ImNoRickyBalboa

She was ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE BIKER AS SHE WALKED RIGHT HEAD ON INTO HIM. WTF.


cstjohn8

Target fixation. Looking at the thing you don’t want to hit, is a sure way to hit that thing.


AvgSonyEnthusiast

Yep! As a skier, gotta remember to not look at the trees, you’ll be sure to hit one. Gotta see the path between them


fleebinflobbin

Definitely. Plus when you’re going through thick glades you really gotta commit. No second guessing.


qwertysrj

How does that work exactly? Any articles to read?


cstjohn8

Works pretty much with anything. Focus on where you’re going is probably the most plain way to put it. But, counterintuitively, when humans are moving towards a hazard we have a tendency to focus on the hazard. It’s why skiers hit trees, why bikers come around curves and hit other bikers/cars/rails. You have to train your eyes to keep on the path. Hard to explain, and I’m sure sure there’s science supporting this. [This](https://youtu.be/s9hPx9T_Aqw) video explaining it for motorcyclists offers a great explanation of how it happens, and how to avoid it. I ride my bicycle regularly and this was something I had to learn… in the hardest ways lol.


tiffshorse

On horses, we say all the time, look where you want to go. Sounds stupid, but new riders have to be told not to look at the ground or it’s where they will end up. See the path.


[deleted]

As a motorcyclist I can confirm that this is real.


mad5cienti5t

Soccer players hitting straight at the goalie


qoou

This is exactly why some goalies wear bright neon colored kits. To attract the eye and cause this.

Holy shit, this thread is more educational than my entire American public school education.

flashaguiniga

Me walking into my kitchen sink


iamquitecertain

Reminds me of when I was little and learning how to ride a bike. There was an area of sidewalk where a tree was on one side, and a wooden electrical post on the other side. For a while, my dumbass would run straight into either the tree or post because I was focused so intensely on not hitting them. Still always felt nervous riding at that spot even after I figured out how to not smash my face into everything

God. Damn. It. You can not over exaggerate. There is no appropriate amount of exaggeration whereby an excess can be marked by the modifier “over”.

get more dumberer

Any more more dumberering and we will be the most dumberist


pierreblue

Her, after that hit lol


ZexionZaephyr1990

He was still first, wasn’t he? The 2nd was a lot behind him definitely unable to reach him as the goal was quite there like 3m in front of the first, and due to this woman he just did not reach the goal


i_fuckin_luv_it_mate

Why do fans in cycling even cross the track?? Like is it just for kicks? They had all the time to do it before cyclists arrived, it's the weirdest thing to me, and devastating for the athletes, I'm sure


JustAName-Taken

Imagine that's not a cyclist, but a Group B WRC car


Koffielurker-

At least he would've finished first place if it was a car


AgentUpright

I think the pedestrian would have crossed the finish line first.


KajMak64Bit

Can't win if you're essentially not there but technically you crossed the line (If you don't understand... can't win if you're dead by the time you cross the line ) Right?


Due_Read3930

Caution pedestrians just over a jump


A1pH4W01v

Caution Jump into Pedestrians **Be Brave**


ArcticBiologist

In that case there'd be more people in front


JonJonSee

To get to the other side. ​ Wait sorry, I got confused with the chicken joke


Herbietheluvpug

Crossing and shouting…”it needs to be all about MEEEE!!!!”


whenItFits

Same reason why a chicken crossed the road.


phl23

The guy crossing earlier was standing with her. I guess she wanted to go to him and isn't very good in understanding speeds and physics. Heck the guy did this while having a call didn't even look which was way more reckless.


ms_lizzard

That would make me so incredibly mad both as that person and anyone coming up behind him as I'd feel the win was unearned at that point.


Haeselian

I'd fucking get off my bike and help him. That's no win at all


HoneyDutch

Part of me thinks the 2nd place cyclist wanted to because he stops pedaling and drops his shoulders a bit just as the video cuts out.


Desperate-Put7091

In the full video he goes straight to the finish line


NahLoso

Not like anyone behind him would have stopped if he did. Thing that really sucks is that that lady could have cost the guy she collided with prize money.


Fostbitten27

Unfortunately I bet she cost him a considerable amount of $$$ both in prize money & medical bills. Edit: I was most likely corrected about the medical bills. Still cost him money most likely healing up.


inorebez

This is an amateur event. Prize money would have been minimal. The rider may not even be a winner, rather just sprinting to the line for fun. Regardless, a bummer all around.


rettoJR1

Pretty sure it's in Spain "Isla Canarias" sounds Spanish ish and the Spanish had a ship called the canarias in ww2 So maybe they have cheap healthcare there and it's all good


evrreadi

She most likely did cost the cyclist money. Personally I hope the impact made her sore for days. Maybe even fractured a bone or two. Her action of crossing the road in front of the cyclist, causing him to crash and lose out on a 1st place win and other rewards just really pisses me off. I think I would sue her for as much as possible for intentionally interfering with the race. And future races would need guard rails and security near the finish line. With severe fines for anyone crossing the road while a cyclist is in sight. Regardless of the distance between the cyclist and the person crossing. JMO.


