This is the remarkable moment a motorcyclist in India avoided a landslide by a matter of inches.

The dramatic footage, which was captured on Friday in Bilaspur District, Himachal Pradesh shows traffic stopped on a mountain road with debris from an earlier landslide strewn across the tarmac. Drivers are wisely waiting to see if any more landslides may be triggered.

One motorcyclist, however, decides to brave it and just as he crosses the debris from the earlier landslide, a huge mass of rock and mud falls onto the road, inches from his back wheel.

He was unhurt in the incident.
