Video: Cyclist's face-first crash captured on TV report goes viral; ouch!

Cyclist tries to jump the kerb as the TV cameras are rolling but comes a cropper. Badly.

 

We've all been there; whether it's toppling over strapped or clip into pedals when we first started cycling to have a stupid crash with an audience looking on.

But for most of us, our embarrassment is not captured by a TV camera and posted online to go viral.

Spare a thought for the cyclist in the clip below.

He's approaching a pavement and as he attempts to lift hop his front wheel on, the manoeuvre goes badly wrong and he hits the deck.

At that very moment a nearby TV news crew has just begun filming and captures the whole thing.

The clip has been posted online by the Al-Anba newspaper in Kuwait, clocking up almost 800,000 hits on the Facebook post alone.
