Good afternoon, I reach you from a Tv show from the Canary Islands called "Oh! Qué pasó?". We just saw this lovely video, and we were wondering if you could give us permission to use it for our next programme.

The don’t make them like this guy anymore.

[@heidilacy9812]

Where was his helmet?

[@georgejacob3162]

No tandem passenger wears helmets. If someone vomits then wearing a helmet will be extremely unpleasant.

[@debidonovan2385]
