Re: [video] Disturbing Motorcycle crash (aftermath
quote:
I lost a friend in a motorcycle accident around this time last year.
He was going too fast and the girl that pulled out in front of him to make a left didn't clear the intersection in time for him to get by.
T-Boned, and that was the end.
Here's what I have to say on the subject:
Yes, motorcycles can be dangerous.
So can cars, horses, bikes, and feet.
Sometimes people die doing nothing wrong.
Sometimes people die and it is absolutely their fault without question.
Hug your family, kiss your kids, and tell your significant others that you love them as often as you can remember to say the words. Just because you woke up today and the sun was shining, doesn't mean that there aren't clouds on the horizon. Anything can happen at any time. Be thankful for what you have, pray for the people involved in that video and hope there are no clouds up ahead for any of you that are reading this.
And with that fine thought, the thread should really be closed now. |

Re: [video] Disturbing Motorcycle crash (aftermath)..
said by jjjayb  :said by Tommyastro :I always find it funny when people say "I'll never ride a motorcycle cause I know someone who died in a bike wreck" yet the same people would never give up driving a car when a loved one dies in a car wreck. Because the odds are many times as great to die from an auto crash. Motorcycles have no protection other than the helmet, and if you want to call your riding leathers protection. --

Re: [video] Disturbing Motorcycle crash (aftermath
I ride not for a living but in the last three months there have been 4 deaths and it is a cage making left or right turns in front of someone. Not to mention the pulling out in front of you, going over the line, and general "I am bigger than you attitude." |

The motorcycle guy is dead. This accident happened in Romania.
Based on the Hwy. code there, and if the signs are not requiring otherwise, the vehicle coming from the RIGHT - has priority to enter an intersection / junction (even if there are no signs). The vehicle is hit on the right, which leads me to think that it didn't gave way to the motorcycle. On the other hand, the motorcycle, based on the size of the impact on the car, was speeding. Apparently the mother of the driver is also not breathing. Nasty accident, and I think the driver of the car will go to jail any way.

said by RacerChuck :About 15 years ago, I started to race a KZ900 with my Buick Grand National, but took my foot out of it at about 70 MPH after it was clear the bike was way faster than me. The guy on the bike continues to accelerate hard and tries to beat a light that I saw turn to yellow. I estimate he was probably doing about 120 MPH when He T-Bones a Poor lady in a Pontiac Grand Am who never saw him coming. Both of them were killed, and the Pontiac was bent in half as if it slid sideways into a telephone pole. The wreckage looked alot like the one in that video, except the rider was almost unrecognizable. Me thinks you just admitted to being an accessory in a manslaughter case and I know in some states there is no statute of limitations on manslaughter.
Hmm....be careful what you say. |

Re: [video] Disturbing Motorcycle crash (aftermath)..
I am surprised this thread is still open. 
To me, I think the biker guy and that old woman were both dead. It's weird, it looks like rigamorits already started to set in on the biker guy but I don't think it can happen that fast. |

Re: [video] Disturbing Motorcycle crash (aftermath
said by Omega :That's country's emergency services must really suck. At least 7 minutes went by, and you couldn't even hear sirens at 7:14 of the video. It looked like a less-populated area, but given the amount of traffic passing by, they could not have been to far from a populated place. Well I think usual respones time for Fire and EMS to respond here in America is about 4-7 minutes depending on location. I am a volunteer firefighter and that is our usual respones time to roll a truck. Usually cops are on location first.
Also by the looks of the video the accident just happend like a minute or two before the guy started filming, the engine on the bike was still smoking. And given the rural location it would take some time for help to get there. It always seems to take forever when you are there waiting too.

Yeah no kidding..
You would have better luck getting help in the middle of a desert or on some remote island.

There are several points in the video where you can see that the guy's face is really f-ed up and swollen. Also his entire right side is deformed. The only thing keeping him in one piece is his power-ranger suit. That video even bothered me. --

They show far worse videos in some driving classes, this type of thing teaches people to slow down (especially when there are other cars).

This thread should be deleted... No point in looking at a video of a dead body lying on the ground... I doubt his loved ones would allow it if they could do anything about it.
