Bolivian Death Road Bike Base Jump Attempt Turns Out Exactly Like You’d Expect

A base jumper decided to ride a mountain bike off of the Bolivian Death Road…on Friday the 13th, no less.

This seemingly flawless plan didn’t work out quite as well as he expected.

In the end he was OK.

Well, that’s a relative statement, “injuries included fractures in his forearm and cut tendons in his knees.”

But, that’s pretty good compared to what could have happened, right?

Here are two videos of this epic fail. The one above is is the biker’s helmet cam, the one below was taken by others.

What do you think? Was this extremely poor planning? Or a genuine mishap in a plan that could have worked?
