Biker defies death - twice

A biker who survived crashing into a pole and his bike bursing into petrol-fuelled flames has been caught on video which shows just how lucky he is to be alive.

First he hits the street pole at speed and is flung off before suddenly stopping in mid-air he hits what appears be a wire connected to the pole.

Soon after the crash his bike bursts into flames and the man, now on the ground, amazingly gets up just in time to avoid the fire.

REAL-LIFE SUPERHERO?

Understandably confused, he then runs off into the distance, apparently unscathed.

Is this a real-life superhero? With speed and agility, fast reflexes and super healing powers? Guess we'll never know.
