It’s one thing to hear this story and another to watch it with your own two eyes, but if you’re willing to read before you view the footage, here’s what happened.

About 20 seconds after a group of motorcyclists began a dirt bike race on the tarmac, one of them lost his balance and slipped on the road. A rider coming from behind was evidently taken by surprise and didn’t have much room to avoid the crash.

And here’s where the incident takes a strange twist. The biker on the ground somehow got his helmet caught up on the other motorcyclist’s steering column – much like a fish on a hook…

We’re glad to report, though, that neither was hurt from this bizarre accident.
