Have you ever had one of those heart-stopping moments on the road, one of those moments where you witness the fragility of human life and stare your own mortality in the face? This guy has.

The biker you see in this video is riding up Suck Creek Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee, when the traffic stops for a funeral procession. Luckily, the motorcyclist pulls to one side of the road as he stops, and just seconds later a following pick-up truck locks up its brakes and slams into the car in front.

We're not sure what colour the biker's trousers were before the crash, but we can be pretty sure what colour they were afterwards...
