I don't know, I thought he missed the bike and then got hit himself ... in the head ... by an oncoming car! Is that what you saw? Could he possibly have survived? Ick.

I think it was a parked car. not real sure though....
the last clip looks like he is laying on the ground infront of the car and the car doesn't appear to be moving towards him.

I don't think he died. but i'm sure he got hurt pretty bad..

If you check the video at the end, the other car had stopped and it rear lights were on, it looks like the car was going the other way when it happened. Most likely it ran over the kid's neck after his chin clocked the bumper.

When you see the slo-mo, it doesn't look like anyone is driving that car. It looks parked. But, that's what you get for poor judgement like that. If he did die, well, that's just nature prunin'.

He definately hit a parked car. If you pause it you can see no one in it. It doesn't appear to me that the car had it's lights on either. They just seem bright because everything is kinda overcast.

I hope he got hurt badly.

I hate teenagers!

The car with it's lights on at the end seems to be the car he fell out of. In any case the car he hit was brown and the one at the end was silver. So it's not the same car.

This thread is an insult to the scores of parents with teenagers who have attempted to door innocent bystanders, lost their balance and then got SMACKED in the face with a parked car. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves.

Who will get sued?
The child on the bike they doored.
The maker of the bike the child was riding
The car maker
The maker of the viedo camara
The person that parked his car their.

They all should have know that someones little angel would try to kill a child at that spot......

oh god,

That makes me sick that somone would do that to a little kid. It serves that guy right. I hope he died.

someone has tried to harass me while i was riding my bike like that before. It was a car full of teenagers who followed me and tried to hit me a few times. they followed me onto the sidewalk.

I didnt ride for a month after that.

stuff like that really makes me sick. his parents should be hanged and beaten, and he should be punshed. the sad thing about this, is this posted on the internet as a joke.

(Im not refering to pnj for that^ )

Apparently the kid lived, and his name is Mullet. Check out the message forum in the link below, heading 'Mullet's Accident - video on the net'. Should be the first topic listed.
