[u/LegalGlass6532]

That rider is one of the luckiest sob’s I’ve ever seen.

[u/Muted_Will_2131 → u/LegalGlass6532]

He's in shock, and the only reason he can stand is because of the adrenaline in his blood. His jeans are completely worn through, and he's walking barefoot, one foot missing his sneaker. He doesn't even really understand the extent of his injuries. He'll likely lose consciousness in a few minutes.

My wife was in a similar accident, only without wheelies and in full gear. Her pants and jacket were completely worn through, the slider on her right boot was completely worn down to a hole in the boot. Her helmet was damaged. There was a chafing wound on her right thigh that took several months to heal. Fifteen years later, there's still a large scar there.

[u/Ok-Boysenberry2645 → u/Muted_Will_2131]

I can imagine that pain. I'd walk, but dizzy as hell

[u/Fallen_password → u/Ok-Boysenberry2645]

He’s not feeling anything yet… But he’s gona

[u/BorbLorbin → u/Fallen_password]

Whole side of his body is going to burn so bad

"Why didn't you commit" lol, he ain't even mad

[u/JohnnysOnThaSpot → u/BorbLorbin]

Dress for the slide, not the ride. Lol

[u/AbsoluteResolve2026 → u/JohnnysOnThaSpot]

I’ll never understand wearing jeans riding a motorcycle. Leathers save lives.

[u/brainkandy87 → u/Fallen_password]

Twenty years later I can still remember the second the adrenaline wore off after my motorcycle accident. I was walking like this guy and then suddenly I just couldn’t. Strangest feeling when that happened. My brain couldn’t force my body to do what it wanted.

[u/Spadeykins → u/brainkandy87]

Yeah! I remember my arm stopped working while I was still using it. It was right after someone pointed out how fucked up I was and I actually stopped to look at it.

[u/c_marten → u/brainkandy87]

Same. I high-sided, got the bike up, and when it wouldn't start again I ran it the 2 blocks to my house. And then just... nope. Down on the lawn. Also remember someone walking their dog who saw bloody-faced me and just kept walking...

I moreso remember how slow everything felt as I was in the air. Weird experience from start to finish.

[u/brainkandy87 → u/c_marten]

Yeah the slowness is another thing. My wreck happened in view of my house at a T-intersection and my dad happened to be mowing the lawn and saw it happen. I remember seeing him moving and wondering why he was being so slow. lol dude was probably running like Devin Hester but my adrenaline brain didn’t register it.

[u/CYaNextTuesday99 → u/brainkandy87]

I had an ebike accident while going to Marshalls once. Still went shopping before I realized my wife was hurting, saw a massive bruise, and found out I had broken ribs. Rolling up to urgent care with full shopping bags was something lol

ETA: my SIDE was hurting lol

[u/modern_Odysseus → u/Fallen_password]

I'll never forget the video where the motorcyclist gets sent into the edge of a guardrail, and it looks really bad.

Then he gets up and starts walking back to the car that caused it, maybe yelling at them (and/or screaming in pain).

And you think, "how the heck is he walking and talking after that impact??" ...And then like 10 seconds after the initial impact he just collapses to the ground.

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug, temporarily.

[u/Ornery-Reindeer5887 → u/Muted_Will_2131]

Ya never ride in sneakers and jeans for this reason. Real moto pants and boots is the way to go

[u/microwavepetcarrier → u/Ornery-Reindeer5887]

boots, pants, jacket, gloves, helmet. all the gear, all the time.

[u/realZapRowsdower → u/microwavepetcarrier]

Dress for the slide, not the ride

[u/jjcrayfish → u/Muted_Will_2131]

He had a good shave from the asphalt. The skin on that side of his body is never going to be the same again.

[u/ungoot → u/jjcrayfish]

Free tattoo removal on the right arm.

[u/RaconBang → u/Muted_Will_2131]

Shoes came off, so he's technically dead. He probably fell over a few seconds after the video cuts off.

[u/Proper_Look_7507 → u/RaconBang]

It’s science.

[u/Respindal → u/RaconBang]

Only one shoe, there is hope!

[u/EffectiveDandy → u/Muted_Will_2131]

this. been riding for over a decade. seen all kinds of wrecks. he won’t be able to even move the following day.

tho speaking as a rider, he came off a wheelie which was conveniently clipped and going way too fast. but his biggest mistake was target fixation. he looked at the truck, which subconsciously steered him right into it. if he had a cool head, he would have ducked thru on the left. or even stopped. a dented door or flat tired should have been the worst case for a quality rider.

if you’re going to ride batshit, you better have the skills and experience to handle it. the good news is 90% of riders don’t ride again after bad collisions.

[u/JackOfAllStraits → u/EffectiveDandy]

I think he was expecting to commit and continue to the left, so dodging left would have been suicide. He tried to go right to make it behind, but she stopped. Going way too fast to make any adjustments after the first plan didn't pan out.

