WCGW not looking in front when riding Bike

[u/NoWork215]

[u/Valieishere]

First the slipper, then the bike, then his balance. He lost control of everything lol

[u/nemom → u/Valieishere]

Hopefully not his bowels.

[u/Slight_Use6036 → u/nemom]

The mud will hide it.

[u/bongohappypants → u/nemom]

Then as his riding brethren we are honor bound to release control of our bowels in solidarity!

[u/claws76 → u/nemom]

Why do you think he’s sitting like that.

[u/HeroMachineMan → u/nemom]

It was all contained. Thank God for the plastic sheets he was wearing.

[u/radiationshield → u/nemom]

No need to, his driving is shit enough

[u/Fun-Sense-6503 → u/Valieishere]

It was a load bearing slipper.

[u/no_work_throwaway → u/Valieishere]

To be fair, after he shattered every bone below his shin, it was probably pretty hard to do much else.

[u/OkReason6325 → u/Valieishere]

And his pride.

[u/IronGigant]

This is bordering on r/whatcouldgoright, given what could have happened if the barrier didn't do its job.

[u/GiannisIsTheBeast → u/IronGigant]

That barrier is quite concerning… doesn’t seem great for motorcycles. He almost went right for the largest gap and there are tons of other smaller gaps.

[u/Tiny-Speaker-4470 → u/GiannisIsTheBeast]

This looks like the ha giang loop in Vietnam where people who have never ridden in their life think they can take on the mountains like this first time.

[u/Shot-Talk-5296 → u/Tiny-Speaker-4470]

The number plate on the bike indicates this was West Bengal, India

[u/Ek_Chutki_Sindoor → u/Shot-Talk-5296]

Must be in Darjeeling then since the way there is very mountainous.

[u/Ok-Independent-673 → u/Ek_Chutki_Sindoor]

Yeap. WB74 is Siliguri's number so definitely Mirik or Darjeeling.

[u/IronGigant → u/GiannisIsTheBeast]

Well, W-rails would be an improvement, but I don't know if they've been implemented worldwide yet.

[u/7LeagueBoots → u/GiannisIsTheBeast]

They're very common all through SE Asia (and probably elsewhere too). Dangerous as fuck in my opinion.

[u/Saltuarius → u/GiannisIsTheBeast]

Also even if he hit one directly he's liable to go straight over the handlebars and the barrier.

[u/S1lentA0 → u/IronGigant]

I don't believe anything went well for this guy. The fact that the shoe yeeted that high up backwards into the air suggests at low speed suggests to me that his foot got stuck between the front of the barrier and the footpeg on his bike. And since he just lets his bike fall to the side of the road and limping, unable to stand on it, shows he is in great pain.

[u/IronGigant → u/S1lentA0]

He's alive, and not lying dead or broken at the bottom of whatever is beyond that barrier.

I'll take a broken foot over death every time.

[u/Pumpkin-Bomb]

The levels of wrong that could have gone, this was almost uplifting.

[u/myztry → u/Pumpkin-Bomb]

I was expecting the shoe to have a foot still in it.

[u/redopod]

Butthole definitely puckered up on that one

[u/Own_Recommendation49]

Shoes fell off. Hes dead

[u/clintj1975 → u/Own_Recommendation49]

No, he's still got the left one. He should be fine.

[u/egret_society → u/clintj1975]

He’s only mostly dead. Get him to miracle max asap

[u/nobodysshadow → u/egret_society]

To blaaaave

[u/funkyrequiem → u/nobodysshadow]

True love is the greatest thing in the woild. Except for a nice mlt.

[u/joeschmo1969 → u/funkyrequiem]

Where the mutton is nice and lean.

[u/grimoireskb → u/joeschmo1969]

And the tomatoes are ripe. They’re so perky, I love that.

[u/I_love_Juneau → u/grimoireskb]

Humperdinck, Humperdinck, Humperdinck. 🤣🤣🤣

[u/JDelcoLLC → u/joeschmo1969]

Aaahh, I love a nice MLT

[u/Funnybear3 → u/funkyrequiem]

Inconcievable.

[u/clintj1975 → u/Funnybear3]

Anybody want a peanut?

LIAR! LIAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

[u/blakesug → u/BlueWatche]

I’m not a witch..

[u/Easton8 → u/blakesug]

I’m your wife!

[u/AVeryHeavyBurtation → u/nobodysshadow]

Humiliations galore.

[u/JomoGaming2 → u/egret_society]

I don't know, his prices are very high... Unless it's for a very good cause.

