The biker’s fall ended with him right under the rear wheels of the moving bus. His head was seemingly squeezed under the heavyweight vehicle but the helmet proved to be the priceless accessory that saved his life. The man was dragged on the tarmac for a few meters before the driver of the bus hit the brakes and stopped the vehicle.
A few seconds later and while most of the bystanders were anticipating a tragedy, the man started moving his hands and head, realizing how lucky he was to be alive after this shocking experience. Some people approached him and helped him stand up while lifting his bike up and examining the damaged helmet. Interestingly, another biker who was not wearing a helmet passed by and witnessed the aftermath. Maybe this incident will change peoples’ minds and save more bikers’ lives in the process.
