A shocking video has gone viral on social media showing a man who, despite being injured in a road accident involving a bus, prioritizes grabbing a bottle of beer over seeking medical attention .

Simon Smith was walking along Gun Street in Reading, UK, when a bus suddenly hit him from behind, pushing him several meters along the pavement.

In a surprising twist, Smith got up, dusted himself off and calmly walked into a nearby pub. According to pub owner Daniel Fraifeld, Smith “got up, brushed himself off and just went for a pint to relax”. Later, an ambulance arrived to take him to the control.

The incident took place on June 24 and the CCTV footage recently surfaced on social media. One user shared the video on X, commenting: “The man who got hit by a bus and immediately went back to the pub is strong! Beer is very important”.

“He’s been given a second chance at life. That’s worth a few drinks,” one user commented.

“That guy walked into that bar, sat down, ordered a beer and said… ‘You’re not going to believe this!'” added another.

“This clip is like a rollercoaster. The way he got hit and then walked into the building like nothing happened is the best part, I really hope he’s ok,” wrote a third user.

“This is the hand of God saying ‘it is not your day.’ That was worth a drink…definitely,” another user added.

“He hit the back of his neck really hard. That suggests a concussion tape shot,” said another user.

Some users expressed concern, speculating that adrenaline may have caused Smith to stand up, and feared that he might be more seriously injured than he realized. One user wrote: “This is just adrenaline; it might collapse once it goes inside’.

Another added: ‘His head hit hard enough to break the windscreen. He may not realize where he is and could be seriously injured.”

However, Mail Online clarified that Smith was examined at the hospital and fortunately did not suffer serious injuries. According to Fraifeld, he was “covered in scrapes and bruises, but was released without any lasting injury.”
