My man is mostly definitely not fine. He is in shock. Your body puts all of its energy into escaping at that point.
luxter7
Looks like he’s just walking into a pub.
Alexthecool1990
I remember when this happened. Apparently the building he went into was a pub. And he ordered a pint.
willy0200112
Right into the pub
Mr5anch3z
That would probably make my back hurt less to be honest.
GingerPerfect
"Time to go to the pup now" -that guy at the end

Starfury42
I want that guy on my zombie survival team.
Bard1313
It’s like a video game, plow down NPCs and they get up walk away like nothing happened.
siccoyote
Some people will say he was lucky, to those people I wonder what their morning was like.
meganical
I mean, that pole probably saved his life. As someone with shitty luck, you gotta take what you can get
ShitIsRidiculous
If that is Reading (I think it is) he's gone in to the Purple Turtle....which is some sort of hell.

Brings new meaning to the phrase " catch the bus"
suzelloozel1978
The Knight bus not so good at hiding these days

"Take it away Ern!!"
ScottyPOnThe123
That happened outside Purple Turtle in Reading, England.
GameOfLiesAndDeath
This dude just gets up and goes about his day like a pedestrian in GTA.
Mokelzwerg
“Phew that was something. Better have a pint. Oh look the purple bar right in front of me. Am I lucky or what?”
BobKatt
Probably wishes he put on the brown pants this morning.
RubberChickenTenders
Holy hell, he's lucky to have not ended up under the wheels.
usernamenamesolongifyoutagmeinyourcommentyouwonthavemuchspace
I've witnessed a few pedestrian-vs-vehicle crashes (like 4), buses seem to be designed to have people bounce off the front
usernamenamesolongifyoutagmeinyourcommentyouwonthavemuchspace
I'm not sure if this is a normal number of traffic accidents to witnessed first hand... in 30+ years of life. I'm sure Russians see more
Nlchacon
I feel his pain. Every morning.
Shenschtein
Holly shit, that pole saved his life.
V1per86
This Real Life GTA is getting out of hand
lojay33
Never noticed before but did his head break the glass? Jesus!!!
SaintCody
Fuck dude, it sure looks that way. Brutal
bambootoes
Yeah jeez I didn't notice that.
kjb72
Ugh, I can relate. I'm waiting for the doctor to call back about my back x-ray right now. We're playing phone tag.
TheMeatIncident
I get knocked down, but I get up again, never gonna keep me down
unfortunatebrownbear
DarwinsWeasel
I get locked down...
gablestout
But I went out again, the COVID curve is never goin' down!
SupraLove
I know the adrenaline is what prob prompted him to get up, but if that was me I’d lay my ass down until I got PAID.

"I have a whiskey drink, I have a Vodka drink, and when I gotta pee, I use the kitchen sink"—Homer
Skizzlesnap
The internal bleeding will.
keener33
He got up again and went in for a whiskey drink and a vodka drink, then a lager drink and a cider drink... to ease his pain
Applepotamus
he sings the songs that remind him of the good times, he sings the songs the remind him of the best times
fluortanten
Was his name Danny Boy by any chance?
keener33
Cause it sure wasn't the time was hit by a bus
sniffo
When I get hit by a purple bus, I always calmly walk into the next purple thing i see.

