Being a passenger on a motorcycle can be a bit of a scary experience, as you constantly feel like you’re about to fall off. So that’s why holding on tight is recommended.

Sadly for this kid, he wasn’t holding on tight enough…

This video from Japan starts off normal enough as the camera car prepares to take off from the lights. However, the driver of the car, who’s listening to the Christmas jingle ‘Joy to the World’, is about to capture a little kid falling off the back of a motorcycle.

The biker with the kid in tow, obviously takes off from the lights a little too fast, and his kid falls backwards landing right on his head.

Thankfully, everything looks okay as the kid gets up and runs straight over to the side of the road. It looks as though the father doesn’t notice that he’s childless right away, but thankfully he realises and pulls over a bit further up. Maybe he just wanted to relive his youth.

Remember kids, always wear your helmet and hold on tight.
