saw this on the news the other day.
clipped the pole with those huge hard bags.
lucky the bike landed on the dock.

And even worse the only reason he was probably riding along the ridge there was because someone was filming him.......BRILLIANT!!!  

Can anyone tell me why anyone would ride into such a tight, I mean like, pedestrian type environment, space on a bike with bags? Its not a scooter, its a full sized bike, which he would know now if they had made that idiot hoist it back up, alone.
I doubt that rude dude even asked the captains permission to come aboard..

I have no sympathy for him. I feel for that poor bike & I hope the boat escaped unharmed.
I would be interested to know what damage the bike suffered from a fall like that.

Notice how quick the guy lets go of the hand grips and manages to get separated from the bike with his legs under him before he lands in the boat.  I wonder if that was pure reflex, maybe luck, or did he look down and figure out how he wanted to land.  

Very true.  Dirt bike riding experience will save your butt.  Also proven in the Hurt Report...
