My wife said the same thing...

No, the back of the bike kicked up when the nose came down hard. If he would've feathered the nose down she wouldn't have gotten bumped off like that.

But your honour, the girl was my sister, I TOLD her what I was gonna do, and we filmed it together knowing I was gonna do a wheelie. That and she didn't wear her leather.

Suing doesn't solve everything guys.

Actually if you go frame by frame, before the front wheel even comes down you can see someones foot on the far side of the bike come off the bike. I can't tell for sure if it's the operator's foot or the passenger's foot, but one of them lost their footing on the left side of the bike.

It would make sense if it was the passenger's foot slipping off which then seem to make contact with the road after the front wheel came down. If the passenger's foot was dragging on the ground that would drag her off the bike.

 
I onece did a fast turn in doing 75 saved by the leather, if you are going to ride you can either wear leather or pain.

I choose leather.
 
My motorcycle forum posted a link to pics of the aftermath. I'm not sure if it's the same chick as in the video but the dates seem to be right on.

I kinda thought that too, but if you look at it frame-by-frame you can see her start to slide back and just lose her grip from his waist. Definitely didn't push off.

I'd be surprised if those pictures are of the girl in the video. Girl in the video looks like she broke her arm, at the very least.

I did a little more research and now it's sounding like they may not be the same chick. The video shows her falling on her left arm first and the girl in the pics does have injuries in that area but it's hard to say.
 
Stupid bike rider and the girl should have warn some leathers or something but that sleeveless top.

Her injuries don't look so bad in that link but it will leave a mark...