Gerdalearnedme
Walk it off!
Ryebread91
Give him 5 minutes. He'll be in pain then. He's just got adrenaline going now.
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
Probably a pub to get a pint to celebrate his soon to be successful lawsuit
Sauroctonus
It was a pub. I remember seeing this on the news.
MaxWar
His back will soon be purple too.
ghzroy
The purple turtle
praf973
This is that next purple thing, in my home town of Reading, UK: https://www.purpleturtlebar.com/reading/
UKMonkey
Which also happens to be a pub
Rogerwilco1974
Funnily enough, that place is The Purple Turtle, a very cool bar in Reading.
NikolaiJakovtheheadoftheKGB
Why would you lie about the PT being a cool bar? Shame on you
Rogerwilco1974
Opinions, huh? When I lived in Reading it was where I went. Good music, a very broad range of people, a tiny stage for live music/bad...
Rogerwilco1974
... dancing. What's not to like?
NikolaiJakovtheheadoftheKGB
Haha. To be fair I lived in Oxford and we had our own purple turtle, and it's where I had some of the best nights of my young life.
TheSweeneyyy
The name of the pub being The Purple Turtle - can't make it up!
whattheheckismyline
Reading loves it’s purple
PopTrogdor
So annoyed when they got rid of the burger van they had parked in the beer garden. It was the only reason we still went there
Grimmrog
guess the purple bus line is for the people wanting to go there, and the drivers lunch place.
TheSweeneyyy
Ironically the Purple 17 route is known as the backbone of Reading ?
Nobodyslogan
The pub he was walking to is called the Purple Turtle, apparetly they like Purple in Reading.
BoyofBeef
And drugs. We love drugs as well.
Eucrow
Where is Reading??
xtsnx
Near ish london in the UK :)
AquilaJM
In the County of Berkshire. About an hours drive west of London.
ShitIsRidiculous
Ah yes, I made the same comment, apologies. The Purple Turtle is horrendous!
ThisNameIsNotAboutYou
Fuck off mate
RiverRoyal
Any of the boozers along the Oxford Road make the Purple Turtle seem like Nirvana (The Nag’s Head aside)
charliebanger
I used to drink in there as a student. You know the toilet from Trainspotting? It was worse than that.
Nobodyslogan
Me too??, and I've tried to forget the horror.
AquilaJM
Can 100% confirm. That place was filthy by it was open later than most places and played metal and d&b so it has a special place in my heart
Mykeyboy
But were you there when RG1 was still going?
charliebanger
Worse than that... it was Washington Heights back then. Student Wednesdays, 50p a pint.
AquilaJM
Oh damn. RG1 and Matrix. Let's not forget Sidlesham Mill. Old school Reading clubbing.
Mykeyboy
Oh god Matrix! Christ. It was full of wannabe gangsters. Don't forget Utopia.
AquilaJM
Oh mate I forgot about Utopia. I saw Pat Sharpe do a dj set at Utopia. Yeah, that's right, THE Fun House Pat Sharpe.
charliebanger
Utopia! Getting bussed out on a Tuesday night to some old industrial estate. How could we ever forget?
Bogwort
He then received a fine from the bus company for travelling without a ticket.
rockstedi
At least he isn't in America(and black), he would have been beaten into a coma by police for not paying fare. (google: Dion Fludd)

Dombieman
How about yaaaayeeeet? Cos I find that one much funnier (it's usually accompanied by funnier more exaggerated actions)
CactusCreep
Sounds like someone powering up a stronger throw.
SaintCody
"Yaaaayeeeet" is significantly better than "cos" instead of "because".
Dombieman
Yeah but always being conscious of that 140 character limit... You know? It's automatic at this point.
SaintCody
I guess, but what happened to using "cuz"? Or "b'cus" or something. I just read it "cose". it sounds dumb in my head and it upsets me. Lol
ChewyCiabatta
I feel like that guy is the U.S and the bus is Trump.
steikewaffel
the guy is us and the bus is the media.
SilentScreamsX
Nah, the guy walked away unharmed.
ChewyCiabatta
"unharmed"
megodk
I hope he got checked out after that. Adrenaline after that hit could easily have covered some serious injury
charliegrs
Well it's the UK so he literally has no reason not to. If this happened in the US he would have to decide if it was worth the cost
bigblindguy
He walks into a pub as soon as he can stand: I can empathise, I'd need a quick one after that and all.
gooberthehat
He went for a pint in the pub.
TheWhiteBlackFrankWhite
I was playing football barefoot (brilliant) and my buddy table topped me (hilarious) when I was running full speed. Flipped over, slight
TheWhiteBlackFrankWhite
Pain in knee, rubbed it for a second and laughed it off. Stood up, looked down, big toe was pointing straight up and to the right. Never
TheWhiteBlackFrankWhite
Even felt it until about 5 minutes later when the initial adrenaline wore off. And BOY did I feel it.
Angrar
Immediately after a huge traumatic event like that he's probably completely out of it and on autopilot for like 10 seconds after the clip
Ninjainslippers
I'm sure once that adrenaline wore off he had a moment of "oh fuck ow I need to see a doctor immediately."

Damn. I would have been a sack of shattered bone splinters. Well, assuming they didn’t fly out of my body.

I heard that the police didn't believe him and he had to get the CCTV from the bar? haha

Got hit by a purple bus and walked into purple turtle. Nice coincidence hope he doesn't got too many long term effects.
Ryebread91
Geeze. He goes to help the guy after hitting him and gets robbed too.

Instant karma (busma?)

Can we talk about the name of the bar? The purple turtle

WarlockSniper
"Fuck that, I need a FUCKING drink!"
scojbo
Entire article covers the PUNISHMENT of the bus driver and spends like one line on the victim. Fractures, but is he ok? Lawsuits? Details?
Shineupordown
8 months for attempted murder ...hmmm seems too little
redpandabanana
I’m sure there is some head trauma as well. Those go undiagnosed for a long time. Basically his brain did a sudden jolt to his back skull
megodk
This is the UK, not the US. Dude got a criminal sentence, probably had some insurance payout to the dude but honestly, non of our business
whitebbwolf
roight. where´s the SUN when you need juicy details about poor sods who ad orrible shit happend to?
ge0rd1eb4lls
Yeah we don't milk it anywhere near as badly as other parts of the world. Dude probably loved having a story for the pub.
LittleWheelsAndCactuss
Loved it so much he walked right into the Purple Turtle to start telling it
megodk
It'll likely save him quite a few drinks in the future
