:omg: :omg: :omg:

Ash how on earth did you walk away from that? lol
Jeez that was horrific..Had to be a set up - you couldn't walk away from that.
Do you where the pics were taken?

i wasnt in the stack lol! and nah it wasnt set up, it was that severe that they put it on show at a motor show to remind ppl how dangerous the road really is

:laugh: I was joking...knew you weren't in it LOL
But wow how could you walk away from that?

:wtf: That had to hurt!

We see a lot of accidents like that here in Australia on the News - usually cars or bikes under trucks. It's sad :sook:

All I can say is......"hopefuly, that was a parked car..."

:blink: :blink: :blink:

One of my in-laws just sent me the pics and a write-up in an e-mail so here is what it said.

holy shit
they guys brains were probably 100 feet away
if he was going that fast there is sufficient energy for your brain to break your skull and actually fly away
at least they didnt feel it

You reckon the driver walked away alive?








DONT think so :rip:

who knows if there was someone in it, all i know he got hit hard

The write-up said that both people in the car and the rider of the bike all died.

Don't give me that sh-t about reaction time if the idiot in the car had stopped at the intersection, reaction time wouldn't come into the equation. Seems to me car drivers the world over have no respect for bike riders.
Here in SA it happens a lot and the blame is always put on the biker.
90% of the time it's the fu--ing driver under the influence of liquor.
Once again I know speeding like that is negligent.

Im actually finding it hard to belive its all true...

Why would they parade something like that? There is an audieance their so it must be some kinda show? I cant see them doing that, thats like having no respect for the ppl that died in that crash......?

It could b all a fake?

i dont know
people say the trade center is a fake
theyr like "it exploded before plane hit it"
but anyone who knows anything about aerodynamics can tell u that there is about 2-5m of very high presure air at the front of a plane (supersonics are different)
so thats what made the glass explode :off: '
i still dont see them faking it
but how do u know the guy in the car wusunt on green and the rider ran a red???
il am saying is, the truths somewhere in between
in between the car and the bike in this case
there is some blame to fall on both i would guess
:rip: rip ppl tha died

Like for instance…how did they take the dead bodies out the car to clean any deposits without moving the position of the bike?

^^ good point.

this is off topic but that shows one of the reasons why i hate most new cars today they are acually made to crumble like that "to reduce the force of the impact on the ocupents" which i feel is a load of crap. if the car had a riged frame to support it it would not have just folded like that yes the rider of the bike would have still been killed instantly but if the ocupents in car car were wearing the proper saftey restaints in a car with a solid frame they would have suffered serious injury but would most stand a greater chance of living. i also agree with the comment that most car drivers dont give bikers the proper respect

The CFS (Country 'Volunteer' Fire Fighting Service) puts out alod car wrecks from recent fatalities or car bodies from wreckers around the highway here on public holidays or long weekends. Its to get people to realise they arnt invinsible.

I say its true. Not made up, and factual.

No offence aqua-pompiki, but thousands of hours of research has been done into car safety and design. The highest cause of death in a motor vehicle when they were first produced was of broken necks. The body of the car came out fine, and resisted the impact, but the soft bodied humans inside took the force of the impact. To have your car "crumble" and take the intial load of an impact has increased survival rates.

Just look at F1 cars. They use designs so the front end folds in, and takes ALOT of the force away from the driver. Another example is that famous NASCAR drier, Dale Earndheatr or something. He had a monster crash, and whilst his cars rollcage took the impact, his neck was broken from the his violent movement.

Tough frame or sot frame aquapom, those people were going to die. An impact from the side, at 155MPH is enough to break your neck. No one was going to walk away from that.

IMO, your coment of "i feel is a load of crap" statement about the body of cars is ill-placed. You should go to a few sites, and take a look at what kind of research that has gone on about this tyope of thing over the last number of decades.

I've actually seen an accident like that happen..

the guy on a bike was apparently going around 145mph and smoked a pick up turning left on a two way stop (the bike had the right of way)
The guy on the bike hit the drivers side door on the pick up and it was just scary as hell from then on the pickup driver was thrown from the truck and broke his back, legs, arms, and almost didnt survive. The motocyclist was just annihilated...

and to be honest... the truck was in worse condition than that picture that Ash posted. You couldnt even tell that there was a motor cycle...

Ill try to find a picture... the truck was cut in half and the front half is used for school safety and what not
definitely scarred me.... i will never EVER ride a bike for that reason...

dont let things like that stop you from riding its just most bikers dont get the respect that they diserve im planing to get my bike endorsment in the near future you just got to keep in mind that the way you drive isnt the only thing you have to worry about on a bike or in a car there are a lot of really stupid ppl out there that think the world stops for them and they dont have to follow the law or just dont pay attention
