Scooter Miracle Escape

Close Call

Imagine cruising on your scooter when out of nowhere, a sedan barrels towards you. It’s the kind of nightmare scenario any rider would dread. Recently, a scooter rider experienced just that, surviving a shocking accident in Asia. Thanks to what can only be described as miraculous timing and perhaps some divine intervention, he lived to tell the tale.

The Crash

Captured by security cameras, the incident happened as the sedan driver made a right turn toward a parking area. A white scooter suddenly appeared and just like that, it collided with the front of the silver sedan. The moment of impact shot the rider onto the car’s hood, but things took another turn when the driver didn’t immediately brake. The rider fell in front, and the car ran over him, rolling over his head. Astonishingly, he was without a helmet, wearing just a humble hoodie.

Why He Survived

When faced with situations like this, the body can do remarkable things. Although the car’s rear wheel drove right over his head, the man did the unthinkable — he brushed off the fall and actually walked away. There’s talk that the sedan clipping four bollards helped save him, possibly lifting the car just enough to lessen the blow.

Was It Luck?

Though he survived, it’s not a stretch to assume he might have sustained internal injuries. The adrenaline rush in such scares can make even serious injuries seem less painful on the spot. Bit of good luck, perhaps, but it’s crucial that he got checked out at a hospital afterward, to ensure no internal trauma went unnoticed.

Chilling Thoughts

An event like this is a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of riding scooters. It also highlights the importance of safety gear like helmets. While this man had a lucky escape, his story could have ended far differently. Riders should always prioritize safety over comfort. Scooters offer liberation and fun, but they come with their share of hazards. Keep it in mind the next time anyone hops onto two wheels.
