Sorry, but that is almost funny!!! Was that a BMW rider ? Forgot his paddle.... WOW!!

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 :icon_wink:

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…..

:shock: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!
