A bicyclist in California was enjoying a nice ride when, all of a sudden, a deer darts into his path, causing him to crash. Of course, this scary experience was all captured on video. This is insane!

Silas Patlove posted the video on his YouTube channel of him cruising down a hill, when a deer decided to bolt out in front of him. Silas had no time to react.

"Fly6 video of a surprise crash on Alexander Ave heading towards Sausalito, CA. Although I don't remember it, I landed on my back, and hit the back of my Giro helmet, which probably saved me from serious brain injury. Although I had a mild concussion with a bit of memory loss around the event, I am very grateful to have escaped feeling only a little banged up. I cannot speak to the deer's injuries. Also, thank you very much to the folks who stopped to help."

Luckily, the dude was wearing his helmet or this might have been a different story.

Now, if this were to happen in Texas, you would have seen the bike rider strap the deer on his bike and carry on like nothing happened.
