    Not sure where or when or WTF caused it but I'm amazed the rider wasn't a garbage bag job

    Jeez. There's an accident where even a small amount of gear would've made a big difference. But also, how did he even manage that? The first frame of the video the bike's already 4 feet in the air and he's on the ground!

    My guess is a failed attempt at a stoppie. Must have been wind shear...no gear means he is a pro, so....

    Are we sure he was "lucky" and survived? Hard for me to see on my phone but I didn't see him moving after the crash and it looked like his face was gone in the last pic. There is no description or comments on the vid at YT saying one way or the other. Hard to feel sorry for him though if he was attempting a high speed stoppie with no helmet as suggested above by Derstuka.

    Answering my own and others' questions: According to this vid below the guy did survive. He was in Sri Lanka and hit a tire in a pit lane at "200 plus" - I assume that's kph - which would explain why his bike went airborne.