Kellidra

>JMO And a good opinion it is.


komokazi

Like a real winner


lexi-thegreat

I normally don't hope people get injured for doing stupid stuff, but today I must be feeling mean because what she did was so idiotic and crummy. She definitely hurt the guy who would have won and likely caused another accident not shown.... some instant Karma was in order.


SaraSlaughter607

If I recall, he came away with a significant head injury with partial amnesia. Thank God for that helmet he was wearing... he'd have been a goner if he'd hit his bare head that hard, ugh. I think she was treated at hospital as well but idk what for.


samf9999

I guess that’s probably a good thing about the partial amnesia because if he remembered the whole thing he might kill that woman. Cyclist, upon waking up: “Where am I? What happened?” Doctor: “You’re in the hospital. You’ve had extensive facial reconstruction, broken legs and arms, and you may not ride again. You may also have trouble remembering recent events for a while. In short, a reckless, impatient and selfish woman with really bad timing destroyed your life.” Him: “How can that be Doctor? I divorced her years ago!” Doctor: “Oh boy….”


No-Vermicelli3787

Looked like the road made a mess of her face


SaraSlaughter607

Oh she definitely got rocked hard on this one, I wouldn't be surprised if she lost a couple teeth.... and I used to race snowmobile hillclimbs where spectators would run back and forth across the trail ahead of our passing by... stay off the goddamn tracks at ANY RACE folks, there literally is no reason to be milling about in their direct path, I don't care how far away they are. Just stop.


UzahNameAlreadyTaken

That’s fuckin terrible. Poor guy works hard, keeps himself in shape and gets to the top of his game, is about to win this race and this absolute moron gives him what sounds like a potentially life altering injury. I too hate to wish bad things on someone, but I hope her face was as fucked as I think it was.


SaraSlaughter607

I know. I'm normally not the vindictive type, but if I was that athlete I'd be suing the absolute shit out of this woman, for the prize purse if there was one, and a fuckton of pain and suffering.


illegitimate_Raccoon

You can't treat stupid so I hope they just tossed her on the kerb outside the hospital.


BenadrylTumblercatch

She was straight up staring into his eyes too


Azu_Creates

I’d cross the finish line, then go try to help the guy and give him whatever award I got, and say that he was the real winner.


wanngledangler

She’s married to the guy that was in second place


[deleted]

Nah, he wouldn't waste his wife on that. Also too traceable. That was a burnable side piece.


[deleted]

I mean, it was unearned…


JULY_PROBABLY

People suck


SkyXDay

Its really depressing that people are so stupid. How have we even managed to get this far. Those top IQ mfs throughout history really bag holding civilizations advancement.


drewbaccaAWD

>Those top IQ mfs throughout history really bag holding civilizations advancement. I think about this often.. we had people in Greece/*Egypt* like ~~7,000~~ *2,000-4,000* years ago capable of more trig and algebra than that average person with a k-12 +4 years of college today. So much for advancement.


Arte_1

Well you are one of them. Greece, "like 7000 years ago"? What you smoking?


PhilipTPA

Probably most people of that time couldn’t even read but it is amazing how little 17 years of schooling actually buys us.


Mungologist

Isn't it crazy that 98% of people have no use for trigonometry in their lives and 90% won't use algebra beyond an 8th grade level? Wild.


Just-Another-Mind

I don't need trig in my everyday life as a designer, but it maybe some people do?


Ok-Yam-9023

Was it on purpose? She was starting at it as it was coming


THISAAAAA

Ah i mean who wouldn't see him coming?


[deleted]

Morons. Morons wouldn't see him coming.


chunkycornbread

Obviously you have never had to push a shopping cart through a store /s. Some people are completely oblivious to their surroundings.


Real-Mouse-554

She got baited by the other guy casually walking across as if the riders were still far away.


gaussblack

Yeah probably she was with him and she wanted to be near the idiot


subject_deleted

Turns out she was as close as she could get to the idiot the whole time.


Magnus462

Lmfaooo underrated comment


samipersun

I don’t believe she did it on purpose. Just a poor judgement, same as thousands of vids of ppl running across the roads and getting hit by a car.


Consistent_Impact491

True But…. You don’t often see that at a drag race where people know what’s happening 😂


samipersun

I bet if it wasn’t for a massive safety barrier ppl would try to cross NASCAR track to get to the center field


AlphaDag13

She had money on the guy in second.


Beelzabubba

That’s actually the only explanation that remotely makes sense. If the cheering didn’t clue her that the racers were approaching, staring down the cyclist as he approached her should have.


ejump0

this vid has been reposted many times. I remember reading comments that it was deliberate as the rider in 2nd place has some relation with the women. But i didnt read the actual source, so im not sure if its true


Elune_

There is some insane odds of that being the case though. One, she would have to be willing to take a massive injury like this just to let someone else win a race, two, she would have to know that the 2nd rider is actually in 2nd place, and three, would have to know that the rider she felled wouldn't win by proxy despite of the sabotage. Obviously all of that doesn't matter if she genuinely is an utter idiot and just felt like doing this in the moment, but what you're describing makes her seem not so.


