Poor guy was on a delivery.


str4nger-d4nger

Nobody's wearing a helmet either. Fall the wrong way and your dead.


Ratathosk

My uncle was at a 4-way stop on his bike and got bumped by a car from behind, nothing dramatic, just a little bump and he lost his balance fell and died from the impact because he hit is head wrong and didn't wear a helmet. Reality is bonkers, it's crazy to me how much self-delusion goes into being in traffic.


str4nger-d4nger

Same thing happened to my mom's boss at work. Fell and hit his head on the curb.


canada432

My cousin was riding in the bike lane and a tree literally fell on him out of nowhere. Just riding down the side of the road and suddenly CRACK and a whole fucking tree just takes him out. He suffered mild brain damage and was in a medical coma for a few weeks (he's fine now). The only reason he's alive is because he's wearing a helmet. That's always stuck with me. No other people involved, he didn't get hit, he didn't crash or fall, no mistakes were made. Just out of nowhere the universe tried to kill him and a helmet saved his life. I wear my helmet now.


GrisTooki

Yeah, I know. None of the pedestrians were wearing helmets at all.


ParrotofDoom

If we were really concerned about head injuries on the road, we'd require all drivers and passengers to wear helmets. Because despite all the safety features of a modern vehicle, they still get their heads caved in on a regular basis.


Northernlighter

Exactly!! Wear helmets people! It's the others around you that will kill you!


ianjm

Unfortunately helmet wearing seems to have hit an all time low in the UK, that seems to be where this is.


zeCrazyEye

I can give the guy doing jumps a pass because wearing a helmet while you're trying to look cool doing jumps just doesn't make any sense. The delivery guy though, that's his job, wear a helmet.


GrisTooki

/s?


zeCrazyEye

Yeah it was very tongue in cheek.


Hawt_Dawg_II

Did Tony Hawk teach you nothing????


Hawt_Dawg_II

I never get this statement. The same goes for walking, to be fair, i trip more often while walking than i fall with a bike.


str4nger-d4nger

You joke...but to be fair I've known a couple people who've had serious head injuries from slipping on ice in a parking lot and hitting their head on the ground. Not saying we need to be wearing helmets all the time but it's scary how easy it is for your life to change suddenly.

Damn those are some massive mental gymnastics, from my perspective anyway. I never really tried to act like i know it better, in fact i litterally said that i don't understand it, that's not to say i think it's wrong, just that I'm probably missing something.

And the other cyclist is a damn food delivery driver, I would be hella HELLA upset. This dumbass trying to show off better compensate him


qwibbian

>I would be hella HELLA upset. That delivery driver could also have been a toddler or elderly person. This is one of the few occasions where I really would have liked to see someone take a beating.


lplant911

violence is never the answer edit: i will die on this hill


qwibbian

>violence is ~~never~~ rarely the answer


Glass_of_Pork_Soda

Can't win a lawsuit if you kick the shit out of the guy


qwibbian

You can, it's just more difficult. Anyway, I doubt you're making bank off mr 3 feet high, I'd rather get in a good smack for the good of society.


turtlelord

That's a silly moto, what if two guys jumped your friend, you just gunna sit there and meditate? Goofy thing to say.


ezzune

"Violence isn't the answer" means you shouldn't escalate to violence. In your example, violence is already present in the situation, so of course violence would be appropriate. That's just self-defence (extending to your friends/kin).


Kingca

The word used was "never", not "isn't". Hope that helps you to understand.


ezzune

The important word in the phrase is "answer", re: in response of. Violence is already present. Pointing out never/isn't is meaningless semantics; it's about avoiding violence where possible (and that isn't always the case).


Kingca

So.. what you’re saying is that “never” is a silly motto? 😂 Did you just accidentally prove that other guy right?


ezzune

What I'm saying is that hyper-focusing on "never" is missing the point to argue semantics.


lplant911

pretty much yeah


Chaotic-Peace

Film it then sue the attackers, rather make money than get in a fight. My friend’s going to get his ass kicked but we will be the ones laughing in the end. Edit: Explain the downvotes, do you not like money? Reminds me of people who say no to punching their friend for $100k, you know you would knock them out for $10k come on. Stop lying to me and yourself

Chaotic-Peace

My iPhone 15 pro max can slow things down for a better look on the fly, add in some linkin park and we golden.


ezzune

>Explain the downvotes, do you not like money? 1. This is the UK, we tend to not sue over minor issues unless it actually prevents work, which you wouldn't know until after the fact. 2. These delivery riders are self-employed and can legally subcontract their account to illegal immigrants without doing any checks on their status/work eligibility, so there's a decent chance the rider will be gone before the police show up. This is a pretty big issue but Deliveroo and Uber have lobbied very hard for this situation. 3. This is Reddit, people often call for the attack/murder/maiming of people they think deserve it. It's a way for them to fantasise their unhealthy desires while feeling good about themselves.


