It reminds me of some of the drivers here. They are on another planet mentally most of the time.

Oh My God!

Wham Bam! Smack!
When I was young on my peddler @ speed of 10mph, I rode smack into the rear of a parked car. Dead center. I flipped off, hit the car then pavement. Ouch! Bad day. As I got older, I did worse. Why? For fun. Just dumb chances I took and paid for (ahem, an ongoing payment)
I can imagine how this guy felt

When I was a young kid (born risk taker), I lived in Melbourne, Australia. They run trams there, and I owned a fixed wheel bicycle, no brakes. For fun, my mates and myself would hold on to the back of the tram and get towed along between the tracks.

Now I rant and rave about dumb things kids and adults do.

I'm living proof that that you do get a little smarter as you get older, but not a whole lot, I still ride a scoot

I can recall doing dumb things when I was young, but we always had a deep respect for trains. They kill, and there are very few who live to discuss their absence of common sense if they get in the way of one.

From the looks of the end of the video, I am not sure he felt much. I suspect it was fatal.

I did that and can still remember the pain.

The one good thing is that remembered pain is nowhere near as bad as actual pain.

That is good?? If you forget how much pain you were in after you did something stupid, what are the chances that you will do the same stupid thing again? Let's ask Evil Knievel. Oh, wait. He's dead.
