PRAGUE: We often listen that “God gives life and only God can take it” —it’s completely different to see it in action.
The 85-year-old motorcyclist crashed into the railway barrier and both rider and bike ended up on the tracks in the Czech Republic, but a 31-year-old man waiting to catch his train to work that day managed to pull both rider and bike to safety.
It’s not possible to tell if it’s the case from this video, but any rider familiar with riding at that time of day can tell you that sun blindness is a real thing, even in the best riders of all ages.
Czech police posted the video online and also presented the rescuer with an award directly from the Regional Police Director last week.
The rider was able to meet and personally thank his rescuer in a much less stressful time, after both men had recovered from the shock of the initial incident.
