Passed that myself. I'm surprised far more of them dont tip over, as even though hay isnt that heavy, there's still bound to be a fair weight in each bale and they do stack them far too high. There's no way it can be safe.

Cycle cam this time...
Thoughts on how he managed this? Dry road. The bike actually looked to have NY plates on it as he passed me. My thoughts are he didn't see the bend until the last minute and was maybe heavy on the brakes and skidded on the cats eye?
Looked a lot worse in real life. Me and my dad were like 'WOW HOLY ****' and when I showed footage to other passenger they couldn't believe we made such a big deal about such a seemingly minor thing

Probably the white line, any moisture at all and they r like an ice rink, especially hitting one on a bend.

^100% correct. white line for sure...even in the dry it can be greasy and with virtually zero texture for the tyre to grip and bite into it.

Surface change from the shellgrip to crappier tarmac and an eejit riding ?

No footpegs are spring loaded, it just folds if it clips the ground, wouldn't do that to you.
Won't move too far with your foot on it, I've never tested the theory

I've hit mine a few times and no issues. If it starts to fold u just move from the ball of your foot on the peg to your toes without any drama

ok...so its the black stripe that used to be a white line....you can clearly see his rear tyre touch it and start the slide..

i've done it a few times too and no problem other than a bit of a surprise. Now, on my bicycle, i've crashed twice from getting it wrong and scraping pedal on the ground while trying to pedal through a fast turn, pedal doesn't fold and just steps the rear out and there's no coming back :/

one of mine was a carbon copy of this crash....
Most cyclists discover this phenomenon when they are like 8 years old and then remind themselves never to do it again.

big tourers can slide quite hapily, your bolt upright and it seems the best thing to do is let it. when it happens on a head-down sports, you usually crap yourself.
it happens me a lot when i drag the brake through a bend with combined brakes.

Don't see what all the fuss is about. Its only a minor step out, he probably did'nt even feel it much. It could have been caused by new rear tyre not scrubbed in properly or as said before touching a white line. I don't think he'd have been touching cloth though, with something as tiny as that.
