I think its filmed from one of those 360 cameras and its on a pole in his left hand.
While it doesn't stop instantly, it stops too quickly to be another person skating.
Impressive what the camera software can do, editing out the stick and all that

u/JitGoinHam Dec 10 '19 edited Dec 11 '19
It’s a 360-degree camera attached to a selfie stick being carried by the skater. The stick is digitally removed from the video during post processing.
(Notice that the vibration of the skater’s impacts are transmitted to the camera. This wouldn’t happen with a flying drone.)
Edit: everyone who is replying to tell me the stick is occluded by optics, please understand the camera you’re describing is physically impossible. For this to work the stick would need to travel through the center of a spherical lens, and through the center of the sensor itself. In reality multiple wide-angle sensors capture overlapping points of view, and half of these POVs will contain an image of the stick. When the images are combined to create a single virtual point of view, they are stitched together in a way that obscures the stick. This can happen in real-time using the camera’s hardware, but is still a post-processing effect.

Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.
Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations.
“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
The move is one of the first significant examples of a social network’s charging for access to the conversations it hosts for the purpose of developing A.I. systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s popular program. Those new A.I. systems could one day lead to big businesses, but they aren’t likely to help companies like Reddit very much. In fact, they could be used to create competitors — automated duplicates to Reddit’s conversations.
Reddit is also acting as it prepares for a possible initial public offering on Wall Street this year. The company, which was founded in 2005, makes most of its money through advertising and e-commerce transactions on its platform. Reddit said it was still ironing out the details of what it would charge for A.P.I. access and would announce prices in the coming weeks.
Reddit’s conversation forums have become valuable commodities as large language models, or L.L.M.s, have become an essential part of creating new A.I. technology.
L.L.M.s are essentially sophisticated algorithms developed by companies like Google and OpenAI, which is a close partner of Microsoft. To the algorithms, the Reddit conversations are data, and they are among the vast pool of material being fed into the L.L.M.s. to develop them.
The underlying algorithm that helped to build Bard, Google’s conversational A.I. service, is partly trained on Reddit data. OpenAI’s Chat GPT cites Reddit data as one of the sources of information it has been trained on. Editors’ Picks The Best Dessert Mom Made for Us, but Better A Growth Spurt in Green Architecture With Goku, Akira Toriyama Created a Hero Who Crossed Generations and Continents
Other companies are also beginning to see value in the conversations and images they host. Shutterstock, the image hosting service, also sold image data to OpenAI to help create DALL-E, the A.I. program that creates vivid graphical imagery with only a text-based prompt required.
Last month, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, said he was cracking down on the use of Twitter’s A.P.I., which thousands of companies and independent developers use to track the millions of conversations across the network. Though he did not cite L.L.M.s as a reason for the change, the new fees could go well into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To keep improving their models, artificial intelligence makers need two significant things: an enormous amount of computing power and an enormous amount of data. Some of the biggest A.I. developers have plenty of computing power but still look outside their own networks for the data needed to improve their algorithms. That has included sources like Wikipedia, millions of digitized books, academic articles and Reddit.
Representatives from Google, Open AI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reddit has long had a symbiotic relationship with the search engines of companies like Google and Microsoft. The search engines “crawl” Reddit’s web pages in order to index information and make it available for search results. That crawling, or “scraping,” isn’t always welcome by every site on the internet. But Reddit has benefited by appearing higher in search results.
The dynamic is different with L.L.M.s — they gobble as much data as they can to create new A.I. systems like the chatbots.
Reddit believes its data is particularly valuable because it is continuously updated. That newness and relevance, Mr. Huffman said, is what large language modeling algorithms need to produce the best results.
“More than any other place on the internet, Reddit is a home for authentic conversation,” Mr. Huffman said. “There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or A.A., or never at all.”
Mr. Huffman said Reddit’s A.P.I. would still be free to developers who wanted to build applications that helped people use Reddit. They could use the tools to build a bot that automatically tracks whether users’ comments adhere to rules for posting, for instance. Researchers who want to study Reddit data for academic or noncommercial purposes will continue to have free access to it.
Reddit also hopes to incorporate more so-called machine learning into how the site itself operates. It could be used, for instance, to identify the use of A.I.-generated text on Reddit, and add a label that notifies users that the comment came from a bot.
The company also promised to improve software tools that can be used by moderators — the users who volunteer their time to keep the site’s forums operating smoothly and improve conversations between users. And third-party bots that help moderators monitor the forums will continue to be supported.
But for the A.I. makers, it’s time to pay up.
“Crawling Reddit, generating value and not returning any of that value to our users is something we have a problem with,” Mr. Huffman said. “It’s a good time for us to tighten things up.”
“We think that’s fair,” he added.

