Motorcycling brings with it an element of risk. That’s just something you have to accept when you’re much more exposed to the outside world, riding something which doesn’t stay up of its own accord. But, depending upon where you live in the world, there’s another hazard to bikers you might not have considered: jumping snakes.

This footage - shot in Lampang, Thailand - shows a biker dodging a snake as it tried to jump up and bite his right leg. Yep, snakes can jump, and it seems they’re quite happy going after fast-moving targets. Gulp.
