Pax Jolie-Pitt, the son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has once again made headlines due to another e-bike accident, igniting fresh concerns about his safety. On Friday, Pax was involved in yet another mishap, this time crashing his BMX-style electric bike through the busy streets of Los Feliz, Los Angeles, mere months after escaping from a serious crash.
This most recent incident reportedly occurred when Pax, aged 21, was fooling around on his e-bike, riding with no hands shortly before he collided with the passenger door of a car. Eyewitnesses described the scene to TMZ, stating he appeared uninjured after the crash and showed no signs of panic. Pax was seen speaking with the occupants of the vehicle and quickly readjusting his handlebars before riding off again.
The alarming nature of Pax's recent crash is amplified by the fact it marks his second encounter with serious injury on the same e-bike. Back in July 2024, he had been hospitalized after another collision, this one much more severe. At the time, Pax was reportedly riding without wearing a helmet when he struck the back of a car at a red light, leading onlookers to fear for his life. Fortunately, he survived significant head trauma but underwent intense medical care due to the concerns of possible minor brain bleeding.
Family and close friends remain increasingly worried about Pax's reckless biking habits. Earlier sources described his habit of riding without head protection even after such a close call with death. A family source voiced their gratitude, stating, “He and his mother were deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.”
Despite Pax being seen wearing his helmet during Friday's crash, the pattern of his accidents has led to widespread criticism on social media, with many issuing sharp remarks categorized as 'rich kid problems.' Online observers have taken the opportunity to express their concerns, portraying his accidents as symptomatic of risky behavior associated with youth and privilege.
After his hospitalization last summer, Pax’s loved ones expressed deep concern over his propensity to overlook safety precautions. They pointed out the gravity of his bike riding as it brings not just danger to himself but to others on the road as well. Sources familiar with the family dynamics have labeled Pax's biking habits as increasingly bothersome, noting the repeated calls for him to adopt safer riding practices.
Despite these warnings, Pax has been seen continuing to engage in such reckless riding behaviors, which has left his family and friends uneasy about his awareness of potential risks. Some close to him made comments reassuringly after the Friday incident, reporting Pax's demeanor during the aftermath showed calmness, which some interpreted as him having learned from his previous accident.
The interactions witnessed post-accident were described as calm, with the involved car's occupants opting for dialogue instead of confrontation—indicating Pax's demeanor may have improved since previous episodes. These observed changes, though subtle, have provided glimmers of hope to those concerned about his welfare.
Nevertheless, as scrutiny continues to follow Pax after these two incidents, the chatter around his biking habits and what they signify seems to grow louder. Friends have voiced their thoughts, highlighting their apprehensions about Pax's current choices—dedicating their concern to what they perceive as reckless abandon on his part.
The mixed reactions from the public showcase the complex interplay of celebrity life, youth, and risk-taking behavior. With both admiration and criticism directed at Pax for his lifestyle choices, it's clear he stands at the center of discussions, not just because of who he is but also due to how he navigates the perils of adolescence under the spotlight.
Moving forward, it remains to be seen whether Pax will reassess his e-bike riding methods and take heed of the alarms raised by those who love him. Will his experience of witnessing such close calls with danger shift his perspective on safety? Only time will tell, but for now, he remains the subject of public interest, scrutiny, and, hopefully, reflection.