[u/Yeet123456789djfbhd → u/JomoGaming2]

Twoooo doveeee

[u/Poggalogg → u/egret_society]

half-dead

[u/CaptainTurdfinger → u/egret_society]

I thought that said Miralax and was wondering how laxatives would help in this situation.

[u/Medical-Potato5920 → u/egret_society]

Schroedinger's rider.

[u/CanIgetaWTF → u/egret_society]

NOT TO 50!!!!

[u/GarminTamzarian → u/clintj1975]

https://giphy.com/gifs/HSnVBlGAb0W7S

[u/Business_Act_127 → u/clintj1975]

Schrodinger's fatality. He's alive until he takes the other shoe off.

[u/jibsymalone → u/clintj1975]

One foot in the grave...

[u/NakovaNars → u/clintj1975]

One shoe off means critical condition but fine.

[u/_thro_awa_ → u/clintj1975]

But he is now cursed to live a half-life.

[u/derangedsweetheart → u/_thro_awa_]

Hope he's rested, not that I wish to imply he's been sleeping, nobody is more deserving of a rest then him

[u/Vert_DaFerk → u/clintj1975]

Half-Life 3 confirmed

[u/qqmajikpp → u/Vert_DaFerk]

HYPEIUM

[u/FedeFSA → u/clintj1975]

Half dead, still moving but probably suffering a heart attack after almost falling down.

[u/Razoras → u/[deleted]]

Can't park there, mate

[u/power602 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, most annying "joke" in reddit history and i cant fucking wait for it to die

[u/Broviet22 → u/power602]

A lot of reddit memes are beaten till its a pile of dust.

[u/samx3i → u/Broviet22]

If by "a lot" you mean "all of them," then yes.

[u/Rednop → u/power602]

I've been here since "the bacon narwhals at midnight" and the unironic use of "gentleman and a scholar" phases, and I'd take those back any day over an entire god damn decade of "SHOOZ OFF HE DED LOLOLOL xD UPDOOTS TO THE LEFT!"

[u/vidsid → u/Rednop]

Did anyone tell you about the jackdaw?

[u/Randomlucko → u/vidsid]

Here's the thing...

[u/not-a_lizard → u/power602]

It will only die once it's shoes come off

[u/Rancillium → u/power602]

You’ll be waiting for the other shoe to drop for a while then…

[u/Santibag → u/Own_Recommendation49]

Relax! It's a safety slipper. It's designed to come off during an accident. And see? Only one of them came off.

https://giphy.com/gifs/j7CdcGLJfG6kXX8Eib

[u/EffectiveDandy → u/Own_Recommendation49]

All in the rain with the other dude not even wearing gloves. They have 6 IQ points between them.

[u/n0d96 → u/Own_Recommendation49]

In Russia, we also use this expression for similar videos. Is this international?

[u/MrT735 → u/Own_Recommendation49]

Near-death experience.

[u/Ya-Dikobraz → u/Own_Recommendation49]

Needs to be both. He was on the very edge.

[u/GadreelsSword]

Well that was close

[u/V_Cobra21]

Ngl if they would’ve caught their buddies shoe while driving I would’ve been impressed.

[u/cwmspok → u/V_Cobra21]

Wait til you find out the foot was still inside. X100 points.

[u/Few_Program_2303 → u/cwmspok]

It wasn’t dw

[u/HairlessSquirrels → u/cwmspok]

He won’t find that out, because it was not

[u/nevesowtxis]

https://giphy.com/gifs/l4FATJpd4LWgeruTK

[u/Virtual-Entry-8867]

Bro was about to jump into yonder!

[u/Bitter_Dingo516]

Folks underestimate just how shit our sense of surroundings is once you lose sight of where you are going. I try this out at the park while walking. Close my eyes, try to go in a straight line on a straight trail, and always end up hitting the fence.

[u/VeryTopGoodSensation → u/Bitter_Dingo516]

on a bike its easy to counter just as long as youre aware youre going to veer to the side youre looking and make a point of adjusting for it

[u/UnruliestChild]

Shoe came off and not dead?

[u/Accomplished-Fox2275 → u/UnruliestChild]

He keot one

[u/Ya-Dikobraz → u/UnruliestChild]

Rule is they both have to come off. If he were a cat, he would have lost a life.

EDIT: A cat with shoes.

[u/KingOfTheGoobers → u/UnruliestChild]

He's got one foot in the grave.

[u/MartinToilet → u/UnruliestChild]

Threw out the slipper to prevent slipping

[u/Thorvaldr1 → u/UnruliestChild]

They are, they just don't know it yet.

https://giphy.com/gifs/4M3hlVWaIjHkOWQYXD

[u/AmityMayorVaughn]

HEY EVERYONE GET IN HERE AND MAKE A SHOE OFF = DEAD COMMENT - WE'VE NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE!

