Its hard not to laugh. Man, that guy went from scooter riding to sky diving to sailing all in a split-second.

I do feel for the guy.

It's to bad he didn't hit the water probably wouldn't have hurt as much

That's really not a scooter but a full on road bike something like this:

Judging from the park benches and trash cans, he was in an area meant for people on foot and not motor bikes. What I can't figure out is why he was being filmed?

You must know your bikes...that really looks like it. (especially the saddlebags.)

Something to keep in mind next time we are tempted to ride on the sidewalk or squeeze through the traffic barriers into a pedestrian area. Should have gotten a ticket for that one riding a Sport Touring bike in a pedestrian area. Clipped the post hard enough to rip the hard case off of its mounts. Count our blessings that there wasn't anyone in the boat at the time.

I have had the bike runaway off the side stand as well.
Luckily my reflexes were working that day and I did not run it into the back of the garage.
Also once when the bike had been running just for a few seconds I tried to wiggle the header to see if it was loose.not loose just HOT!!!

You'll get the hang of it, fixing a scooter is as easy walking on a bearskin rug.....With the Bear still in it.
