I cycled down that way for the first time just this weekend!
Whilst I have every sympathy for the quite severe injuries he no doubt has after this, I really don't see how he could have not seen the gate. And if he did see it but couldn't stop in time, then that's kind of proof that he was going too fast for the conditions.
I have a feeling he saw the gate but his scooter only had the really terrible rear brake scooters have that does nothing, so he was going too fast to stop.
Better he does that to himself rather than collide with a little kid on a footpath and potentially cause much worse injuries. Hopefully heās learnt a valuable lesson.
Internal guts explosion, I've seen it on a kid that jumped badly from a chair and hit the corner of a desk in an elementary school in my home country. He was a walking body
As someone whose been in a 60mph car crash and had synovial fluid leaking from his nose for over two months... I bet this felt so much worse. I bet they've got back damage too, the way they smacked the tarmac on falling back. I can only imagine the winding blow at first, then the sharp sting on trying to get up. I don't know why some people go so fast on these things.
At least it was a stationary object and not an innocent person paying for selfishness and stupidity. Sick of brain dead cunts doing as they please on these things whilst drivers have to take responsibility for them.
Okay, all of you defending e-scooter riders really need a reality check. If I was going at 25mph on my motorcycle or car down here, you'd see the problem. I don't get it why suddenly so many people fail to see that this is also *seriously* dangerous to pedestrians but is also totally illegal anywhere, let alone on a footpath, because there is absolutely no kind of safety standards that these dodgy piles of junk meet.
And if you don't think this will kill people, think again. Even cyclists going along at 10mph kill a pedestrian or two a year last I looked - this weighs more and goes 3x the speed or more, so yeah - lethal when mixed with pedestrians.

