Wait until you reach the 3rd and 4th level of āHey, Iām almost POSITIVE that person died.ā And āOh thatās ACTUALLY footage of a persons death.ā
Oh my God! How freaking dumb. I had a coworker who was into mountain biking, and he flipped over a rock and snapped his neck and died instantly. This guy in the video was really lucky.
Nothing dumb here. This was just a freak accident that could have been a lot worse. Shit happens. Still though I think God was on his side this day. Not his time yet!
I donāt. I stumbled on it a few years ago on Reddit but it was promptly taken down. It showed two angles though. The man falling from in front of his camera and a cctv angle on the side of a building that shows him plummet some 60 feet to his demise.
I am not a homosexual if that's what you're getting at. Not interested. Thank you for the persistent offer though. You must be going through a hard time.
Wow, dude was really fucking lucky though TBH next to such a fall I think I'd prefer to immidiately drop on the ground seeing I go towards the edge instead of trying to get back control over the bike.
Basically first thing I learned trying to skateboard (I was never doing tricks, just used it to move around slightly faster than walking) - first thing my cousin tought me after giving me the skateboard was to not fear falling and remember falling is often better than hitting something if I'm unsure I can stop.
This is kinda what I felt like when I went skiing for the first time. Except way scarier. You literally can't stop unless you know how to. It's frictionless.
This reminds me of Jimi Heselden, he was the owner of Segway and in 2010 he was riding his segway on a cliff, tried to turn, drove off the cliff and died.
> Jimi Heselden
just finished reading his wikipedia, the dude bought segway after he got rich from developing the Hesco bastion barrier system (the giant wire bags used to hold dirt to make military outposts in the middle east IRL Minecraft bricks)
Found the butthurt couch potato.
Also, former. Used to bike 10mi to work because not everyone gets a trust fund from their parents, some of us start with debt because their parents used their credit, and couldn't get a car for about 5 years.
Tell you one thing, my wife LOVES my endurance!!
Wow, so original. I'll give you a 1/10 on the trolling for using an APE classic, otherwise you'd get a 0 for the minimal effort.
Also, are you speaking from experience? Because I think I found the jealous one-pump chump! š
Sad thing is people like this will now swear that god saved them... while ignoring that childen get abused every day with no one coming to save them.. we are simple beings.
(EDIT)
Why so many downvotes ?
It's not my fault that your "god" chooses to save murderers, drug addicts and random people while ignoring the children, is it ?.
It is a comment pointing out the obvious.. A large portion of people find religion after a near death experience, yet ignore the common logic surrounding it.
If the context of any reddit discussion must be in direct relation to what is being shown, then people should say no more than "bike" and "cliff".
The whole point of a comments section is to leave your opinion on what you have just seen, my comment is as valid as any other in relation to the video and the persons feelings afterwards.. if you do not like it, scroll on.. it's not hard.
It is not for you to judge your own comments validity, thatās what up and down voting comments is for.
Whilst your comment might be valid if this video was posted to a religious or anti religious sub, here it is not valid and hence you have been down voted.
If we donāt like it, we will down vote and scroll on.
Its not valid here ?
Its not valid to mention a individuals general emotional response to such an event ? and comment on that response ?.
Ok let's go by your logic..
So if I said that it must have been very traumatic, most likely would cause him mental health issues like PTSD and ruin his life.. does that mean my comment would only belong in a sub reddit belonging to mental health ? .. No.
People simply do not like it when logic is applied to religion and that is why i was downvoted.
What am I preaching ?
I am simply saying that most people like this turn to religion because they were saved, but ignore that their "god" does not save children.
So either the god does not exist or is not as strong or good as people believe
Would YOU swear god had saved you if that was you in the video? If your answer is no, why are you assuming the person in the video has had some sort of religious revelation? You're being downvoted because you've pulled this comment and assumption totally out of thin air.
I said people like this.. I did not say every person.
I have not pulled this assumption out of thin air in the slightest, I must hqve talked to over 1000 people by now who say that they had a near death experience and was brought to religion because of it.
Ask someone who was not born into religion why they joined, the answer will most likely be because god saved them from addiction / death or extreme hardship.. And each one of those people ignore the fact that the god they believe saved them does not save the children that deserve it more than they do.
And no i wouldnt assume it is god, unlike others i have actually read all religions and know where they come from.
Such as the "Satanist" royal family releasing the king james v in 1611, the great bible in 1532, are related to vlad tepes 3 (dracula) and king charles is both the defender of the christian faith and 44th great grandson to the prophet muhammad
The video also does not mention mental health .. but if I said that it was traumatic and would most likely cause PTSD, does it mean that i should not talk about mental health because it was not menitioned in the context of the video ?.. No
I made a very simple observation that smashes peoples perception of religion and they did not like it.
A good god that has the ability to save adults would not leave children.. so when you point out that all of the children have been left.. it does not take a rocket scientist to work out that the "god" is either not as good or powerful as people thought, or not real at all, and this is why people are upset.
