OT - Why you should always wear a crash helmet

[Roberto]

This is a truly amazing set of pictures that proves the benefits of a motor cycle helmet .

Safety First - Read Text First - it's unreal!!!!!!! Pass the pain killers!

Investigators say evidence shows the motorcyclist was going about 120 miles
per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a
quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his
rig and found the motorcyclist unconscious but still alive at the back
of the truck.

"The truck driver was not hurt", says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said
that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by
another truck".

Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.'

Motorcyclist eventually made a full recovery in hospital.

Lucky he was wearing a helmet!!!

I remember seing this on another site,and dident even bother reading it cause i thought he was a gonner!!!

The crash helmet definatly played its part in saving him,but i think a crash investagator would describe it as a FFFFing MIRIACLE !!

One very lucky guy!! i remember thinking it was staged aswell it just looks?? not qiute possible?? it just looks wrong!!

I'm with annon here...


A bloke has his head in a lorry... only being supported by his head and neck!



Think about it...



If he wasn't already dead... he is now cos in that possision he is hanging himself.



This is either fake or he did live. There is no way he would be left there with no one around him!!

I have to say the only real reason there'd be no one around him would be if he was dead, if you think about the alledged speed of the impact then i dont think his neck would have survived the impact. If you look how much energy was absorbed by the bike it isn't looking good for the rider

bit morbid really but when these sort of photos are taken it's more than likely for the coroner rather than anything else.

I hope i'm wrong though, i never like seeing a fellow biker hurt.

Odd timing as one of my best mates has just got out of the hospital after an incident where he broke his leg, funnily enough his bike doesn't look all that different to that wreck...

If you look on the close-up pic, there's blood splatter that must have happened on impact. For such a wound to splatter that quick must have been pretty serious.

I think he's either dead or it's fake.

Blood, Brains and sh!t over the back of the wagon...

Line of blood and snot where his feet have dragged along the road...

May be faked, but a lot of thought must have gone into it...

You can't fake the large brown smelly stain on his bike seat though, that would be ultimate proof.

 

[Buzz]

it does look a bit sus, i'd have to agree.. i'd think that he'd be dead, as horrible as that sounds, for there to be no people actually helping him, supporting his weight etc...

Pedestrians are normally killed by impacts with cars at 40mph or more. Thus a biker doing 120, hitting a moving truck, probably hit it with an effective speed of 60mph. Bear in mind that his bike weighs about 150kilo's and would have been crushing him into the lorry too...

I'm over 50 and in need of an eye test pretty soon....but I can see a trail leading up to his right heal.

Wanna borrow my specs?

although the forks on the bike are dented and scraped i would av thought they wold be pretty bent but i think they look quite straight considering the spped of impact the front wheel would be first to hit truck then bend back
