Of the whole video I count two times where people rushed over to make sure everyone was OK. Bystanders just stood there or backed away..

Crazy

Ok, two questions after watching this video:

1) Are there no lights/stop signs controlling this intersection?

2) Does anybody drive/bike/walk with their heads up? Almost all of the reactions were post impact.

I did laugh when the car at the end went flying off the road into that building.

The one where the guy was just standing still, only to be hit anyways, was the most insane.

Should be noted that everyone is driving pretty slowly.. so collisions aren't as bad-ass.

Cue Asian driving jokes. WTF is wrong with that intersection. You would think people would just yield...

I find it hilarious how some of the pedestrians are worse than the drivers and yes, 2:05 is awesome!

Wow.. All I can say. You'd think that some of these cars would slam on the brakes or something to not hit the other car/pedestrians. Some of these look like the cars are actually trying to run down the pedestrians/bikers. I'm also amazed at how little damage there is to the cars.

Yah, that guy who was hit while just standing there was hilarious. Since there's no sound, we wouldn't know for sure. But I bet the guy in the car was honking at him to move, and buddy just ignored it, so the dude got pissed and decided to proceed anyways. I mean, there's no way that guy in the car didn't see that guy. He was in plain view.

It seems to be an international problem not just local.

Do all cars/mopeds/bicycles in China come with satellite TV or something, that's the most avoidable set of accidents I have ever seen in my life.

I've heard the peripheral vision theory, this video really makes you wonder.

Hard to believe Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan came from that gene pool. LoL
