Gymnast Flips off of Motorcycle the Moment before a Crash

He didn't seem like he was trying to do anything special... Looks like he was very fortunate though.

A Gymnast, Actor, and a Mime - because his great impersonation of a flying rag doll was spot on.

Ford Kune Do- way of the intercepting truck. It's clear to me, Bruce Lee lives!!!

He was clearly thrown by the impact. He didn't intentionally vault over the truck. If he is a gymnast, that training may have helped him to manage his fall in a way that reduced injury. The story of his "vaulting" is probably retroactively applied in the same way that a cat will give you an "I meant to do that" look.

Please check your facts before posting crazy things… of course he didn't jump off like that!

The commentary says that he flipped 360° Like a gymnast (he isn't identified as one) who ran into the small truck and supposedly Landed on his feet. By the time the police arrived, who the truck driver called, the guy was gone leaving only his wreck of a moped behind. The motorcyclist didn't identify himself to anyone yet.

Wow, that was a wildly inaccurate description.

Note: racist comments will be deleted without warning.

From the amount of blood on his arms and the rips to his shirt, I don't think he landed on his feet.

@ Farrier: now that I've been warned... hee hee...

Considering the back-channel comments I have gotten for other comments, I am going to be very careful with this one.

I was riding on a motorcycle that was hit by an automobile that ran a red light in Irvine, California in 1989. I saw it coming from the left and jumped off of the pegs. The bike bounced off the bumper and hit me on the inside of my right thigh. I was thrown 30 feet. The bike was thrown 20 feet.

After waking up with my head resting on the curb, I took off my helmet and gave my story to the responding officer (Jane Golden). 20 minutes later, I walked into a friends car and went home.

Having lived though something like this, I can say that it is easily amazing as it looks.

I often flip off other drivers.

Somebody rolled a nat 20 on his reflex save.

Ahhh, the Matrix is strong with this one. Neo would be proud.

I had a similar accident when I was a teenager, I was ripping around on my motorcycle and turned left at a four way intersection assuming the oncoming person was turning right and I hit that bumper and went flying, fortunately, there was grassy hill leading to a creek on the side of the road and I hit it perfect, landing on my back pretty softly and sliding down to the bottom. I remember standing up and thinking, wow, that really didn't hurt at all.

The story circulating about this video is the man on the bike is a gymnast. Just before it struck the side of a truck, he deliberately jumped over the handlebars. At the end of the video on his feet and apparently was not seriously injured, the man returned to the view.

Wow, comment 14. Does a bot do that kind of spam, or does a human actually copy and paste that?

Where can I get a job like that?

@Yep: -Haven't laughed that hard in awhile. You, FTW!

Every single link backwards has this video 'via', and it appears it's being accepted as an actual event and not something doctored.

How many videos have been created for viral advertizing purposes?
