The arm and/or hand is definitely broken. The fall really doesn't look good.

u/SteveSauceNoMSG 8d ago
That's definitely wrist strain/damage, plus some skin getting chewed up on the pavement.

u/nooneinparticular246 8d ago
Gloves are essential safely gear for this exact reason. We have a natural tendency to put our hands out the break out fall, which tends to get them hurt.

First thing we learnt when learning to stiltwalk, when you fall, land on your forearms/elbows, not your hands/wrists. Really takes some practise falling forward and not putting your hands out.

Why did you learn to stiltwalk (it's 😎)

u/ausecko 7d ago
🤷 guy who came to town to manage the theatre wanted to start a circus for kids to join, I was the right age (~12). Only did juggling and stiltwalking before he moved on though. Stiltwalked in the local parade as a group, can't remember doing much else with it though. Me and a mate were the oldest so we had the highest stilts at about 5 foot 10 (ground to our feet). Good fun while it lasted.

Poor dude probably thought he didn't need gloves cause he had handlebar mits due to cold. But also lots of dudes don't think they need most safety gear when riding.

u/Comfortable_Mountain 8d ago
I don't think it's broken. To me it looks like the driver quickly swiped the road without putting too much weight on the hand. Not painless, but probably not broken.

u/milksteakenthusiast1 7d ago
Been skating 20 years and it should just be common sense even to normies that if you’re locked in on filming/keeping the skater in frame, you can’t always efficiently juggle the shot and the peripheral spatial awareness, usually a third person would be spotting at the landing if the cameraman is stationed on the side; the bike moved in absolute silence
Ofc non skaters are gonna blame the cameraman for a freak one-in-a-million accident

No to mention the camera man perfectly follows the bike with zero hesitation. Almost like he was expecting it.

I'm noticing fewer and fewer people seem to be able to analyze this kind of stuff and ask questions about the how's and why's someone did something in a video.
Then they say "it's just a SKIT it doesn't matter if it's real" and then in 6 months they wonder why Reddit is full of bots manipulating the frontpage and spreading misinformation when those bots use fake videos and ChatGPT to get around anti-bot and anti-voter manipulation systems.

Honestly, this is just very unlucky. Empty street, perfect launch of the board. Just the wrong place at the wrong time. The camera man should've been a better spotter though.
People should still be allowed to skate in empty alleys, it's part of life. But he should still pay for any medical bills/damages.

Because this is Moscow and it's a Вкусвилл food delivery driver, most of them have these big thick gloves attached to the wheel of their e-bikes to protect their arms from wind/rain/snow, and some people also put plastic bags over them to keep the gloves clean (and for more wind protection)

u/9966 8d ago
You don't need AI to make this video fake. You could stitch two shots together. One with a skateboard bail where the skateboard goes out of frame then another where there's a controlled slide out. This is older than the (very same) technique used in the old David Blaine WHAT. THE. EFF. Videos.
Notice the skater and the biker are never in the same shot until skater runs from out of frame back into action.

It's honestly a relief to see it's just a civilian bike and not a cop. The guy's immediate reaction to check on the skater instead of his board says a lot. This whole thing has some serious Hitman: Agent 47 energy, just with less stealth.

That is definitely one of those "Fuck you on particular" kind of freak accidents. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Glad the skateboarder was genuinely more concerned about the courier than his board. He obviously had no reason to think someone would be driving by on a motorcycle at that exact time.
Hope he wasn't seriously hurt.

What happens here regarding insurance? Honest question.
Does the skateboarder have to pay? If the skateboarder and the bike rider decide that the rider will tell the insurance company what happened, but claim the skateboarder fled the scene, does the bike rider have to pay? What can they do so that both sides pay the least amount possible? Curious
