What Happens in the Video
The video, titled “Cyclist Lands on His Feet After Being Hit by Car,” begins by showing “trouble looming for a cyclist”. As a car executes a turn in Indianapolis, it collides with the cyclist.
The impact is severe: the cyclist “goes flying,” “shatters the windshield,” and is “thrown off”. However, in a truly extraordinary turn of events, the cyclist “lands on his feet like a Hollywood stunt man”.
Initially, the car appears to keep going, prompting the cyclist, identified as Jacob Morales, to exclaim, “Are you kidding me right now?”. The driver does eventually stop “further down the street in Indianapolis,” with the car door open. Morales then runs back, attempting to “grab his bike”.
Despite his efforts, his bike was “out of commission,” and Morales states that “the driver then proceeded to take off”. Morales himself sustained “cuts to his hand and arm” when he hit the windshield. Reflecting on the incident, Morales described the experience as “pure Terror” in the moment and feels “really lucky to be alive”.
