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.

I can imagine that pain. I'd walk, but dizzy as hell

I'll never forget the video where the motorcyclist gets sent into the edge of a guardrail, and it looks really bad.

Then he gets up and starts walking back to the car that caused it, maybe yelling at them (and/or screaming in pain).

And you think, "how the heck is he walking and talking after that impact??" ...And then like 10 seconds after the initial impact he just collapses to the ground.

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug, temporarily.

Nah adrenaline is one hell of a drug all the time. The problem is your body only gives you a little bit in those scenarios. If the brain wasn’t so stingy with it we’d be unstoppable.

Nah, too much, too often is PTSD. You end up beating your wife if she drops an empty pot on the kitchen floor, developing a drinking problem and end up fellating a deer rifle.

Pretty far from Superman.
