A dimwit pedestrian was unlucky not to be seriously injured after what appears to be a noble attempt at doing so.
Incredible dashcam footage taken in North Dublin shows the man jump out in front of a car suddenly before hitting the bonnet and sliding back onto his feet.
Despite the dangerous stunt, his injuries appear next to nil and he walks off so casually he doesn't seem to notice what had just happened.
The footage, which was taken on Santry Avenue, has gone viral over the past 24 hours and has been met with huge anger by those who suspect this might have been a botched attempt at getting a compensation payout.
Locals around North Dublin have been advised to be careful and keep an eye out for any suspected opportunists.
Last month it was revealed that the average cost of motor insurance in Ireland had risen by 42 percent over ten years.
This came despite a 2.5 percent decrease in individual claims and a 20 reduction in number of injury claims in total.
Last year gardai revealed that 3 percent of fraud investigations centre around bogus or exaggerated claims.
There were over 1,500 investigations conducted over 2019 while another study showed Ireland's courts are paying out way more than other countries when it comes to injury claims.
The average soft-tissue injury payout is just under €20,000 - four times more than the UK average.
