This video was posted to Reddit this week and it’s pretty damn amazing for a couple of reasons. First of all, it features an absolutely brutal head-over-heels bicycle accident that comes pretty much out of nowhere. Seriously, if you blink at the wrong time you might miss it.
Secondly, it also shows an incredible recovery from one of the riders immediately following the accident. The rider directly behind the poor dude who goes down hard manages to swerve out of the way to avoid the wreckage and stay on his bike, despite having to go a little off-course in the process. His reaction time is absolutely amazing and saves him from some serious carnage in the wake of the initial accident.
Take another look in slow-motion:
