This guy was so lucky…

A cyclist in England had one of the most miraculous escapes from a crash that we’ve ever seen in our lives.The man posted a video to his YouTube channel last month which shows him cycling down a busy road in Romford when all of a sudden, a car pulled out in front of him.

The rider had no option but to crash straight into the car which saw him thrown into the air and his bike smash into two piece due to the collision. The amazing thing about it is that the cyclist somehow managed to land on his feet, a perfect landing on both feet.

If it was gymnastics, he’d get a 10. It’s just incredible…

The guy explain what happened after the crash on his YouTube clip:

“After a very uncomfortable trip to the hospital in a neck brace and spinal board and various x-rays I escaped with just bruising. So I consider myself lucky.

“At the time the driver was apologetic and was informed by the police that I was recording my ride and seemed to admit fault. But when it came to my insurance claim against her she disputed it. Safe to say the video has saved me a lot of hassle and 3 weeks later the cheque has already arrived from the insurance company.

“My 4 week old Giant bike was written off but thanks to the guys at Cycle Store they put me one of the two they had left aside and I’m looking forward to getting back out there.”