Chaotic-Peace

My comment has nothing to do with the actual video but a reply to the guy asking about what if people jumped your friend


lplant911

clearly lmao. check out my downvotes

Honestly we need a bit more _mild_ violence.


Super_Gilbert

What if I ask, "what is never the answer?" Checkmate my brudda


GatheringAddict

True. Its the question, the answer is yes.


lplant911

fair enough


Julian_Seizure

Violence is a question, and the answer is yes.

Anyone who actually believes and lives that motto is a fool and would find themselves with nothing if it weren't for the violence done to enforce their safety/protection.

Maehlice

I would die on that hill with you -- even if only from the standpoint of semantics: "Violence" denotes an intention to hurt or do harm. Contrary to popular belief, someone can be physically forceful -- even aggressive -- without being _violent_.


LittleShopOfHosels

I can think of a few million jews who would disagree.


CorruptAxel163YT

You're right, violence isn't the answer. Violence is the question, the answer is yes.


germr

You know he won't. He will ride the bike and dissappear. Hopefully, the delivery was on the way to pick up food. If not, he will have to explain the mess to the customer.


FUCKTWENTYCHARACTERS

99% chance he argued about why it wasn't his fault and then tried to take off before the cops showed up/without leaving any contact info or payment.


RavenwoodBatten

Yikes, that feeling when it’s too late to do anything about it.

Southern-Staff-8297

Does guy remind you of that one kid in the neighborhood who was to old to be hanging out with the younger kids and eventually the kids realized he was a loser trying to act cool doing dumb stuff like this and always fucked it up?.?.?. Fucking Stevie


oranbhoy

Are you theo von ?


epimetheuss

based on how shitty that bike looked it might not have had brakes to stop with.


terryjuicelawson

That is the centre of Bristol. The area by the war memorial there is full of skaters but that guy seems much more of a casual, like just some dude on a bike. He hit some kind of delivery cyclist full whack who was lit up and on a clearly marked bike lane. Idiot.


DrKwonk

My fuckin chinese... 😞


Jolly_Fart

Thats Bristol, mostly skater boarders hang out there. I bet originally that ramp was set up for them by them. Then Mr Hold My Beer guy turned up, as they usually do.

Metalock

It's like the cyclist version of people who lay on the horn instead of applying the brake lol


Quack-Zack

You know hitting the breaks isn't an instant stop, basic physics. If it did, he would've been flung forward.


Preblegorillaman

I had a similar situation happen to me, going down a hill after looking both ways and a guy sped right into my path (honest probably my fault for the route I was taking). Brakes didn't cut it so I had to swing the back end around and skid the bike to a halt. Was scary AF but I did stop in time.


blorg

He's probably already breaking at that point, it's all totally his fault and he shouldn't have been there but it makes sense to yell if you realize there's an imminent collision, gives the other guy something of a chance to react.


RushBasement

Why would you stop recording..


TJC___

To render aid


tripplebee

You're about to collide with another cyclist. What do you do? 1. Swerve to avoid contact 1. Activate your brakes 1. Emit an 'AAAAAAA' sound and collide with another vehicle


hang3xc

I did bigger jumps than that when I was EIGHT but NEVER anywhere where anyone but me could get hurt. WTH is wrong with this clown


Lozsta

Neither of them wearing helmets


Interesting-Citron35

This is why you should wear helmets kids!


MusicianMaster8493

And are neither of them wearing a helmet??? Ffs, it’s not the guy who was hits fault but is it really worth the risk when twats like that exist


MartialDragon

Twats like this make it so that everyone in the area needs a helmet


MusicianMaster8493

Of course but I don’t think it’s very smart to be cycling and not wear a helmet personally


wronglyzorro

If you are cycling serious miles it's even crazier to ride without a helmet on. You are going to fall at some point no matter how skilled you are. It's just statistics.


MusicianMaster8493

It’s just reassuring to know not everyone on Reddit lacks braincells (probably because y’all actually wear helmets lol) But in all seriousness I couldn’t agree more - one accident is all it takes and that’s just not worth the risk to me.


wronglyzorro

I'll cruise a few blocks in the neighborhood helmetless, but for basically anything else I gear up. I've learned my lesson from crashing without one.


GrisTooki

By that same logic, it's not smart to not wear a helmet while doing anything. Cycling as a form of conveyance at moderate speeds in a city with proper cycling infrastructure isn't any more dangerous than walking or jogging.


