Rider Goes Airborne After Running Over Unsecured Load

On June 18, Linda Leverty was headed east in the middle lane on I-94 near Woodbury, Minn., when she saw a rolled-up, yellow pad release from the back of a boat hinged to an SUV in the left lane. Brenden Jankowski, 20, – of Hudson, Wisc. – was riding his motorcycle, behind the truck.

He unsuccessfully tried to swerve out of path the tumbling pad. The collision sent him and his bike flipping through the air; both crashed to the ground, spinning from the momentum.

Even when you have eyes on the back of your head, vigilantly riding and making sure that safety is a priority, still, obstacles can come from nowhere.

This time, we check out a rider who has a tangle with some debris that comes as a result of a boater not securing their load.

We watch as a giant raft falls off of the back of the boat and on the highway, leaving the motorcycle rider to react in a split second, but at that point it’s too late.

We’re able to witness the whole event on dashcam as the rider hits the float and goes soaring into the air. That’s one that he’s going to be feeling in the morning.
