Jezus, poor sod. Just shows, he thought a tourer would be safer than a race rep. Wrong.

The thing is hes obviously got his mate to film him whilst he " cruises " in, some bit of film he will want to show his kids when they get older.

His mate could have been there filming him for a short home movie or documentary. It could have just as easily been a shot of the Hairy bikers riding through a seaside town. It's not necessarily a set up and the cameraman just happened to catch it. He done as every good cameraman will do and stay calm and follow the action. You can laugh about it afterwards. It would be nice to see the raw footage and what happens afterwards and would make it a little more convincing though. Sometimes the best takes are the ones that are not planned. Saying that, the rider is a little too wobbly for my liking and is either a bad rider or it's a setup with a crash mat in the yacht ready to catch the fall. Why steer towards the bins, it don't seem natural. Expensive stunt cause the bikes fooked

Not the bins as such but it's his black pannier that catches and rips off on a post that sends him into a terminal wobble

I think you will find the landing was inside the boat.
And here is the steering into the side.
And just for luck and make sure one launches off the quayside correctly, One last push with the right leg.
Go through frame by frame and it all becomes clear.