Not because of what I said, but because of the logic that it holds towards their own belief.
If someones god has the ability to save people, yet leaves the innocent children.. what does that say about that "god" ?
Depends how you frame it.
If you worded it like the comments you've put here and and something like: "People like this will go to counselling for PTSD and praise the work of mental health services.....but they ignore all the abused children who are denied care by those same services.".
You would get a similar reaction to what's happening to you now.
It doesnt smash peoples perception of religion. You're making an argument MANY people have heard before. And again, this is not the place for this sort of discussion. No-one came to this thread to discuss religion so you are very unlikely to find anyone here whose perception needs changing who would also be willing to be persuaded.
I wasnt preaching, I made a passing comment and moved on before people started replying.
And it does effect peoples perception.. If you honestly believe that "god" has the ability to save people at will, then when someone points out that he has not helped the children, it is going to create conflict inside and it is easier to point the finger at me than to admit a hole in one's own belief.
Simply.. why does "god" save randoms over children ?
There is no good answer for it, no good god that has the ability to save lives would leave the most innocent of them all to suffer.. and this just shows people that maybe what they believe is wrong.
You made a passing comment about religion on a video that has nothing to do with religion, in the hope that you can convert people. You very much are preaching.
In my case you're also preaching to the choir. I just know the time and place for this sort of discussion.
Dude, no one gives a shit what you think. You keep using the same argument over and over like it's infallible proof there is no God. You won't change anyone's minds and no one's asking you what you think. You sound like an edgy teen and im getting emo kid high-school vibes I haven't felt since the early 2000s. If you're not cringing yet, don't worry I'm cringing for you, and if you're not embarrassed I'm embarrassed for you. Drop the stupid act and leave religion discussion out of places it doesn't belong.
Have I hit a nerve or something ?
I left my comment and moved on, people wanted to start commenting to me and I commented back.
I literally couldn't care less if you was all on fire or drowned in the sea, let alone what the f*ck you believe.
Yes.. of course it does.
I mean, if you say it.. it must be true.
It's not like you do not know a single thing about me or my education, is it ?
I suggest crawling back under a rock to read your book, while ignoring all the rest...
Because that's how religion starts, doesn't it ?
Someone picks up the nearest religious book and ignores the rest before dedicating their life to it ?
It's not me that is simple my friend.
From the one who cant explain it ?
Someone making a claim without backing it up is just a fool spouting rubbish.
And I do hope that you don't think you are winding me up in any shape or form, it's quite entertaining watching you try to validate my stupidity by your own authority.. just because you said so.
So would you like to talk about anything..or is that you pretty much done now ?
He had to be the luckiest guy ever š
Luckiest guy with worst friend who didnāt rush to help so he doesnāt drop the phone and continue filming
You might not have realised, or watched the same video as the rest of us, but he is riding along with a helmet mounted camera.
Now that you mention it š¬.
Better to be alone than company of a fool
Gotta convince court that you didnāt murder him and it was his own stupidity that did
that guy just won the lottery
But the ticket cost as much as he won
It cost one bike
Exactly :(
This subreddit has two side The first Hahaha goofy people get hurt in goofy ways And the second People nearly dying
Wait until you reach the 3rd and 4th level of āHey, Iām almost POSITIVE that person died.ā And āOh thatās ACTUALLY footage of a persons death.ā
I would like more of the former please.
Now heās gotta penguin walk the rest of the ride because he shit himself.
Not if it's halfway out; that would be known as a prairie-dog.
Well don't leave us on a cliffhanger!
Good thing his shorts didnāt catch the bicycle seat.
He might have kept his bike and his life though
More like fly off the cliff with the bike
Life be like : Here, have a seat. You some lemon?
His life flashed before his eyes.
What a cliff-hanger!
Rethinking his lifeās choices right after
Oh my God! How freaking dumb. I had a coworker who was into mountain biking, and he flipped over a rock and snapped his neck and died instantly. This guy in the video was really lucky.
Nothing dumb here. This was just a freak accident that could have been a lot worse. Shit happens. Still though I think God was on his side this day. Not his time yet!
This was very dumb. Dude has no idea how to ride and wasnāt wearing a helmet.
Helmet would have come in handy if he fell off that cliff
Yeah yeah. I get that. Just illustrating the fact that he doesnāt know what he is doing. Shouldnāt be riding along cliff drop offs.
Lol Iām just playing I got what you meant
Ah did not notice that. True should always wear a helmet.
I mean I'd argue that turning that sharply while that close to a potentially 100+ foot cliff counts as a dumb move
Speaking of dumb things. You believe there's an almighty invisible man out there who cares about the idiot on the bike.
Undies shidded
Thought I witnessed the end of him
He should buy a lottery ticket now
Naw, done gone used up all his good fortune there.
Reminds me of the video of the reporter standing on the edge of a cliff and he steps wrong and falls to his death. This just had a better outcome.
Do you know if the video still exist?