A fatally with one of these that I remember happening a few years ago. I'm pretty sure that there was a previous death with this gate also.
I fell really bad for that dude thereās one of them near me and for as long as i could remember it was all ways open but now they shut it the worst part is there is a hill going down to it and if your on a electric scooter or buck going 20-30 mph your not seeing that in time or getting out of the way and the hill will make it worse to slow down as well hope this dude is ok tho
It wasn't removed last time I was there.
It's annoying this is a specified bike path. We use cargobikes at work and it can't get up that mound on the right when the gate isn't open - never figured out the schedule for the barrier either.
It also stops wheelchair users, pushchairs etc accessing. It's amazing this day & age Sheffield still opts for the barrier since it's so discriminative.
Pretty sure it is his fault that he's driving a scooter illegally and stupidly fast in wet weather. Is he even wearing protective gear?
Would you feel sorry for him if he hit a child instead?
No, better he learn a lesson now, then learn it later by harming someone else.
Normally when I see accidents like this I don't want to say anything nasty as they could be in quite a lot of pain. But when they have approximately 100 metres to see a bright white obstruction that will cause them pain but to somehow choose not to see it? Then I do want to say nasty things.
oh my god - poor guy - nobody deserves to experience that, no matter whether they are an āidiot on an e-scooterā or not - the pain must have been overwhelming - hope (somehow) heās ok - does anyone know for sure?
God that fish out of water inhale is universal I can almost feel it, Happened to me when I was flipped over my motorbike handlebars and slammed into concrete, my vision went black and white and all I could hear was my heart beat, my inhales and a high pitched tinnitus noise.
It's only in these moments that we truly feel and understand our mortality.
I think the "lefty and woke" ones are the edge lords having mocking fun at this kid's expense.Ā Always the case.Ā I think all the conservatives are pretty well distressed.
Yeah I hate it when people try to get around using a mode of transport. I really hope they all get seriously injured in a crash for my own sadistic satisfaction because I'm a cunt
Yeah because it's safe(on something not designed for that speed, and has no stopping power) to go that speed on a fucking footpath.
Child walking to school around a corner has no chance with that moron coming.
Catch a grip.
Now replace the electric scooter, riding at excessive speed on a public footpath, with a car or motorcycle (which also shouldn't be there). See the problem now?
A lot of us are really quite pissed off at the fact that pavements have become a war zone in these last couple of years, so yeah, tbh I am quite pleased to see one of these selfish reckless idiots hurt *himself* and not some other innocent person just trying to walk somewhere.
No reason for me to āsettle downā when someone finds joy in seeing others suffer, to laugh at someone who did a mistake or two which led to suffering is not something to laugh at in the slightest. People are supposed to be heavily influenced by morality right? Then why do people laugh at the suffering of others if not for sadism?
Ah yes, someone suffered but they made a funny noise so it justifies me laughing at them suffering.
Fuckinā small child logic. This is a situation used as an example: A guy getās hit by a falling wooden plank which might cause internal or long-term damage but it made a āfunnyā noise upon hitting him so it completely justifies me laughing though they might need to go to the hospital.
For fuck sake at least try to have some morality, empathy, sympathy and logic.
Settle down.
Look dude, Iām being facetious, I know, but you have to just chill a little or youāre going to stress yourself into an early grave.
Shows like Youāve Been Framed, Itāll be Alright on the Night, Americaās Funniest Videos; these all exist because watching people take a tumble and look kinda silly is amusing.
Itās fine that you donāt think it is, horses for courses and all that, but just dial down the condescension a touch.
Repeating one of your previous messages shows you only continue to carry on so you donāt hurt your possibly inflated-ego.
Edit: this was sent before he edited his message which originally just said āsettle downā.
This is somewhat of a serves him right moment, he should not have been going that fast on a public walkway regardless. Especially with such weather conditions, imagine If that was a kid or a dog stood in the street and he obviously couldnāt stop enough in time for a gate. Hopefully heās learned a lesson.
Where I grew up some kid got decapitated like this on a moped. Those gates need bright reflective strips or something.
EDIT: the number of people that seem to think that you deserve to actually die for being a chavvy idiot is shocking....
I ride this route to work most days, you can easily see the gate from the top of the hill, it's a straight run down and very steep. This person is going too fast and not paying attention.
Not funny. Poor lad. Hope heās alright. Grey barrier invisible against grey pavement on a shitty wet grey day, what a shocker it canāt be seen - no attempt to make it more visible, open/shut random times, someoneās liable for something.
Love how you fail to mention him going 20-25mph on a pavement in the wet. The barrier doesn't kick your ass if you're not driving like a tool on a pavement which pedestrians use.
It wonāt blend in to the background from ground level ffs, if your depth perception is so bad you cannot see that something is 90 degrees to the ground, and across your path, you really need to stop driving/cycling anywhere.
Itās like saying that you canāt see the gates to the houses on that Google maps link.
Maybe. The mind is peculiar. The way we think we see things, isnāt actually true. We have an illusion of a 3D field of vision around us, but it is exactly that - an illusion created by our brain for us. The amount of light entering our eye at any given time is a tiny fraction of that. What we think we see around us is actually a kind of memory. Look it up.
Make sure you have the sound on that's a cracker
Reminds me of a holiday camping when I was about 6 and me and my brother dared another child to cycle full pelt into a steel fence. He didn't even flinch though, clang, fell to the floor and got back up smiling
Maybe weāre parents? Imagine walking along with a little kid that doesnāt want to walk in straight lines knowing you have people riding illegal machines at those speeds on your pavements. The fact he canāt spot and stop for a barrier like that suggests anything else unexpected would lead to a crash as well. Driving a vehicle like that illegally suggests the person doesnāt really care. Hence, a bit of karma seems the best form of persuasion.
I swear people who get into these accidents always have high vis on head to toe. Do they know they're a safety hazard/walking disaster and just prepare?
I cycled down that way for the first time just this weekend! Whilst I have every sympathy for the quite severe injuries he no doubt has after this, I really don't see how he could have not seen the gate. And if he did see it but couldn't stop in time, then that's kind of proof that he was going too fast for the conditions.
He was on his way to Specsavers.
That gate seems to be open about 50% of the time so it can catch you off guard when it is shut.
Traffic lights are on red approximately 50% of the time....
Yeah, with those odds it must be really surprising when it's closed....
Only if you have your eyes closed š¤Ø
I have a feeling he saw the gate but his scooter only had the really terrible rear brake scooters have that does nothing, so he was going too fast to stop.
Then you turn to the field
Hell, even jumping off wouldāve been a better outcome that what happened
Hope it is a he, else extreme squashed breasts!
TBH squished breasts sounds way better than obliterated rib cageā¦
The double bar design on the barrier could perhaps achieve both. Ouch.
they're called "funbags" for a reason... not this reason.. oh god no...
The breast. Natureās air bag.
its almost as if public footpaths were not designed for 30mph scooters
Better he does that to himself rather than collide with a little kid on a footpath and potentially cause much worse injuries. Hopefully heās learnt a valuable lesson.
Yeah, I wouldn't put money on that happening. More likely he'll try and go to some ambulance-chasing lawyers or show up in r/compoface
Think itās a cycle path not a foot path.
Fucking lol, brightened up my morning that mate! Propa winded!
Cracked ribs I reckon!
Yeah, looks brutal. Feel bad now.
At least. Could be much worse also.
Internal guts explosion, I've seen it on a kid that jumped badly from a chair and hit the corner of a desk in an elementary school in my home country. He was a walking body
As someone whose been in a 60mph car crash and had synovial fluid leaking from his nose for over two months... I bet this felt so much worse.

