That one's been running around for some time, including a couple stints on WG.   I think everyone is afraid there's some photo-fakery about it, but no one can figure out what it is.   

The fact that he didn't fall off the car roof when the car driver he hit would have naturally slammed on brakes is weird.   

But the unaffected Russian commentary from the camera car seems pretty genuine!

Oops, I missed it last time around here.. I was only suspicious for a moment, I think it's a real accidentally captured accident.

I was going to try this on I-5 tomorrow, but the forecast is for rain so I'll hold off a bit.

Isn't practicing a little bit risky?  ;)

I hate when that happens!


Correct if he was in Australia.


Just really bad form.

I have a friend who carpentered for his brother when younger. He swears the following story is true. He was shoveling shingles off a roof. He hit a nail as he was pulling up. As it gave loose my friend broke free and the momentum caused him to do a back flip off the roof. He landed square on his feet and dropped into a squat when he hit absorbing the shock from falling from so high up.  He got right back up the ladder and finished the job. He said it was pure luck. It happened so fast he never knew what happened until he was on the ground looking up at the roof.  
This guy never told a tale in his life that sounded anything remotely to crazy. Stuff happens. I agree that his body should have shifted forward when the car stopped when he was on the roof. I just could not tell how fast the car stopped. The rear end did not raise so it was not like he hammered the brakes.

Pretty good story redrider.

Lannis, sorry I bored you with re-posting, I must have missed it, but I don't read near all the posts here.

I had an asshole back into me on the cx100 years ago and started to drive off but he couldn't take a right turn on red because of oncoming traffic, he told the cop later that it was amazing how fast I got up, removed my Shoei and was ready to pop him in the pie hole with it through the car window. But he didn't drive off. I told them it was my cat like agility ;D

He got a ticket, no insurance, should have popped him anyway >:(

You sure you're on the right thread?   Last post was almost 4 months ago .... ?   

Anyway, the only reason I say anything about re-posts is so that people can know that there's a lot of information already up on their subject.   If I get bored, I just turn the TV off!!

Every time I see that, I think it's fake.

Does anyone know if it's real?
