Thats why I hate dismounting from curbs, seen too many lads wreck their belly pans.

I did a good one coming off a kerb. Half way down I stopped cos a car was coming. Couldn't get my foot down because I was too far off the kerb. Nothing worse than trying to get your foot down and you feel fresh air where you expect to feel solid ground

Most of those could be avoided if the pickup was down the drive a little bit to lower the angle between the ramps and the back of the bed.
Sit the truck facing from the kerb 90º and you will lose at least 4-6" in height, which makes a big difference in the angles.
Still makes for entertainment though.
I have seen a few bikes go through back windows of pickups as well.
Trailers are a much safer job.

The dumbest thing about all but 2 of those clips is that there are a bunch of people around filming, but none helping..... 3 people could load a bike in easily.

LOL, did something similar on the FZ6 leaving the garage after getting a new rear tyre put on. It was raining heavy and there was puddles every where, except the one puddle I went to put my foot down was a f*&$%ing pot hole, had to push the bike off myself, mortified!

I know a guy that ended up with horrific injuries after reversing out of a space and stepping into some kind of drain/ manhole thing that's cover was broken or missing. Look where you leap!

Suggested video, most look sore.

4:30, This is why you should ATGATT, for stupid little **** like that.

Edit:/
Actually reminds me of this post on Reddit/motorcycles
Really makes you think before gunning it as the light goes green.

There is, putting your foot down on solid ground, only to realise instantly that its loose gravel, twisted my knee something fierce that day. Fazer + Pillion + slight incline of dirt/gravel.

It could happen to a bishop.

I was at a rally one time with a GSX-R750L. Not too long after getting there, riding gear off, tent set up, decided to move the bike about ten feet to a better position. Of course my left trouser leg gets caught on the footpeg and I don't notice until I go to put my foot back down. Tim-BAAAAAARRRRR!!!

I used to rent a house in a different part of town a good few years back. Driving one of those Shocking Pink YZFs with a stage-I EXUP engine in it. I used to bring it round the back and over the lawn to secure it to a concrete post. One wet Winter the lawn was a quagmire of muck and the front disappears from under me, and down the whole lot goes. I ended up trapped under the sodding thing be the leg until Mrs. Goose came home twenty minutes or so later and rousted out a couple of neighbour's youngfellas to lift it offa me.

Why do none of these people think of putting down two more planks either side for their feet.

Most of them couldn't be saved that way either, once the frame or engine cases out the whole bike is balancing on a small area and becomes very unstable.
The centre of gravity is transferred to the frame rail.
