I… uh… ouch… guh…

WTF is happening there? Looks like torture or abduction. It's more disturbing than funny, IMHO and I'm usually not sensitive about these things. Yikes.

They must be! I kept thinking, "why doesn't she just LET GO!?" :fp:

She smacked into the taxi too! Ouchies!

It does look like she has a helmet on though... maybe she fell off but grabbed the rack and he didn't notice? Idk. That's super weird.

Should have been easy to track the guy down... just follow the loooooong trail of skin. :shock:

Yeah!!! Although, amazingly, it doesn't LOOK like she's turning into hamburger meat. Her poor shoulders are going to be pulled out of joint or something, though! They look like they are going at MOST 10mph, I think that's how she's doing such a spectacular job of holding on. Makes me wonder even more how he didn't hear.

This is a good case AGAINST wearing speakers in your helm XD

The total lack of response on the part of the surrounding drivers/riders -- forget about helping, they don't even seem surprised -- makes me think it was staged.

i had the same thought upon repeat viewing. like its a clip from a movie? but if so, what?

i don't think the "girl" is a dummy or fake, however. she just seems to move around as a real life person would. a dummy of some sort would flop around wildly or look too stiff

so if a stunt its a daring one in that apparent skirt

Then she must have some serious protection on to have skin left, even if it is all staged. It is difficult to tell given the quality of the video.