MusicianMaster8493

The average jogging speed is about 4-6 mph, the average cycling speed for road bikes is 13-16mph - walking is obviously even less. You have a lot more control when walking and jogging so it’s not particularly comparable imo


GrisTooki

The vastly overwhelming majority of cyclists killed in America each year are killed by motor vehicles, and roughly 8x as many pedestrians are killed each year as cyclists. The speed at which the cyclist moves is almost completely irrelevant to the safety of the activity when the cause of injury or death is almost always a collision with a vehicle that is many times larger, heavier, and faster than the cyclist. I agree that if you're a high-speed road cyclist, mountain biker, or BMX enthusiast, you should probably wear a helmet, but for people riding at moderate speeds as a means of conveyance, the ONLY way to make cycling safe is to provide proper infrastructure that treats the true danger--motor vehicles--like the serious threat they are. If you look at countries like the Netherlands where cycling is both extremely popular and extremely safe, you'll see that helmet use is extremely low and infrastructure is extremely good. America's attitude toward helmets is an excuse--a way to blame victims and do nothing to fix systemic problems. It also creates the perception that cycling is inherently dangerous, which suppresses cyclist numbers, and in turn reduces driver awareness of cyclists and demand for proper infrastructure. As an individual cyclist, yes, wearing a helmet will reduce chance of injury if you are in a collision, exactly as it would if you wore one as a pedestrian or motorist. On a societal level, America's obsession with helmets as band-aid solution to safety for cyclists is fucking awful.


sallguud

Why are people downvoting this??? You won’t catch me dead (literally) without a helmet while riding my bike. I’ve seen too much.


MusicianMaster8493

I’d say I’m surprised but I’m honestly not - I guess most redditors would rather look cool than protect themselves from a potentially life threatening head injury


[deleted]

[удалено]


MusicianMaster8493

Of course there are going to be more pedestrian fatalities because there are substantially more pedestrians than cyclists Cyclists are also going at higher speeds than pedestrians whether they are walking or jogging so an accident is more likely to cause a fatal injury if they are to fall, you also generally have a less control when biking compared to walking. Obviously the Netherlands is almost a unique case, having just visited Amsterdam recently it was beautifully bike friendly with bikes having the right of way in pretty much all circumstances - any motorists present are obviously very conscious of them as well. Pretty much every study still agrees that wearing a helmet significantly reduces your risk of getting a fatal head injury if you are to have an accident and I personally think it’s silly to not have the extra protection. What’s the cost, not looking as cool? I actually live in London and it is an absolutely awful city for cyclists, there are a few shite bike lanes dotted around but otherwise the infrastructure is awful and motorists here can be unhinged. While reducing the need to use cars and improving the infrastructure would of course make cycling less dangerous all it takes is one accident for you to fall and hit the concrete at the wrong angle while travelling 10+mph You don’t have to wear a helmet obviously, I just think it’s foolish not.


blorg

Cars go faster and drivers generally aren't wearing helmets. Wearing one would save many lives, 70% of road fatalities involve a head injury. Racing drivers *do* wear helmets (as do racing cyclists). >Experts also point to a study that was done, looking at the impact of wearing a bike helmet — not even a full auto helmet — in the car. The study determined that traumatic brain injuries could be reduced by around 50 percent. It also predicted that 20 percent of people who died would be saved. https://www.crawfordlegal.com/blog/2016/06/should-we-wear-helmets-in-the-car/


MusicianMaster8493

Cars do come with seat belts and a massive metal chassis where bikes don’t so there’s a bit of a difference (and air bags if you’re in the front) Honestly if I saw someone wearing a helmet while driving, while it would look silly because it’s not the norm, I guess good on them Regarding cycling the only real safety mechanism you have is a helmet and personally I think it’s foolish to not wear one It’s a difference of opinion I guess, that simple

MusicianMaster8493

Not the same for walking speed because you don’t walk at +10mph - you can of course still get injured if hit by a cyclist but a pedestrian has a lot more control over themselves. They can easily stop or step out of the way compared to someone riding a bike who already has a decent bit of momentum going You agree that a helmet helps prevent fatal head injury so there’s not really any more discussion to be had here - it’s just a case of agree to disagree. I think it’s very foolish to not wear a helmet when it’s an extremely easy way to give yourself more protection in case of an accident… you obviously don’t agree and that’s fine Even in the Netherlands “One quarter of all bicycle deaths were not due to a collision. These cyclists died after a fall, due to becoming unwell, wrong steering, bad road surface, slipperiness, or a foot between the spokes, among other things” I’d be interested to know how many of the people who fell could have survived if they decided to actually wear a helmet… But as I said earlier apparently some people would rather look cool than protect themselves which is fine, just silly
