I did miss a few things in the aftermath section, I should have noted that I talk about needles quite a bit throughout the video. If you have a phobia against needles, proceed with caution! Another problem I had was I could not fully straighten out my knee for about 3-4 weeks after the accident. I only was able to do so after the first week of physiotherapy.
As a cancer patient who had an IV into my veins, it does indeed feel weird, especially when it is someone else's blood after a surgery just opened back up. And for when I came out of the surgery that was to take out most of the cancer, I was so disoriented I did wheelies in my wheel chair 🤣
Yecks. Riding in the woods might be safer. If I fall in the woods no one to blame but myself. Might be hard to get an ambulance to drag me out of the woods
It really doesn't matter who caused the crash if you are dead or crippled and have to live with the pain and suffering for the rest of your life. You want to avoid this kind of crash by taking your time and paying attention to your surroundings. A lot of people are in hurry to go nowhere. It is imperative that you give yourself enough headroom so when things go wrong, you have a chance to avoid crashes like this one. There are two video clips of me almost getting into crashes on my channel. I didn't explain myself why I made those maneuvers in the videos or in comment sections, but I had every reason to make those calls even though they might look reckless as some people had commented. Let me know if you want my thought behind it. By the way, most people do not know how fast euc can travel. If they see you at all (we will get back to this later), they see you as a person on a bicycle, and they don't expect you to be at the spot where they crash into you. This is how many EUC/scooters end up T-boning cars that are making right turns at an intersection. Cars often pass riders to get to the intersection to make right turn, and they don't expect the riders to be right behind them. They brake hard and start making right turn and riders end up crashing into the side of the cars. This also applies when cars make left turn at intersections. They think they can complete the left turn before EUC/scooters are near them, but they end up crashing into each other. About blind spots, a single blind spot can hide an entire SUV. We basically don't exist from drivers' perspectives. There are blind spots created by cars' mirrors when following a vehicle (I assume you already know this one). Stay out of those blind spots when cruising near a vehicle. Blind spots can also be created by street/intersection design. For an example, if you are on a slow lane and staying close to the curb like bicycles do, vehicles that are coming out of a plaza on to your lane will not see you until you are closer to the vehicle compared to if you were riding left side of the slow lane. Stationary objects such as parked vehicles and advertisement panels can obviously make blind spots. Moving objects can also create blind spot just like your case. You need to be aware of all this when riding on roads. There are a lot to learn when learning how to ride EUC, and there are even more things to learn and be aware of when riding along side of automobiles. Riding EUC/scooters/eskates/onewheel on roads are not like riding bicycle or motorcycles along side of automobiles. Imagine if you are walking on a sidewalk and about to enter a store, and a person walks out of a store in front of you at 30km/h on his motorized shoes. You won't expect that and you will get caught off guard. You thought you could get in to the store before the guy could come close to the door, but you two end up headbutting each other. That's essentially what drivers are experiencing when they see us.
This might be controversial, however, obeying traffic laws (stopping for lights, etc) may not be to your advantage as an EUC rider in terms of safety. If you were to cross strictly according to your assessment of the cross traffic, regardless if the light is green or red, you would have made it work.

The face reveal goes hard
dang, dude. i didn't realize how bad it was, you made it seem like just a small accident
Yeah lol it kinda messed up the rest of the year for me xD
well, I guess you'll have to skip leg day for a while
Haha true that!

I feel you xD
@@MrGraeGrae getting out of surgery is really disorienting, and causes you to do some crazy things lol
gruh grug

Riding in the woods is definitely a lot of fun! Though if you go off the path it’s a very good thigh workout.. xD

Well said. A lot to learn here!
Wowzai.
Wowza!

In this scenario is was using the crosswalks as a pedestrian
skill issue
Imagine thinking saying this is cool
