This is the page I swiped it from:

OMG! It's a good thing he let go of the handlebars.

Either way you look at it, that's gotta hurt. I do hope his pride was the only part of him that was badly damaged or broken.

Ouch! Another reason I think I'll stick with my top case with no saddle bags.

AH hahahahahah!!!!@#!@#!

This made my smile.
What an idiot or unlucky chap.
I am sure he is not very aware of his surroundings when he rides.

If you ride a "fat wide" bike with panniers, then you have to be ultra careful in "carpark" situations.
The repairs costs should be substantial.
Oh dear.