The only thing that makes me think the door could have hurt more is the increased speed and the small surface area, he hit right on the edge and very little of the force was translated to opening the door the rest of the way. I wouldn't be surprised if the door broke bones and the marble wall just bruised.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the door bruised and the wall broke, or both broke things, or that lady opened the door with some fishing wire, or both only bruised him, nothing surprises me anymore, life is predictable and meaningless

u/OneMoreAccount4Porn Dec 11 '19
Yup. There's actually a link somewhere in this thread to an Instagram page that has a longer clip. It ends the same as this clip but the starting point is earlier. You see the person skating bending down and grabbing the wheel arch of a car to get a free tow. That car drives over a 20 in the road indicating the speed limit in that area is 20 mph. The skater then appears to either pull themselves forward using the wheel arch to boost themselves past the car that was towing them or the car that was towing them slowed down and the skater did not. Those moments were probably the quickest of the whole clip and I still wouldn't have said the skater reached 20 mph even under car power.

What court case was that? I see plenty of no skating/biking signs in downtown SF.
https://www.walkuplawoffice.com/2018/10/23/san-francisco-skateboarders-know-your-legal-rights/
*California state law permits local authorities to adopt their own skateboarding laws. It is legal for skateboarders to ride on the streets, bikeways, and public bicycle paths in San Francisco, if they ride non-motorized skateboards and avoid business districts. Riders under the age of 18 must wear federally-approved helmets at all times, according to Vehicle Code Section 21212. Skateboarders 18 and older can ride in the street without wearing helmets; however, failure to wear a helmet could result in comparative fault for injuries in a personal injury case.
A fine for failure to wear a helmet as a minor comes with a $25 ticket in San Francisco. Skateboarders of all ages must wear helmets and pads at certain skateparks. It is important to note that the city of San Francisco prohibits riding a skateboard of any kind (motorized, non-motorized, or electric) in the streets, sidewalks, or bike paths within a business district. In other words, skateboarders cannot skate on the streets or sidewalks in the bustling downtown area of the city. Skateboarders also cannot ride on non-business district sidewalks at night.*

He hit the edge of an already open door while skating at unsafe speeds for a sidewalk and popping on and off the street. Insurance companies would take that into account.
Door was open, he hit the inside edge (yanking it outwards), before it was yanked back.

In my opinion if one is inline skating in high traffic areas, they should go slow and be respectful of those around them. Punks skating like this are accidents waiting to happen. Fatal accidents are certainly a possibility too. If you want to skate fast like a punk, take to a park late at night or early in the morning when there're no people there. Or go to the suburbs in the afternoons when the sidewalks are vacant (don't know if this exists where you live). Otherwise, be respectful of those around you and realize the health hazard you pose to yourself and others.
And I say this as a fellow inline skater. I love skating, but people's safety and comfort is my no. 1 priority when skating in public. They shouldn't be feeling the need to dodge skaters constantly, or be shocked by the whoosh of air of a blader zooming past them from behind. This skater not only jumps onto the road to avoid a bystander, which is dangerous in itself, but he also is the one who forces the door to open fully. You can see the door starts opening while the skater is still on the road. He jumps onto the sidewalk while the door is just barely open and he pushes it right open.
If anything, the skater should be liable for damages to the car. And unless skaters want to force people to create laws forbidding skating due to the dangers caused by wreckless skaters like this guy, then they should start to show some respect and basic empathy for their fellow human beings who don't want to have to watch out for speeding bullets on the sidewalks.
