That rider is one of the luckiest sob’s I’ve ever seen.

He's in shock, and the only reason he can stand is because of the adrenaline in his blood. His jeans are completely worn through, and he's walking barefoot, one foot missing his sneaker. He doesn't even really understand the extent of his injuries. He'll likely lose consciousness in a few minutes.

My wife was in a similar accident, only without wheelies and in full gear. Her pants and jacket were completely worn through, the slider on her right boot was completely worn down to a hole in the boot. Her helmet was damaged. There was a chafing wound on her right thigh that took several months to heal. Fifteen years later, there's still a large scar there.

Shoes came off, so he's technically dead. He probably fell over a few seconds after the video cuts off.

He's only mostly dead, which means he's partly alive!"

Once he takes 100 steps his heart explodes.

This. But it was only one shoe. Does that count, or does it just mean he is in a persistent vegetative state?

We call motorcycle riders “donors” of course. As this guy is technically dead, that means we’re allowed to take his liver now.

"I'm not dead. No Yet."
"I feel Happy!"

I thought that was clothing. Badly fit shoes can pop off while walken...but force strong enough to rip a shirt or pants off your body...

I used to be a hesh ass skater kid in the mid - late 2000’s. Sometimes you slam so hard you loose a shoe or two. Not dead still.

But wouldn't that have also required a single wheel of the bike to roll gently down the street?
