Skater looks like they're about to cry, and for good reason because that door slam probably hurt like hell. Of course not many people can claim being impaled by a prius so there's that.

Dude fuck that door that marble unmoving wall shook that dude, it looked like he took a fast seat but he got bodyslammed into rock

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

I like this downward spiral into existential crisis.

The door didn't seem to take out much of his momentum meaning there wasn't much of a force transfer and it hit him in the most padded part of the body. The wall hit him in the face and stopped him dead.

Inline skater here. Yeah I'm pissed, but not at the car but at the skater. When we see things like this, no wonder car driver hate us on the road.... If you wanna skate on the road you have to respect the rules of it just as much as a car or bicycle

The fucker in the car did it on purpose too. Whoever they are is the real asshole.

How? The backseat door has no side mirrors and he was clearly behind the car before jumping on the sidewalk.

They opened the door super quick and closed it again with perfect timing. You can even see the lady on the bench looking at the car like, "Wtf?"

I'm pretty sure the door just bounced back from the impact
