Rider crashes off cliff

http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...etely-unharmed

Not once did they tell you, or show you, how the bike was!

Although you can tell the rider didn't ride well (both feet off the pegs and headed in the wrong direction), I do give him credit for not hitting the guard rail (which is there so you don't fly off the cliff).

The most important lesson learned is don't ride alone if you are going to fly off a cliff. If it wasn't for the other rider Willy might still be down the bottom of that cliff.

Dang. Some nasty cliffs in Angeles Crest. Not anything I'd want to launch off! Or climb down, come to think of it. You do it, because the crashed person is your friend, but dude. That's a nasty climb down that edge.

I must not be a very good friend because I would have stayed at the he top once he said he was ok and told him to hang tight (literally) because trained first responders were on their way

"Is his bike down there?"
"No, it's in the tree"

Perspective and distance is pretty distorted on a GoPro but that being said the guy landed far away from the road. Just wow.
