Nasty "jackass" type crash.

[Simon Mason]

From the USA comes this clip of a cyclist attempting a stunt while his buddy
films it.

Caution: understandably bad language accompanies the clip and there are some
dodgy website links around it ;-)

As a matter of interest, did any of the dodgy links with the photos have
locations under them? If so, were they from around your area?

Yes, I'm just off out to investigate a few of the more interesting ones now

Is your area somewhere in the south east of Scotland?

No. Chesham, Bucks, England.

I have beautiful women all around me, just a click away.

No, I think the site looks at your ISP details and then tailors the adverts
to your individual location. I suppose it's the same principle that occurs
if you have a website of your own. You can see which parts of the world are
hitting your site.

Indeed - but my supply seems to have dried up since I got my new spam filter
installed ;-)

Ipswich for the ones I got, which isn't _very_ far away, so the location
detection works reasonably.

If I wasn't
i) happily married
ii) probably not what they are looking for
iii) cynical enough to suspect the photos aren't all really them
I might investigate further myself.

As usual, WMP downloaded a codec then gave me audio-only. Worthless
pile of cr*p.

Somehow in this context installing a spam filter sounds dirty.

It does. An entertaining side effect of my internet connection is that
for some reason they all believe me to live in or near Ipswich. Only a
few hundred miles out!

You'll see the same photods wherever you go.

Here's a short description.

Young lad on top of narrow 3 ' high wall on bicycle.

Other (lad) filming says that lad on wall will ride along top of wall
then at end of wall jump over metal fence 2' 6" high and 4' away from
end of wall.

Lad on wall cycles slowly, filming lad shouts faster, faster.

At end of wall, lad on bicycle pulls up handlebars and bike gets
airborne. Front wheel sails nicely over fence, back wheel catches top
of fence, but goes over. Bike now heading vertically down. Airborne
lad makes touchdown on pavement face first.

Lots of swearing from filming lad.

Close up of rearranged face and bloodstained paving slabs.

Filming lad is very sweet in his reassurance to injured party saying,
"At least I got all that on film, isn't that cool." Injured party
looks particularly uninterested about the film.

So, if he wasn't wearing a helmet why did he not die? If he was
wearing one did it save his life?

As impressive as that is, I think I have one to beat it:

Not as gory, but far more spectacular.

And how would it have saved his face (yes I know there are h*lm*ts with
face guards but they are few and far between).

"Minor details" like that have never stopped the likes of BSHIT from
claiming magic properties for helmets.

He wasn't, yet remarkably his legs appeared uninjured. A caption at the
end of the film states that he's now cycling again, but wears a helmet.
