    WOW that was wildly unfortunate! What would you have done differently if you were in his place? Just a question to get the thread going

    First of all I would keep both hands on the bars, second when the people on the side said……uummm not! I would turn around! Most people misjudge water, its depth and strength…. Right up to the point that it is to late…..

    That dude is lucky to be alive! After he lost the bike he got pulled under. We have flash floods frequently here in AZ and we have a "stupid motorist" law. If you do stupid stuff like that and get trapped, you pay the bill for your rescue.

    I would not have attempted that stunt. Well maybe in Bigfoot.

    Well, there's a long pause there where you can tell he's thinking of his next move. His next move should've been to turn around.

    You can tell he was a bit scared when he gets to his feet and throws his gloves down. It looks like he looks around like, "Did anyone just SEE THAT!?!"

    He's really pretty lucky: could've gotten stuck under the tree limbs or the BARBED WIRE. Yikes!
