Witnesses said they saw a foreign tourist and his girlfriend do a somersault after they failed to negotiate a bend on Pratumnak Hill, Pattaya in the early hours of the morning.

 

Dao,22, had some road rash and an unnamed British tourist had knee and head injuries as well as other road rash.

 

They had been propelled into roadside undergrowth while the Honda Click that the Brit had been riding with the woman on the back was on its side 30 meters away, reported Sophon Cable TV.

 

Sawang Boriboon rescue gave them first aid at the scene then took them both to hospital nearby.

First time I went up Big Buddha hill I was a little nervous as it looks pretty steep (I was riding a Honda Phantom). I'd jogged up that hill a couple times, but had never went up it on a scooter. After a couple trips it was no big deal. Coming down you have to take it easy on the curves but it's not a major worry.

 

Then I went up that hill in Koh Chang. Sheesh, I thought for sure I would be doing a somersault as well. Then going down the other side it was like, one slip and you are going over the cliff.
So glad the roads were dry.

Just another smart assed dipstick rider! And the poor girl suffers.  Him, I don't care about.

 

Not the first time and won't be the last either for this type of crash. :thumbsup:

No brains, no license, alcohol on board, what's wrong with this picture?

Right and if the bike was 30 meters away from where they flipped, he must have been giving it some gas.

Attempted a double axel with lutz, very difficult to complete on a Honda Click and will cover some distance.

 

The Lord loves a trier though.

Maybe not ..its quite a steep hill.

Ah yes indeed however, it was not stated anywhere that I could see, in which direction they were travelling. Either gravity or excess speed could be in play....

Wouldn't have been uphill, no issue there, plus where they ended up makes no sense going up the hill

I guess you must know the area, I don't. How do we tell where it is exactly?
