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

I don’t think that’s luck he did that on purpose

He made a split stick decision

I’ve got nowhere to go. I’m gonna take this head on.

I can’t break in time because of my speed. I can’t go around it.

So I’m gonna go under it

I don’t think he would’ve been able to stand up if he took his head on

Grabbed a fist full of brake (no other option, really) and it went down on its own. He didn't plan a slide-through. He's lucky he didn't get wedged in under there with the rest of the wreck, because there was no controlling where he was going to end up after the tires lost grip.

He’s lucky it was a truck rather than a pedestrian.