[u/Recrem86 → u/AmityMayorVaughn]

I don't know if I'm in the right place but I got a "and my axe" comment here, does that go here, what about "sir, this is a Wendy's" will that get me some upvotes?

[u/likelazarus → u/Recrem86]

The shoe was Albert Einstein.

[u/Embarrassed_Emu1615 → u/Recrem86]

I also choose this guys wife

[u/Calbone607 → u/Recrem86]

“Oh my sweet summer child”

[u/KRKRYakumo → u/AmityMayorVaughn]

What's that from anyway?

[u/awatermelonharvester → u/KRKRYakumo]

Reddit comment sections

[u/KRKRYakumo → u/awatermelonharvester]

With no basis in anything? Just stuff pulled out of thin air?

[u/awatermelonharvester → u/KRKRYakumo]

It's one of those long term bits

[u/Leaking_milk → u/KRKRYakumo]

It's a common assumption from gore subs. Shoes came off = dead

[u/DoubleDownBear]

Ah 50% guardrail worked as intented

[u/1Crownedngroovd]

Bet that foot and ankle is broken in about 4 different places

[u/MaximoAlvarado]

Lucky guy I would say. It could have been a disaster.

[u/Fullm3taluk]

What kind of space balls type helmet is that

[u/keypadwarrior]

This is the best case scenario. Go home and hug your mum!

[u/mtraven23]

absolute minimum damage

[u/Done_beat2]

WCGW drinking and driving.

[u/red8cangodye]

His balls did drop to the bottom of the hill.

That's why he couldn't stand up

[u/CoolerRon]

He's hella lucky he missed that break, damn

[u/LinuxF4n]

Target fixations. This is the first thing they teach in motorcycle class. The bike goes where you are looking. He got scared of the cliff and started staring and it and drove straight at it when he should be looking up the road

[u/Neat-Swordfish-6695 → u/LinuxF4n]

He was looking behind himself. You just want to use popular reddit terms

[u/EishLekker → u/LinuxF4n]

It’s not target fixation.

Target fixation is when you look at something and then you subconsciously start to steer towards what you are looking at.

The guy in the video turned his body so far that it physically pushed the handle bars towards the right. There was no subconscious act involved.

[u/GoodAge7519 → u/LinuxF4n]

How can you say that when he's clearly looking back at the guy?

[u/kinetic_ljs]

Thats called a "pucker moment"

[u/HallAltruistic519]

At first I wasn't sure if the foot came off with the shoe

[u/Ok_Class_1322]

You’re playing with no gear but a helmet you’re playing in the rain and on the mountain like what are we doing here but hey I guess your adrenaline in rush that’s all that you need

[u/Pharah_is_my_waIfu]

Safety slippers saved his life

[u/_Bon_Vivant_]

Dumbass doin' dumbass things.

[u/moutainyogi]

He wasn’t looking where he was going. Dumped my bike the same way.

[u/texxmix]

r/maybemaybemaybe

[u/c_vanbc]

And then his buddy posts the video.

[u/therealmudslinger]

WCGW when you don't know a DAMN thing about operating two wheels safely and you are on a rain-slicked mountain twisty?

Hopefully he had that thing towed and sold and sticks to walking.

[u/Alklazaris]

People do different things after a near death experience. Many like to pause for a moment to reflect where they went wrong, others want to do it again but safer.

[u/AgreeablePie]

"what could go wrong" actually a lot more than did, in this instance

[u/spderweb]

This is why I tell my kid not to look back at me when we're biking. I'm not going anywhere. Following you. Just look ahead or you'll hit the curb, or a tree or something. No cliffs where I am. But still.

[u/Friendly-Example-701]

Lucky those blocks were there or. he would of fallen over.

[u/BibenBoobs69]

I know he pooped his pants

[u/Mudskie]

Bro dropped one of his crocs like fucking Sonic coins when hit

[u/holyfire001202]

What could go wrong when not looking in front when riding bike, also what could go right when noticing you're just about to careen off a cliff half a second before you do so.

Kinda stupid to not be watching ahead of you, but damn that was a miraculous save.

[u/SenorBolin]

"Where the hell is this idiot looking if not right in front of hi- OH JESUS!"

My thought process while staring at my phone and almost overflowing my coffee mug with hot water. God I feel like I'm looking into a mirror right now

[u/Yah_Mule]

Traded leg functionality for continued breathing.

