The basic concept seemed fine, but he should have spent just a little more money and got a safety net that covered the last 50 feet!

What was he thinking? Was he going to just grab onto the near vertical net like spider man?

Wow, did he survive? When I first saw that ramp I thought, somebody's got some huge gonads if they're going to hit that. After the clip was over, I realized he wasn't brave, just stupid. :| Whoever planned that stunt was only concerned with keeping the bike from going into the stands. :think:

The concept is lost on me. I wonder what he was trying to accomplish? Still, it is more funny than anything else. Circus type stunts are good for a laugh.

A badly planned stunt, nothing to save the guy from serious injury - serious lack of protective gear.

I like stunts, sadly, not stupid stunts like this.

Saw a trapeze artist die once when he fell about 7 stories with no net - stupid people !

Sort of, I don't feel sad for him, but I do feel very bad for the family members and loved ones left behind who DIDN'T make completely idiotic decisions. Certainly not funny though.

It was great to see how rapidly the paramedics arrived...nowhere to be found. :silly:

When did this ignorant stunt occur, and who was he?

I replayed that thing about 5x because I couldn't believe what I was seeing! :( :(  There's just way too many extreme athletes getting TV coverage, and too many young wannabe stunt guys are gonna get killed trying to go beyond the last great stunt. :|

If memory serves; that clip has been around for 10 or 12 years. There is another one filmed in France (?) or somewhere where the idiot has a similar ramp and was to jump over a bridge. He missed the landing ramp. Very similar.
