No protective gear whatsoever, flip-flops, and shorts. Darwin award nominee for sure.
I can't freeze frame the video, but I think that poor idiot is short part of his left leg as he goes flying. I feel sorry for his cameraman/friend who heard his last words, "Hey, hold my beer and watch this".

Nope, MG; all major body parts were attached and remained so ... although at the very least he probably ended up with a case of road rash that could win major prizes. Here's a slightly longer view of the crash (and aftermath).
Notice too how he was not the only idiot who was doing this; looks like there were at least three or four of these Darwin Award wannabes out there. -"BB"-

Thanks for the extended version BB. Indeed, he hit the ground intact. Still not right bright.
Obviously there was a camera man involved, not unlike all those "reality shows".
