The motorcyclist lost his balance on the slippery road

A hair-raising video from Malaysia captured a motorcyclist nearly getting run over by a truck after crashing on the road. The footage was shared by an onlooker who was sitting in his car and observed the accident playing out in front of him.

In the clip, the motorcyclist was seen losing his balance on the slippery road. As his motorcycle skid on the road and he fell off of it, he observed a truck speeding his way.

The cyclist was forced to scramble out of the truck’s way, abandoning his bike on the road. The  footage showed him getting up and running on the slippery road, managing to escape just in the nick of time.

He displayed lightning fast reflexes as he ran a few steps before falling to the ground, even as the truck continued speeding his way.

 An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Stuck parrot

 Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