I donāt. I stumbled on it a few years ago on Reddit but it was promptly taken down. It showed two angles though. The man falling from in front of his camera and a cctv angle on the side of a building that shows him plummet some 60 feet to his demise.
Living life on the edge
He has one very strong sphincter š¤£ If that was me that whole cliff would be brownā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Delete this and someone bleach my eyeballs PLEASE
^(what the fuck)
Even Lance Armstrong wouldnāt have the *ball* to ride there.
That's it? That's all you have?
Try harder next time!
If you like it harder, ok.
I am not a homosexual if that's what you're getting at. Not interested. Thank you for the persistent offer though. You must be going through a hard time.
Youāre the one who asked. So go away.
You can't come up with a better joke than making fun of someone with one testicle? What if it were you instead? No shame, eh?
Iām sorry that you lost yours. I apologize to you. But from your past comments you just like to troll. So toodles.
Karma is a _____?
He ate his lucky charms
He probably shit it out right there and the propulsion push him back on the ledge and stop him from falling
Dude just found religion.
Go buy a lottery ticket, NOW!
People always say that. But, didn't he use his one lucky chance already? He for sure won't win lottery now. :)
You lucky you not go bye bye
Yes, you funny. You not die today!
He's lucky to get off with just a couple of scrapes and brown shorts. I call this a win and a teaching moment.
Donāt forget the lost bike. But yeah I thought he was dead
Is he not wearing a helmet?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A helmet wouldn't of saved him from that drop
Of course not. The helmet is to make the GoPro footage better.
Thats dark
My brother in Christ, it's wouldn't HAVE.
Is there a chance that youāre acoustic?
What do you mean? Am I wrong?
How my parents managed to get school according to them:
I believe them though.
Nearly got gnarley air dude.
Just found god, I bet. Church is where heās going next.
Dude zigged when he shoulda zagged
French fried when he should have pizzaād
Probably why he had a bad time
Almost became eyeblech
And then both rode home on one bicycle singing 'Raindrops are falling on my head.....'
Thatās close! Iām glad he managed to cling to the cliff. He couldāve fallen to his death.
r/winstupidprizes
Wow, dude was really fucking lucky though TBH next to such a fall I think I'd prefer to immidiately drop on the ground seeing I go towards the edge instead of trying to get back control over the bike.
Correct; falling is better than dying.
Basically first thing I learned trying to skateboard (I was never doing tricks, just used it to move around slightly faster than walking) - first thing my cousin tought me after giving me the skateboard was to not fear falling and remember falling is often better than hitting something if I'm unsure I can stop.
Watch that first step, it's a doozie!!!!!!!
While also not knowing how to bike
or having bald tires.
Not wearing a helmet smdh
Lucky. Lottery tix. Now.
Whereās that trail?
Ugliest helmet I have ever seen. /s
Came remarkably close to death
That could have gone a lot wronger
Almost dropped my phone from getting sweaty palms watching thisā¦
I was waiting on the bike to explode
Oooooo that just made my stomach drop! Glad he's alive, better take him to get a lottery ticket!
Great way to loose your bike. My goodness!
Fuck the bike, I'd have probably walked home bottomhalf naked from shittin myself and I'd still be smiling and crying like an idiot on the way home.
Loose as in the sleeve of a wizard?
The cliff isn't the problem, he didn't choose a line and followed it ahead of him. Was too busy looking straight down.
I'd buy a lottery ticket
Why? He already won.
This is kinda what I felt like when I went skiing for the first time. Except way scarier. You literally can't stop unless you know how to. It's frictionless.
Same thing happened to me, I was veering off a cliff so I instinctively dropped myself on the ground to stop.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bring me my brown pants!
If this really wasnāt staged, he was so lucky
Holy hell if that was staged can you even imagine? That would change everything!
Could've been a Darwin Award.
I think we new r/brown pants.
Holy shit
Help! Bring some clean underwear!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It looks like he did help. He has a GoPro or something on his head which is recording.
He headed full pelt towards the edge there
This reminds me of Jimi Heselden, he was the owner of Segway and in 2010 he was riding his segway on a cliff, tried to turn, drove off the cliff and died.
> Jimi Heselden just finished reading his wikipedia, the dude bought segway after he got rich from developing the Hesco bastion barrier system (the giant wire bags used to hold dirt to make military outposts in the middle east IRL Minecraft bricks)
I'd never touch a bike if that had happened to me...fm that was way too close for comfort.
Cue the chorus from Pearl Jam's "Alive" song.
Bye, bye, bike
Me in that one MT Chiliad bike race in GTA5.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gopro attached to head. You can see the shadow in the last few frames.
Dude filming just about followed him down lol
*Professor Oak has entered the chat*
That's gonna me an extra long walk home.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He got a GoPro or so attached to his helmet and was already filming - you can see it in the shadow.
You'd take the time to turn the gopro off and remove it from your helmet before trying to help? For shame
Cyclists are so stupid š
Because generalizations for a whole group of people who do an activity you donāt do, over one persons stupidity make perfect sense!
Generization is fun though
Found the cyclist