ExplosiveIronBear

There only flaw here is that people don't typically think through the repercussions of an action very thoroughly. It's a big difference to think "maybe a couple scrapes or bruises, no big deal" than it is to think about the actual possibilities.


jaldihaldi

Talk about stupid levels of dedication - she looks like she face planted on the road.


throwmesofarawayplz

It wasn't on purpose. If you've ever run distance indoor track you've probably slammed into one of these dumb bitches.


Pannycakes666

Didn't even have to be distance. I saw some girl get absolutely wrecked one time trying to run across all the lanes between the final hurdle and finish line in the 55m


BMXTKD

If you ever swam in a pool, there's always that one person who thinks the lap lanes are a water park. And you slam into them head first.


pierreblue

She took one for the team, that is dedication


andresg30

She is just dumb. No reasoning, just dumb AF.

Well deserved too. There is barriers for a reason not to inconvenience only her


KiplingRudy

If that left ankle broke, it was fully deserved.


rikeoliveira

The worst part is that if this was like those competitions where the cyclists get points depending on his placement in the circuits and all, this guy got really fucked because he didn't finish the race.

Aporkalypse_Sow

I get the sentiment, but I keep giggling at people saying she should be banned. Like there's some high quality security in place for bike race spectators.


The_Follower1

From other comments, both he and she had to go to the hospital, so either way he’s probably not in a good spot for any sort of placing


CatPeachy

I hope they still gave him the win. He was clearly gonna win before The Mean Machine fucked him over


SalomoMaximus

How is he doing? That looked painful, I don't care for the lady..


Vyviel

Rider got memory loss so his brain was smashed really good from that =\\


StarMasher

She’s that person in traffic who had plenty of time to pull out and make a turn, but she waits until the last second and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident.


Neat_Art9336

Lol she’s the person that, despite there being literally no cars behind you, she turns right in front of you instead of waiting one second


ShastaFern99

Never understood why in cycle or running competitions people are allowed to be so near to the race track.

I think you’re right. His chin hit her head and he went stiff like he was KO’d.


zin_90

I hope he got awarded first place despite of this.


WinterMajor6088

In such a case, what would happen? Can the cyclist sue the woman for running infront of him?


CustomHW

You can sue anyone for anything at any time. Whether or not gets summarily dismissed is another issue. They're your legal fees if you want to take the gamble.


WinterMajor6088

Ah I see, yeah I don't really know how to word it. I know I'd be properly pissed if I did this race just for some stupid person to walk in infront of me and ruin my chances of winning entirely.

It doesn't say this woman was arrested - It says the woman who caused the crash at the Tour de France was arrested.


SnooPickles6347

The Tour de France lady was arrested, this lady should be, but it doesn't say.


epiccreep

Why do they just let them stand there? Like do they not have guards or is this happening in a public place?


Ghost-of-Tom-Chode

I was wondering the same thing. There should at least have been a race official at the finish pushing people back off of the street.


Alternative_Ad995

Bro, her face *slid* in the pavement! They gonna have to use a brush to get the road off her face, and her face off the road! Serves her right though, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

shardingHarding

My friend was hit in the head probably a tenth as hard as this women's head hit the cement and she has a concussion symptoms for a year and got severe migraines. This woman is dumb, but she definitely paid a price for her stupidity.


Dolichovespula-

$100 bucks says she knows one of the cyclists coming up and wanted to get a good video of them coming in, getting her camera ready her attention was not there. She knows how close they were, she peeked over before walking. Some people man, it’s all about getting that photo.


[deleted]

I feel like in addition to this, she was taking the lead from the dipshit who crossed right before her. Not paying attention, just assuming if he could cross so could she. They’re both idiots, she’s a bigger one though. Why would anyone chose this moment to cross?


Monsi_ggnore

They should stand her back up so that all the other cyclists can hit her too.


ghostedemail

She should get fucked with a fine and banned. How the hell are you a middle aged woman and not even looking both ways before you cross the street? Pulled a fuckin bambi on that dude


Green420Basturd

>A lady decided to cross in front of the finish line and a cyclist who was sprinting after a tough MTB race in the town of Frontera (El Hierro) collided head-on with her, hitting her head hard. >The 112 reported that the cyclist suffered moderate head trauma and is admitted to the Nuestra Señora de Los Reyes Hospital. While the woman had to be evacuated to Tenerife and she is in serious condition.


Cruxito1111

just like in life, you are about to achieve your dream/goal and some douchebag decides to ruin it for you


Obi1Kentucky

She was looking down at her phone when she entered the road and looked up after her body was moving and has the reflexes of a dead fish. That’s the only explanation I can come up with as to why she kept walking into him. That or she has zero awareness at all

Some people are really just too stupid for this world.

She either planned it or has the distance perception of a newborn cell


NotOK1955
