A Ninja Hits A Truck

[nikster]

Turns out Ninjas ride motorbikes too. If they should hit a truck, they just flip over it and land on their feet.

Check out the insane footage below! Either this is the luckiest man on earth, or he's Jet Li.

Lucky man, notice the truck does not stop!

He is lucky but not show him landing on his feet.

He is lucky but not show him landing on his feet.

Yeah you can see it if you look at him closely at the time of impact, all the way down in the right corner you can see him landing on his foot after cartwheeling over the truck. The report supposedly claims he did land on both feet (I don't speak chinese so can't confirm) - I can believe it just from the way he's walking around though... notice the total lack of protective equipment, he's not even wearing a helmet!

Did I see his mobile phone flying out of his hand?

The touching concern of all the passers by is glaringly obvious.................not.

This reminds me of bike patrol training where they taught us the best thing to do in a head on with a car is to hold on to the handlebars and jump if you can so to flip over the car. I guess this is proof that that works works.

No helmet either.

Don't try that at home folks.

[gotlost]

OK his right foot did touch inbounds. Did you see his shirt, riped and red he did take a fall.

Well it is China.

People think the Chinese are complete xenophobic racists.

Which isn't actually the case at all.

They treat everybody and everything like it's a piece of dogshit, not just us.

a big bike would have totalled the van, very lucky man, as to who is to blame ? well hard to tell really, looks like the bike was going pretty fast

I once had a head on with exactly that happening.. Hit, flipped, up over the car and down on the flat of my back.. In T shirt and flip flops with nothing more than a minor graze on a toe etc..

All fairly low speed (scooter) but still incredible luck.

A fella I worked with did a fly over of a pickup, handlebars broke both femurs as he went flying.

I did also end up with a nice deep purple (soon to do that lovely green / yellow rainbow) on one thigh..

Wasnt a massive speed tho as I said scooter and me being a prat. Could have been horrible tho.

I must be incredibly lucky. In all my years riding I have never hit another vehicle!

[LivinLOS]

Was my only bike car accident now I think.. tho I have had a lot of bike offs when young and stupid that didnt involve cars.

Only ever had one car to car also and have driven serious distance for work.
