How did he survive this ?
 

Warning: Footage shows double decker bus hitting a man. (No injuries sustained!)



This was only a few days ago.... talk about hard as nails...

Looks like the bus was out of control.

Looks like it, I cannot see the bus driver intentionally driving like a mad person, must be the Automatic gear system or maybe a health issue with the bus driver, could have had a heart attack or something as the bus driver was not arrested in the aftermath of the incident.

Wow :eeek:

Re: How did he survive this ?
 

I'm surprised he didn't seem to hear the bus coming. Having said that, he'd probably not have had time to move away from danger and may well have suffered a more serious injury if he'd turned round to see what was coming. Lucky guy!

"Oh, here comes my lift to the pub......"

The young lad who was walking on the other side of the road, he reacts to the bus coming round the corner and sees in horror the man being run over, and as the bus moves out of shot, you see him hold his head, not knowing what to expect. He eventually comes over to help him and you seem him phoning emergency services. But as for this guy. He is a very lucky. :erm:

I like that he just thought screw it and went into the pub.

Absolutely a miracle that he did not come off worse.

I have travelled on that bus route and it seems to be traveling faster than it normally dose,

He's one bouncy guy lucky for him and definately something wrong with that bus.

Re: How did he survive this ?
 

Luckily the guy was tallish and the bus was flat at the front.

The Reading buses are very quiet, some are Hybrid electric.

Re: How did he survive this ?
 

Yes that could well explain his lack of awareness. Ever since those electric mobility scooters have become common I've been thinking that the lack of noise associated with electric vehicles could be a big problem in terms of road safety. Hearing is so very important to our safety in all sorts of ways but short of making electric vehicles generate some form of artificial noise I have no idea how we can get around this problem.

apparently when people went over to see if he was ok, he said he was looking for Sarah Connor?
