Zero (0) points if only you gets knocked over.

Two (2) points if you and the motorcycle gets knocked over.
(One (1) bonus point for each passenger on the motorcycle)​

Four (4) points if the motorcycle gets knocked over and not you.
(One (1) bonus point for each passenger on the motorcycle)​

Example of how the game works:

I was hoping for a better video, from my view I got to see the actual motorcycle getting hit.
The guy getting into the back of the truck at the end of the video clip was the pedestrian.

Watch the center line to the driver side of silver car

This was a 5 pointer, the guy ran right into the side of the bike knocking the bike and both people off the bike.

This could keep us busy during the non Death Pool times. Pure Genius. The morally correct are going to be upset.

The bridge is infamous for suicide jumpers.

There was a small crowd on the side entering Santiago (Left side in the video).
Possibly another person decided to take the leap of faith.

Thus the reason people were crossing in traffic on the bridge.
AMET was busy trying to keep the traffic lanes moving.

I´m so use to it, I don´t even bother to look anymore.

May be, but why would someone just go push a motorcycle over? I'll bet the perp knew the rider and passenger.

Hard to believe it would be random.

The guy was crossing the same time as a couple other people.
He was just about in the middle of the road, looked to his right and decided he could beat the silver car and made a dash for it.

If you re-play the video you can see that is what happened.
Just plain stupidity on the pedestrian´s fault.

I had a better view around the silver car then my dash cam lens which is in the center of the windshield.

Unfortunately in the D.R., motorcyclists have no concern for safety and drive between lanes, even lanes going in opposite directions.

I come within inches of motorcycles everyday crossing that bridge with motorcyclists driving over the center line.

ALWAYS look both ways, everywhere!

Update on the infamous Santiago suicide bridge incident this morning.

Word is that the male jumper survived the jump with one broken leg.
From where the crowd was, it may have been a short distance to the ground from the bridge.

I usually see the crowd on the other side of the road, guess the jumper did not know where the best jumping spot was located.
