Hopefully the rider is OK, not really sure how this happened!

Be careful of what, spontaneously learning to fly? I'm still trying to wrap my head around what possible sequence of events could have led to hooking that bike by its forks on the pole like that while apparently causing very little damage to it in the process. Okay, he's knocked off the front fairing and the windscreen, if it had one. But both tires are still inflated, the frame appears straight, the lower splitter is still attached, and I don't even think the fork tubes are bent.

Just.

How?

Low car? Maybe the bike flipped up? But you'd expect more damage.

Bike mid wheelie maybe? Then ramped up the front of a car?

I'd definitely like to hear how if someone eventually find footage.