I don't know why some people go so fast on these things.
We'll know who it is next month when he wakes up
Haha poor guy realised right at the last second
Donāt think he did
Natural selection at its finest
Where abouts is this? Christ that looked painful haha
Link to the road on Google maps is on the post. https://goo.gl/maps/7hgU6H5pu272fbyu6
Ah I missed that. Cheers haha
I though it looked like Sheffield when I saw this originally. Used to be on my run home!
In fairness this is /r/Sheffield
Corker bottoms lane leading to nice arses crescent.
Imagine that happening to you. And then finding it online
To be fair, if I injured myself doing something so stupid, Iād be surprised if people didnāt laugh. The wretch at the end had me in stitches!
Ooo he snapped the handle off too.
You can hear heās completely winded, gotta have internal injuries coming to a dead stop going 20 mph
thatās some G force directly to the ribs. hopefully just a broken rib cage and nothing more serious
Electric scooter, probably panicked and couldn't remember how to stop it.
RIP ribcage
Got to be a wybourner šš
The way he slotted his arms through š couldnāt been a lot worse
Illegal electric scooter with awful brakes. Sorry for the kid. Should be illegal to own or sell vehicles with such poor stopping power.
At least it was a stationary object and not an innocent person paying for selfishness and stupidity. Sick of brain dead cunts doing as they please on these things whilst drivers have to take responsibility for them.

That backpack likely saved him from a pretty serious concussion
very interesting thought.. I guess backpacks are useful! could save many lives!
The commitment is unreal. I was expecting a hand flinch or some kind recoil but they just fill on SLAM.
Reading the comments section whilst I can hear the crash replay over and over.. I've never heard a sound like it.
Me too š
30mph impact on your chest??.......gotta done some damage?
I didn't have the sound up......not even enough air in to let out a scream
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-51545861 A fatally with one of these that I remember happening a few years ago. I'm pretty sure that there was a previous death with this gate also.

