Respect to the dude though. A gentleman.

Fair play to grabbing his girl and 'saving' her, was like a Hollywood scene

Wow, he did it again? Almost a year ago to the day since the first time, looks identical too.

I'm pretty sure I said then what I'll say again now: what a plonker.

Sure, it's an instinctive reaction to try and protect her, but what's he doing? Grabbing her arm and creating a nice big lever to more easily snap both of their limbs. They're both going in more or less the same direction, will end up in much the same place anyway, and he's no more likely to be on a safe trajectory than she is.

Apologies for chatting in a video thread.

Some people never learn!

The thing that stuck out for me is, he immediately yanked her helmet down in order to straighten it - thought that was a big no-no with regard to stabilising the neck and spine?

I'd guess they aquaplaned, and he lost the front

She could do with a helmet that fits for a start.

I almost always ride with a rucksack, in the past when I've come off the rucksack just rips off.

In regards to what the guy did I'd say it's the right thing, protect her for when they hit the barriers (which they didn't). Don't over react about him moving the helmet or getting her to stand up, they didn't hit anything so wouldn't be hurt.

Watching this a few times over and I think he may have been concerned that she was going to slide off the road and into the verge, which potentially would have left her more open to injury.

Meh, you're all romantics.
He's spotted an opportunity for improvised body surfing but he couldn't clamber on top of her quick enough.
Should have gone quicker.
