Motorcyclist Who Jumped Over 60 Freeway Hurt in Another Stunt

A motorcyclist who drew social media attention across Southern California and prompted an investigation by the California Highway Patrol was critically hurt in another dangerous stunt.

The first stunt captured on video March 3 showed the 24-year-old San Clemente motorcyclist jumping over the 60 Freeway as cars passed underneath him.

He was identified by a friend as Kyle Katsandris. Simi Valley police have not yet confirmed his identity to NBC4.

The wild stunt video was viewed hundreds of thousands of times, and prompted an investigation by the California Highway Patrol.

"We hope to never see this again," said Caltrans spokeswoman Terri Kasinga at the time of the first incident. "It was illegal and dangerous to motorists. It could have been a tragedy."

But authorities did see it again, as Simi Valley police reported Monday.

Sunday a motorcyclist crashed in the 500 block of W. Los Angeles Avenue while attempting a planned off-road stunt, police said.

The rider went flying over a steep hill, lunched into the air, and crash-landed on the other side.

"He called me last week, asking me about this jump. And I told him, 'Uh ...you know, it's big,'" his friend Colin Morrison said.

The rider was critically injured when he hit a bump at the top of the first hill, Morrison said.

Ten years ago, Morrison said he was one of the very few to nail the Los Angeles Avenue jump, which sends the rider flying over railroad tracks.

He said he did it three times - twice over a moving train.

There are now numerous "get well" tributes on Katsandris' Instagram account after the dangerous jump.

Colin's father, John Morrison, questioned all of the risky jumps.

"I told Colin just a little while ago -- I said, 'What if Kyle dies? Was it worth it?' And Colin says, "Yeah, I think it was. Look at how cool it is,'" John said.

When the first jump happened, and the video began getting hundreds of thousands of views on social media, Caltrans officials said they blocked access to the makeshift dirt ramps in Riverside in order to prevent would-be copycats.

It wasn't clear what action authorities would take in the secondary incident.

The first jump broke a few misdemeanor laws, including trespassing on state property, and was reckless endangerment while operating a motorized vehicle, due to the fact that the rider jumped over a freeway, CHP told NBC4 Southern California.

Where's the latest video for this self-centered douchebag?

You did it all for a video, douchebag, so let's see your douchebag video.

I despise these people. Truly, I do.

I would bet that we taxpayers will be picking up the pieces---I mean tab---for putting Humpty Davidson back together again.

I think we want to see the ass-busting video. Yeah...not a big fan of these dare-devil, life-tempting, thrill-seeking idiots. JMHO...not judging.

Reports are he was busted up pretty badly...

For fuck's sake.

I cannot fully express the contempt I hold for these attention-seeking morons.

All of these fools need to get together for a big festival and try to outdo each other. We could accelerate the pace at which they are being removed from the gene pool, because right now it's just not happening quickly enough.

Maybe call it The Darwin Derby?

Come on, show us the video. What happened to "how cool it would be, even if he dies"?

Stupid fucking assholes

Seems the problem solved itself. The taxpayers better not see one cent spent on this knucklehead's recovery.

Even if the taxpayers don't, his insurance company will. Can we make stupidity a pre-existing condition?

When will we see the “But what he was doing wasn’t dangerous” response?

Although I actually read that exact statement after someone was killed doing a stunt, it usually shows up when it was successful. And then it’s accompanied with something along the lines of how experienced and skilled he is and knows exactly what he’s doing. Up until something like this.

You assume he has insurance!

Given his history, what insurance company would even talk to him?

Or, how many megabucks would he have to pay for said insurance?

This will end up a charity case.

I'd say it's far from certain that he would have purchased coverage due to a history of irresponsible behavior. On the other hand, I don't recall health insurance having exclusions for dangerous activities the way life and disability do.

At said festival, I would be in a lawn chair with a cold beverage rooting them on to do the stupidest stunts they could. Maybe that would accelerate the process. Hahahaha.

I imagine that health insurance to cover injuries from something like that is the last thing that guy thought he needed. I’m sure he was so confident of his abilities that he would have considered it a waste of money even if it crossed his mind. A professional who was doing dangerous stuff to put food on the table might be smart enough to consider the possibilities, but someone like that?

24 years old looking for a "cool factor", looking for the excitement factor in his life.

Try doing something worthwhile in your life for "excitement". Try putting 70 pounds on your back and hiking thru water for days on end waiting for someone to jump out of the jungle and shoot you.

He's "only" 24 so he's qualified under mommy and daddy's plan

Darwin is working overtime to try to get another win

The nature of an entertainment culture is that the bar for getting attention keeps getting raised. I have noticed on Youtube a bunch of videos lately of people hanging off the roofs of buildings, or balconies, 20 or 30 stories high. So of course, inevitably, one of these attention whores will become a big splat.