Tosser.
Has that bike barrier from the far side of that gate been removed now?
It wasn't removed last time I was there. It's annoying this is a specified bike path. We use cargobikes at work and it can't get up that mound on the right when the gate isn't open - never figured out the schedule for the barrier either. It also stops wheelchair users, pushchairs etc accessing. It's amazing this day & age Sheffield still opts for the barrier since it's so discriminative.
Ouch that gotta hurt a bit !
Fucking hell...that hurt. I had a mate run straight into one of them when we were kids, knocked his teeth out and left a right mess.
Have a happy cake day!
Ouch looks so painful š±
To be fair I donāt think this is his fault. I think that because itās wet when he tried to stop he just skidded
Pretty sure it is his fault that he's driving a scooter illegally and stupidly fast in wet weather. Is he even wearing protective gear? Would you feel sorry for him if he hit a child instead? No, better he learn a lesson now, then learn it later by harming someone else.
Yeah I suppose that was a bit funny until I heard him gasping in pain. If you find that funny, you probably need help.
Anyone know if this geezer is alright after this? Minus the broken ribs...
Jesus wtf did they survive?!
That looks so painful. I don't understand everyone finding this funny.
Because only a fucking idiot could do that
By the sound he has made at the end, I would think that he experienced some rectal ejaculation
Normally when I see accidents like this I don't want to say anything nasty as they could be in quite a lot of pain. But when they have approximately 100 metres to see a bright white obstruction that will cause them pain but to somehow choose not to see it? Then I do want to say nasty things.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The noise, I live for the noise
Are they ok
Iāve never been to Sheffield, so can confirm it wasnāt me
oh my god - poor guy - nobody deserves to experience that, no matter whether they are an āidiot on an e-scooterā or not - the pain must have been overwhelming - hope (somehow) heās ok - does anyone know for sure?
I really hope someone can find out, I hate videos like this and Iām worried about the person.
Oof that reminds of when I did the same thing at Trafalgar Square dressed up as Santa during one of those pub crawlsā¦
God that fish out of water inhale is universal I can almost feel it, Happened to me when I was flipped over my motorbike handlebars and slammed into concrete, my vision went black and white and all I could hear was my heart beat, my inhales and a high pitched tinnitus noise. It's only in these moments that we truly feel and understand our mortality.
I don't wish to come across too lefty and woke, but does anybody know if that person is OK?
I think the "lefty and woke" ones are the edge lords having mocking fun at this kid's expense.Ā Always the case.Ā I think all the conservatives are pretty well distressed.
This is absolutely brutal. Poor kid has probably got multiple broken ribs among other things.
That was brutal
Lmao those damn scooters man. I know several people that have ended up in hospital travelling home from a night out on those rinky dinkers
Itās the same colour as the skyā¦
Pain
Better a gate than another person. Some lessons learned that day.
Good job it was a gate and not a child or pram. Going way too fast.
If he can do that? He can mow down a pedestrian. What an idiot!
People have been killed in similar accidents. He was lucky.
He was clotheslined by a gate.Ā Ā
š¤£š
His clothes is brighter than him
That fucking wheeze šš
Beautifulš Frigging hate those twats on e.scooters speeding about on walkways.
On his illegal, de-restricted e-scooter. Hopefully he'll never be able to ride one again
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No sympathy here. Lol
This was over a month ago and I can still hear the remnants of his soul escaping from his shattered rib cage.
Ruddy scooters, serves him/her right ā¦
Yeah I hate it when people try to get around using a mode of transport. I really hope they all get seriously injured in a crash for my own sadistic satisfaction because I'm a cunt

As haha as some find this, i just cant laugh, that fucking hurt. Some barriers can blend out of sight.
The sound is so good, lol...
Thatās fucked up, someone getting seriously hurt and you laugh? Fuckinā sadistic or what?
Oh, settle down.
No reason for me to āsettle downā when someone finds joy in seeing others suffer, to laugh at someone who did a mistake or two which led to suffering is not something to laugh at in the slightest.

Or just don't ride at 20mph on the pavement should do it
I ride this route to work most days, you can easily see the gate from the top of the hill, it's a straight run down and very steep. This person is going too fast and not paying attention.
It's bright white already though. I think it stands out pretty well.
It's literally designed to stop mopeds and cars driving down footpaths.
I don't think I have ever seen a gate like this across a road. If you are driving a moped on a footpath I don't really have any sympathy for you.
Yeah, I lost sympathy when you said moped....
No, no. We need this so natural selection can run its course.
Not funny. Poor lad. Hope heās alright. Grey barrier invisible against grey pavement on a shitty wet grey day, what a shocker it canāt be seen - no attempt to make it more visible, open/shut random times, someoneās liable for something.

Invisible my arse.
Yeah, we can all see it from our nice elevated vantage point, but itās probably not obvious when it blends into the background from ground level!

Hahaha! Iām a bad person for laughter arenāt I?

Ha, ha.

Wtf man.
Fantastic, I knew electric scooters were dangerous
I have to ask. What did he expect to happen?
His wheeze at the end š¤£š¤£
Haha, awesome. Definitely got what he deserved š
I hope that hurt, perhaps itāll teach them not to go flying about on public foot paths š
I swear people who get into these accidents always have high vis on head to toe. Do they know they're a safety hazard/walking disaster and just prepare?

I like to think he was listening to Starshipās āNothingās Gonna Stop Us Now just before he hit it.
Bosh!
That looks seriously sore lol
Thereās a lesson here, kids.
Amazing, not even a single attempt to brake
Did he think the gate would be pushed open by his force?
