It's not so much the wave as it is the car it drops on top of you! As we say on the internet, Damn Nature you scary!

Damn!

It's like he got all of the shitty things a day could bring out of the way at once:

1. riding into a huge puddle
2. knocked off bike
3. hit by bike being pushed by water
4. thrown down stair by wave
5. hit by bike again propelled by . .
6. tons of water crashing down on him; and
7. hit by car pushed down stairs by even more water.

Must be a relative of mine or sumfin

I'm afraid it's even worse than that. That was a security camera facing the stern of a large motor yacht, which is tied up to the dock. That guy didn't fall down stairs, he was swept off the dock into who knows how much water.
Bike, drowned. Hopefully he fared better.

I kind of laughed, actually. Yeah, I know.

I hope that guy survived. I know that if you chucked me off of a dock in my gear and then dropped a car on me I'd be a goner.

Yeah, I hope he's fine. Cause, if nothing else, he's got something to live for - imagine a group of riders standing around, shooting the shit. Everyone tells a horror story how they got into a shitty situation on their bike, everyone trying to top the others with descriptions of pure mortal danger. Then this guy speaks.
Heck, after a while, when a newb joins the group and tells of his exploits, all he'd have to do would be to breathe loudly, and everyone else would just shake their heads at the newb and be like "Yeah, but that's nothing compared to what happened to Tony here..."
Short of a pilotless 747 crashing on top of you, or a roaring fire in a skyscraper, sudden freak wave coming after you has to top most everything else for bragging rights for life.
Unless he goes to Japan or Indonesia, where that has become a tragically common experience in recent years.

apparently he did ok with minor injuries, it happened in san remo Italy.

Apparently it happened here:


I went to the marina's website (http://www.portosolesanremo.it/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but can't find where berth 36 is. It's out there on the seawall somewhere. I just thought it'd be cool to see the exact spot.

You can walk the seawall in google street view. Still can't tell what the berth numbers are tho.
