Watch: This cyclist might be the luckiest man alive as he narrowly avoids being impaled on fence

If you’ve ever asked how lucky a cyclist can be, there is now a definitive answer. 

Professional BMX rider Anthony Napolitan was filming a new stunt at a skate park when he attempted to flip over a nearby fence out of a bowl. Unfortunately he ended up well short of clearing the fence, landing horribly right on top.

I really don’t know how to describe this except for the fact that I’m really lucky. I’ve been going in on my @colonybmxbrand edit with @nathantsykes behind the camera and this madness happened. I can’t wait for you guys to see the edit within the next month! @evanflockalane . • • • @colonybmxbrand @maxxistires @pie_not @profile_racing @ethika #colonybmx #colonybmxbrand #maxxistires #pienot #profileracing #ethika #WithYouEverywhere #bmx #bmxisfun #ridebmx
