A Russian motorcyclist pulled off an astonishing great escape in a real life aerial stunt.
A video of the amazing brush with death - showing the biker perched between two moving cars - has become a huge internet hit throughout the country after it was uploaded by a driver from the city of Kaliningrad in north-western Russia.
Biker Trifon Uvarov, 32, can be seen colliding at speed side on with a moving car as they both try to get over a crossroads at the same time.
Then as Uvarov comes off the bike and cartwheels over the roof of the car, he crashes into a second motor travelling alongside the vehicle he has just hit.
Witness Leo Vasiliev - who shot the video - said: "It looked for certain that he was going to get crushed between the two cars."
He added: "But instead he landed on the roofs, right in the middle of them and he managed to shoot along the gap before flying off the bonnets like he was on a children's toy slide.
"If that had been timed worse he'd have been dead for sure. He should go for a new career as a stuntman."
Police say stunned Uvarov survived with just a cuts, bruises and minor fractures.
Police spokeswoman Larisa Kharlamova said: "He was extremely lucky not to have been seriously injured. Most motorcyclists aren't so lucky when they take on a car.
"Clearly the drivers of the vehicles, either the Audi and a Mercedes car or the biker, rushed the traffic lights on amber when they should have been waiting.
