thank goodness for protective gear!
what gets me is how strange how he gets off the bike....like he just stands up and steps off.  WTH!?

Looks like his foot got pushed off..wonder how far the bike went?  I think he may have been doing 230 k , not sure about miles..

The bike looks a lot more stable without him.

whoa. Yea he got blown off that bike. 230mph wind I imagine could do that. Crazy how far he rolled.

The next vid is nice too, deploying your reserve chute inside an airplane

Glad mine doesn't go more than 170. haha

I'm just guessing but the vid looks like he lost his body position due to the bike being so jerky so he lost his "tuck" and got blown off the bike. Just a guess though.

That's what it looked like to me.

A similar incedent actually happened to a friend of mine. He was jump mastering a student who freaked and accidently pulled his reserve rip cord and the jump master was kneeling on the floor behind the door opening. The chute went out the door, inflated and then pulled him through the wall of the plane ripping the side of the plane open. Both my friend and the plane landed safely but he did extensive damage to his knee.