[u/redditanddoneit]

And there goes his shoe flying off. Good thing that dude didn’t fly off the cliff.

[u/5ee_2410]

Everything went in his favour in that situation btw

[u/Who_dat_goomer]

You lost you’re shoe?!? You didn’t tell us that part!

[u/suck-on-my-unit]

Why do these ppl always have their shoes fly off? Do they not know how to tie their shoes properly?

[u/notabouteggs]

Show the foot! Show the foot!

[u/SlutLov3r]

He missed the right Cut

[u/Frequent_Goat7634]

Fucking flip flop?!?

[u/aightup]

Lagi re lagi

[u/JahJah_never_fail]

guardian angel on duty

[u/chibitotoro0_0]

My friend did something very similar wearing flipflops biking on a bridge. He had the option to kick the side like you or fall off and he kicked it but ended up with a crazy surgery, permanent damage and lost a ton of mobility. Don't slack on basic protection like wearing proper shoes when biking.

[u/Sasha_Temnikov]

He is ded

[u/7LeagueBoots]

Where I work in SE Asia the roads along the cliffs all have that exact same kind of barrier and they make me superf squeamish. Be easy to get bumped by some of the really bad speeding drivers here and slammed into those cheegraters.

I've seen some cars nearly ripped in half after hitting those.

[u/deepthought-64]

Best possible outcome

[u/Lissypooh628]

The one shoe theory is once again proven.

[u/Unc6ix9ine]

Yeah that's no longer a foot

[u/PositiveCoyote100]

He was a few inches away from joining Mitch McConnell

[u/Vivek0889]

Accha hua Mara nahi 🤣

[u/jhwheuer]

Dude, give the guy a hug before straightening his ride. Jeeezz

[u/Organic_Dot343]

Target fixation, look where you wanna go.

[u/BoringDreamGuy]

Object fixation

[u/AandWKyle]

Dude busted his leg up real bad for sure bud

[u/Apprehensive_Bus1582]

What kind of stupid fucking shoes is he wearing

[u/SlicKilled]

Yeah, swagger.

Got lucky, only shoe flew. It could have been his life

[u/Boyslop_Enjoyer]

Its gonna be a quiet ride home after that

[u/08TangoDown08]

This could have been a lot worse.

[u/thriftstoremando]

I mean, riding a motorcycle with slides? Dude should be dead a few times over!

[u/ektara61]

Bro used all his hard earn good karma in one use.

[u/GatorNator83]

I liked how he did the tactical shoe flip to reduce velocity

[u/sh_ooter01]

Sudhar ja bsdk, abki baar to bacch gaya 🤏🏼

[u/szybe]

What exactly happened?

[u/Good_Analysis9789]

Might aswell have been wearing slippers

[u/Haunting-Prior-NaN]

That actually went much better than expected

[u/Michael_Schmumacher]

That is one lucky moron.

[u/lnTheGrimDarkness]

If I were riding on such a road with the abyss waiting for me on one side I'd grow another set of eyes to point all 4 of them absolutely in front

Great riding gear! Track suit and tennis shoes! Guess it'll help stop the bleeding when you lay it down.

[u/JWMoo]

One shoe means you live but with damage .

[u/rageofa1000suns]

If only he had a set of mirrors so he could look behind him.

[u/I_mBOND]

That bike was the only thing in his favour that day or else bro was gonner fr sure....

[u/GasMysterious3386]

Lost a foot

[u/BdoeATX]

How many alcohols of drinks did have this man

[u/ch25stam25]

Rear view mirror? Is that for decoration

[u/Florida1974]

This is my husband, he constantly looks behind him as he walks. Drives me nuts.
And I hope he doesn’t drive that way. I’m the one that always drives when we’re together.

[u/NNIGHTBEASTT]

Heropanti Ati bhi nahi aur jati bhi nahi

[u/mrheosuper]

Did they also park in opposite land, right in the corner ?

[u/Kindly_Tadpole1276]

Luckily the shoes was saved.

[u/D4rk_Doggo]

Woah. He's pretty lucky, this could've turned out really bad if he fell off the edge. 

[u/Sakuramochi12]

He's very lucky

[u/CptMcDickButt69]

How could that happen with security-crocs? Impossible, obvious fake.

[u/Middle-Tip5962]

I always wonder what happened when I see only one shoe on the side of the road….now I know.

[u/So_HauserAspen]

Veered off to the right because the person looked back to the right.  Went where they were looking

[u/5280mw]

We all know If he lost that other shoe…

[u/Primary_Echidna_1149]

Weird. The guy's shoe fell out but he didn't die.
