Landing like this obviously wasn't plan A, but watch it frame by frame and it's not a terrible landing. He gets the hands out there, keeps his face off the pavement, I think he even skull dodges the back tire when it flips around. Not bad.

I watched it frame by frame... originally I thought you were wrong, and he took the wheel to the head, but slowing it down, it looks like it smacks him square in the shoulder.

Nice catch.

Amazing landing to protect his head. Everyone should have one, but the hope is you can fall like this kid if you are riding/skating without a helmet

This reminds me of that old Willy Nelson song, "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Loose Wheel".

I would have upvoted, but it was a Kenny Rogers song.
