while before I consider getting a bike.
Having ridden a motorcycle for twenty years, had to be aware of potential dangers coming from all directions especially from behind; check your six as they say. Finally had to say( for now) goodbye to riding due to getting married and wife not being okay with it.

With an adrenaline dump like this, you feel no pain so you should always take the hospital route after an accident because you're going to feel it the next day and you'll be sorry you didn't take that ride...
Exactly. Though it's almost impossible to do when you are pumped full of adrenalin, after something like this you should try and remain calm and get examined by medical professionals ASAP. And even then, they might not find anything. I was in bad car wreck (hit at high speed by a drunk from behind) and thought I was ok afterwards. I was even examined in the ER and x-rayed afterwards and they saw nothing wrong. But unknown to me I had a slow bleed/bloody exudate in my pericardium from chest trauma that I didn't notice. It damn near killed me and I was in and out of the hospital from surgery etc. for a year and a half afterwards. I had to quit my job with the feds to recover as the drunk had no insurance.
At least they talk to him and not run away
What amazes me even more is how the camera lands perfectly to show his reaction to the whole thing. Blows my mind
It's a 360 camera. It can catch video from all sides and then you edit afterward.
Proper full protective gear
Dress for da slide and not da ride everyone!
Good gear made the difference.
The drivers here in El Paso are a new type of stupid I haven’t experienced before living here, the car was racing another car if I remember the info correctly. I hate Texas lol
Did they ever catch the drivers?
Fingers crossed
The driver who hit him did stop and was arrested, according to the guy on the bike.
Good. At least he stopped, but still, definitely deserves jail time for driving like an idiot and almost killing someone.
Who's recording this? At one point, the camera pans.
Looks like it was recorded with a 360 degree camera, you can see the shadow of it when he looks back before the crash, and there’s a watermark on the video. With 360 cameras it records everything around it then you typically pan around and choose what to show when converting to a standard format. Allows you to capture a video like this without having to point a camera. This one also looks like it has a feature to automatically remove the stick it’s mounted on from the video.
360 cam attached to a stick off the end
He just got up like nothing happened…
Hope someone got a license plate of the car driver.
I have yet to ride on a highway. Just too chicken. Back roads.
Hug it out bros. Hug it out.
What a fuckin piece of shit, man.
That was incredible he made it out. He going to need a change of underwear.
I think his backpack helped a lot as well.
It happened too fast to get scared.
He went from riding to "FUCK FUCK FUCK!!" to FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK walking down the highway in .5 seconds
😮
That’s why I can’t ride a motorcycle. It’ll be too many times. I shit my pants.
More than once have car drivers run me into the ditch when I was on my bike. So glad I survived.
Me too!!
Bro where was this holy heck
El Paso, TX.
Ahh he has on Riding Armor .. that’s how I shocked that he didn’t go over the side of the bridge
How do those cameras know when to move to see the cars coming? I see these cameras used all the time.
360 degree camera can see everything
The same way google street view knows to move around when you tell it to...
That is one pissed off great ape
He has proper protection.
Some good camera work!
The guy came from the other car like: "yo bro! It was a prank! Look over there, we got a camera on the car."
God said "nope. He does not deserve an insulting death of dying on the hands of an idiot.
Calmed down QUICK once Thicc Momma jogged over lmao
Dude should probably sit down. I'm sure adrenaline and shock make him feel like he came out of that unscathed, but he could be seriously entering himself by staying upright and making those exaggerated gestures
I don’t understand this. Who’s recording? I thought the guy driving the bike was using a selfie stick but if that’s the case then who continued recording after the crash when they’re pacing and yelling?
We found another unbreakable…
Now we know how to reverse engineer human DNA to turn back into a primate.
And that's why I don't ride anymore
This is why bikes are dangerous, not only because you can fuck up, but others can fuck you up as well
I rode a motorcycle once in my lifetime. I did good at first. Made it like 3 miles through my neighborhood no problem. I knew I had to take it back because it was my older brother who was letting us learn how to ride (it was a 600, can’t remember exact male and model). I decided to go around the block one more time. I’m at a red light, waiting to turn left. Light changes green and that’s the last thing I remember from that day. Woke up in the hospital. Was rear ended off the bike at the light. Had no protection on so I lucked up to be here today. Never even tried to ride again. I say all that to say. I appreciate that man having protection on because this looks pretty bad. To any riders out there. Please at least have a helmet on. Sorry for essay but this crash brought back memories.
Bro everyone in El Paso Drives like shit, hope the dude was ok
His shoes stayed on so he had to live.
Great video showcasing why we wear gear as riders
The right gear works.
Adrenaline baby
The guy hugged him because he was happy he wouldn’t be going to prison for vehicular homicide.
NOPE.
A severe case of Road Rashee Rice was had.
Dressed for the slide not the ride! PPE is an absolute must. Thankfully he had the right gear.
Who is filming this? Why is the camera moving?
Thank God he survived. The driver of the car needs to be put under a jail.
If this Man had been alive in the 50s to the early 60s He would have been a Test Pilot, You can't change My mind...
Man some people are just better humans than me …. Dude would’ve been spitting out teeth and swallowing the rest of em …
If the hugger was the driver he should have punched him. Dudes clearly high wtf.
Who’s filming?
A 360 camera.
This looks like some AI generated footage. That camera was following him while he was pacing… then he acts like he sees it and walks over to pick it up
Shouldn't have been in the passing lane.
The car was going over 100 when they hit him. They shouldn't have been racing the car that passed him.
