At some point in the video that guy's inner dialogue goes from "oh poo poo how do I get this rope off my ankle" to "oh poo poo I hope this rope stays on my ankle"

Not necessarily: Target Fixationquote:Target fixation is an attentional phenomenon observed in humans in which an individual becomes so focused on an observed object (be it a target or hazard) that they inadvertently increase their risk of colliding with the object. The real OSHA is trusting meat to control metal.

The real crime is piloting your velocipede half-way across the road against a red light.

PinheadSlim posted:Jesus that was intentional, what the gently caress Honestly, I was wincing the moment he stopped and his wheels were sort of sticking out into the traffic lanes. I figured he’d get clipped - not that he’d get plowed through while the vehicle jumps the curb.

They were staring at the cyclist to make sure they don't hit them, but then they subconsciously steer towards where they are looking and end up hitting him.

I just have had target fixation before and I know you still take steps to avoid the collision when it happens like braking. I feel like the car wasn't aware there was a person or a curb there to be honest.

You'd be surprised how often people just lock up and don't take basic steps to stop themselves from hitting something.

Here's the guy and the story. Other articles mention he might have been drinking. There was a lot of speculation when it first happened that he was intentionally trying to clip the guys from wheel but that is pretty much impossible to prove.

hemale in pain posted:no, you shouldn't run people over because you got a text When I took motorcycle lessons, the instructor said "just because you're in the right doesn't mean that you aren't the one who is going to get hurt" as a way of imparting defensive riding. Don't hide in blind spots, allow the car to merge, don't enter an intersection before it's been cleared, etc. The driver shouldn't watch their phone/target fixate/steer intentionally into the cyclist, but the cyclist put themselves in a position where they could get hurt.

(that's not to say that the car driver shouldn't be in prison. just pointing out that risk mitigation means sometimes you have to back off a bit even if you're not technically doing anything wrong.)

I feel like the car wasn't aware there was a person or a curb there to be honest. Having brought up Canada's Worst Driver before, they had an Eye of the Needle challenge specifically about this. You were going at 80 km/h and had to pass through 5 arches, each only slightly larger than the car. By looking where you want to go, you'll subconsciously bring the car where it needs to be. This is vital for crash avoidance because it allows you to swerve and avoid debris or another car instead of slamming on the brakes or blindly staring at it and crashing into it. A few people have written to the show saying the lessons from it saved their life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qfTPmJn-I&t=1775s

all i'm saying is that the person didn't do anything inherently dangerous and is not inconveniencing anyone. i'm all for defensive driving and being aware of dangers but you're kinda hosed if someone just comes out of their lane and drives in to you no matter the situation. i don't give a crap about the legality of it or whatever and it makes me sad people could watch a video like that and then blame the dude just standing there not in the way of anything
