He took the blame for the accident saying there was no problem with the bus brakes and thanked the "hand of God" for saving his life.

He told F5 News: "I take responsibility for everything. I went to the bus company so that the driver would not be penalised. There was no problem with the brakes.?He did what he could and I acted wrong. It's a stunt I always do, but this time it almost turned into an accident, and it wasn't serious because the hand of God was there."

"I didn't feel anything with the knock. I was hit through my own fault and a miracle of God took place there. God acted at that time and protected me," he added.?
