Only 5m? Must have been going real slow. I was at the scene of an accident in C Mai where a car turned right across a road and the m'bike coming the opposite direction was going down the inside of a tallish pick-up that obscured its view. The bike hit the car at about 60kph, everyone was attending to the driver, broken leg and trapped under his bike, when another boy walked over with helmet under his arm and said 'how is he'. "Who are you".  'I'm his mate, I was on the back and landed 25m away, unhurt'. No-one has seen this guy, he landed way off and didn't have a scratch on him.

I agree - a rather feeble attempt at the human cannonball feat in the largest 24/7 circus on earth. Must do better.

If you really believe that a guy can fly 25m in the air because a motorbike hits a car at 60kph, and that upon landing he doesn't have a scratch, please contact me I have the Tour Eiffel for sale at a really good price.
