Fight or flight - picked the correct option there.
Well hold on, let’s see the fight option before we draw any comclusions
You don’t get to choose unfortunately, you’re at the mercy of lizard brain at that point
Pants coloring event.
I’m pretty sure the car driver came out the worst out of anyone in that one.
The pedestrian’s shorts beg to differ.
Sick flip, dude
Can’t believe Musk spent billions just to replicate it
Never run straight away. Whether it’s a tumbling car, an avalanche, a falling tree or some other inexorable apocalypse bearing down on you, it’s likely moving far faster than you can run.
If you have caught enough of a glimpse of what’s about to paste ya, run at a right angle to its direction of travel. Context also matters: for river flooding, find the shortest path to the highest possible point uphill. For anything above you on a slope, go across the slope, ideally in the direction it isn’t crossing the slope.
For this dude, the better option would have been to duck behind the car in the bottom right foreground.
Absolutely solid advice.
Stop. Evaluate. Act.
It seems counterintuitive to momentarily pause but it can be the difference between a badness happening to you and a close call.
Jfc glad you’re alright man
Honk if you’re an idiot
Clearly it was the fault of the transfem cyclist, just out of shot. They cause roads like this to become so dangerous
Trying to overtake a vehicle and not leaving clearance is not an accident. It is a demonstration of your incompetence.
