A viral video captured on a helmet camera shows a motorcyclist being flung from his bike after a collision with a car. Instead of showing anger, the biker startles viewers by calmly standing up and giving the driver a thumbs-up to signal he is fine.
A man who was flung from his motorbike following a violent accident with a car startled watchers online when he calmly stood up and gestured that he was fine, as recorded in a now-viral video. RyukD400, an Instagram user, provided the film from what looked to be a helmet-mounted camera, which captured the occurrence in real time.
In the footage, the biker is seen going along a road when a car ahead abruptly switches lanes, leaving him with little time to respond. Within seconds, his motorbike struck with the car, throwing him off. The biker was observed sliding down the asphalt and lying still for a few moments, seemed to understand what had happened. Following a lengthy pause, he cautiously rose to his feet, seeming startled but aware.
What he did next drew the greatest attention from the watchers. Instead of responding angrily or challenging the driver, the motorcyclist lifted his hand and gave the motorist a thumbs up, indicating that he was fine following the incident. He was then seen coming towards the driver to check on them, which brought the video to a close.
He also posted a different point of view of the collision as well.
