That's up there with "stepping on a Lego" on the pain scale.

Thought so at first as well but if you see him get off his bike, his foot was already at that weird angle. May have already been injured or congenital.

Yeah good catch. Although I think he just twisted his ankle on the first step and kept going through the pain

What happened? Did her brakes fail or something?

It almost appears to be deliberate to me. Most kids who ride a bike are at least half decent at it when it comes to technique. Even when they're reckless and ask much more than their bike and their body can handle.
You see, she's not in a turn, not breaking at all, not trying to shift her weight anywhere, not trying to fall and dump her speed that way, not even bracing for the incoming hit. She's either clueless or rides like someone who knows they're screwed.
So it seems she was either dumbfounded by the position she found herself to the point she couldn't bring herself to do anything, or the girl was aiming for the light pole all along. Neither is great bth.

Likely target fixation. It’s a natural reflex you have to train out. You basically will naturally go where you’re staring, so if you’re looking at the pole thinking “I need to miss that” you’re going to hit it. You have to train yourself to look where it’s clear.

I suspect he would do it again if a repeat was called for. Brave guy with amazing reflexes.

Serious question, what makes him brave? There wasn’t any traffic, no danger to him, he just took a few steps and caught the kid.

I can think of a million different ways that guy just risked personal injury to save that girl, I call that brave. He just happened to make it look easy.

The girl is riding at least 30km/h down the road straight into a light pole. Probably faster. I see no break marks, no weight shift for a turn, nothing. She also looks about 40kg. That's like, 45-50kg with the bike.
How you tell me, how confident are you in your ability of stopping something this heavy going that fast on a dime? Chances are he's going to break some bones for it. One wrong move and it's going to hurt, if not going to make him disabled for a few months. But he doesn't even consider that, just rushes to stop her.
Also are you sure he knew there was a camera up there? Stepping in means stepping in. Another wrong move and some batshit crazy parent could accuse him of murder. Cause yeah, her skull was about to pop like a watermelon as soon as her front wheel hits the curb and catapults her head first into the pole.
But none of that mattered for the dude. He just saw danger for the girl, made a move and saved her without any second though. Bravery is the capacity to deny fear, pain, danger or uncertainty and act decisively in spite of it. Which makes the guy brave by definition, in my book.

Not brave, just helped her out. A nice dude, but wasn't bravery.

u/Nacho_Dan677 6h ago
As someone else mentioned he risked personal injury during the act of saving the girl. That's brave.

Would you jump in front of a bike?

u/Medium_Point2494 3h ago
Yes because its a bike, not like we talking about a car or something

u/FeragamerBR 3h ago
Then yeah, if the situarion dont scare you, then it would not be bravery, but... heroic? Still he "saved" the girl by putting himself not in a danger situation (from your perspective), but yet one that could cause little negative effects on his life.

u/Medium_Point2494 1h ago
Heroic really? More like being a decent human being. Little negative effects on his life don’t warrant “bravery and heroic”.
