well that looked like it hurt

I wonder how that turned out for him in turns of injuries, looking at the way he fell/rolled I would believe a back or leg injury to be most likely

that and getting the wind knocked out of him via the bar hitting him on his way down.
who the hell drives like that though, seriously that truck driver was an accident waiting to happen.

wow , that was a bad one. totally just ran him over.

The guy telling his female friend to call 911 is very non nonchalant about the whole deal.

Perfect timing.

Thanks, Akima !!!

Yeah I know, just stand there, look down, "Ya ok?"

Can't imagine how much the rider must have been hurting. No sound but no attempts to get up. Wonder how much is just stunned, shocked, or actually injured.

Had a car today pull the same thing when leaving the side street I was pulling into. Totally took over the whole road and sat in the lane i was turning into. Luckily saw them coming so sat in the middle of the road waiting for them to clear the lane.

People just don't pay attention. You can only hope you see them coming in time to react.

Easy wreck, would be a fun day at work if I were on contract but that's just me. Otherwise I'd just be pissed

He may have twisted his leg. Unlucky dude...hope he heals up well and the proper procedures are taken to compensate.

Holy ****, that is exactly what happened to me a couple years ago! Wish I had my GoPro running at the time, cuz the guy totally lied to the cops about it, and it wound up taking me two years and a lawyer to get everything settled (and yes, I won).

Well, at least that guy (I don't think that's the truck driver) walked over and checked on the hurt rider.
A lot of folks would just stand over on the sidewalk and "not get involved".

Its a good thing to keep a cool head. I keep my senses when something goes down but I don't keep my composure so much lol

When someone falls that hard ya don't even want to move them.
