Oops! A similar thing happened to a friend when he crashed his new bike and it slid off a bridge and fell into a dry river bed about 15 or so feet below. As luck would have it a boom truck happened to cruise by about 5 minutes later and the guy hauled it out, then the guy who crashed actually rode it 3 hours home. Check out the vid.

He was so lucky. There were folks to lend a hand and it was not one of the turns that drop off to the abyss!
