Most good vids are reposts, I don't care. This is a reminder to people that a small mistake can go very bad very quickly.

Never seen that, guy didn't have his head in the game, or never rode a curve. Either way very lucky.

That WAS somebody from here, but I don't remember who. I remember last year when that was posted and the story behind it. That's a clear case of panic and freezing. Got extremely lucky.
Another good example of why not to ride hard on the roads.

I will admit that guy is retarded and freakin never even got close to taking that corner correctly.. however... freezing and panicing never happened.. that guy kept his lean and then manuvered out of the way of the other two cars.. freezing and panic would have ended differently trust me!!

It's someone on here. (like everyone else, not sure who.) I would have shat myself.

Looks like a case of target fixation. Went a little too hot into the corner, panicked, and fixated on either the guardrail, car or edge of the road. (on theory anyway.)