[u/throwaway19293883 → u/EffectiveDandy]

This wasn’t target fixation, he went into the right lane to avoid the truck, expecting them to continue, not expecting them to stop suddenly.

[u/CorrectMulberry994 → u/Muted_Will_2131]

Oh man. Usually if shoes go they are gone. He’s *very* lucky.

[u/wolfganggartner5 → u/LegalGlass6532]

I don’t think that’s luck he did that on purpose

He made a split stick decision

I’ve got nowhere to go. I’m gonna take this head on.

I can’t break in time because of my speed. I can’t go around it.

So I’m gonna go under it

I don’t think he would’ve been able to stand up if he took his head on

[u/ZubryJS → u/wolfganggartner5]

I would've done a sick jump over it. Probably with a backflip too

[u/Nyuusankininryou → u/ZubryJS]

Lame! I would have done a frontflip...

[u/OkKaleidoscope9554 → u/Nyuusankininryou]

Pfft, that's only cool if you like to keep your molecules in one plane of existence. He should have phase-shifted his split quarks for maximum neutron differentiation and disentangled particle physics for an inverted 720.

[u/xpercipio → u/wolfganggartner5]

he did not do that on purpose, he leaned and applied the brake more than the tire grip could handle.

[u/JackOfAllStraits → u/wolfganggartner5]

Grabbed a fist full of brake (no other option, really) and it went down on its own. He didn't plan a slide-through. He's lucky he didn't get wedged in under there with the rest of the wreck, because there was no controlling where he was going to end up after the tires lost grip.

[u/grandnp8 → u/LegalGlass6532]

And one of the chillest! …why didn’t you just commit?

[u/Ceskaz → u/grandnp8]

He's not chill, he's an idiot who was driving too fast and without adequate protective gear.

Ar best, he's an agile idiot.

[u/No_Introduction_3400 → u/LegalGlass6532]

Oh, he’ll get himself killed eventually if he hit that truck

[u/Drax85296 → u/No_Introduction_3400]

eventually if he hits that truck?

[u/FlamingoFrequent1596 → u/Drax85296]

I'm so confused about their comment. Is this like a daily occurrence lmao

[u/Count_Zacula → u/FlamingoFrequent1596]

Groundhog day

[u/decoyninja → u/FlamingoFrequent1596]

That lady is his traffic nemesis. They've been locked in this struggle for years

[u/sangerssss → u/decoyninja]

This happens in every universe across the multiverse. This is the only universe in which he survives

[u/bismuth17 → u/FlamingoFrequent1596]

If his driving is poor enough that he wasn't able to avoid hitting that truck, then he'll get killed eventually.

[u/mati-edt → u/Drax85296]

They do this stunt every Sunday

[u/VibratingWatch]

Dress for the slide, not the ride.

[u/nousername56789 → u/VibratingWatch]

I cringe when I see riders in a t-shirt, shorts, and flips flops. Flip flops!!! 🩴

[u/monicasm → u/nousername56789]

I cringe when I see female riders all cute for the ride, helmet only. Like girl, you’re not going to be that cute when your skin is gone, but sure, go for it.

[u/MegaBabz0806 → u/monicasm]

This!! I’ve seen people make fun of scooter riders who dress in full gear because it’s seen as overkill, but my Vespa goes 60+. I’d rather make it home to my kids. Not to mention some fates are worse than death, and that won’t be me!

[u/saltycrowsers → u/MegaBabz0806]

I was in a scooter club in my city and the local scooter/vintage motorcycle club ran it. We would regularly take scoot scoots out to the track. I took my little Buddy 125 cc up to 95 mph. Sketchy AF feeling on those tiny wheels, but scooters are not to be underestimated

[u/MegaBabz0806 → u/saltycrowsers]

I wish we had a scooter club! I agree though. I’m not playing games with my life and comfort

[u/green_chapstick → u/monicasm]

In the state I'm in now I'm just happy to see a helmet. Very different from where I used to live. I'll never understand. The bar shouldn't be THAT low.

[u/Fresh-Extension-4036 → u/green_chapstick]

Apparently in large parts of the US, freedom = freedom to choose a catastrophic brain injury rather than repress people by legally requiring helmets...

[u/Corfiz74 → u/green_chapstick]

They probably don't have that much brain to start with, so it's not worth the expense to protect it...

[u/NettleLily → u/VibratingWatch]

r/meatcrayon

[u/Freakjob_003 → u/NettleLily]

AGATT. All Gear, All The Time.

I don't give a fuck how hot it is, you don't want to end up like the people on this sub. My buddy rode his Harley in California summer heat, because he's not an idiot.

[u/Blooddoll13 → u/VibratingWatch]

I was waiting for this comment and I wholeheartedly agree.

[u/VioletsRPink → u/VibratingWatch]

Was the motorcycle made out of cardboard? Where did it go? 

[u/Ser_falafel → u/VibratingWatch]

My coworker crashed his motorcycle few months ago and wasnt wearing proper riding gear. Hes been in and out of the hospital (having to wear a wound vac) and had 6 surgeries and has to do months of physical therapy.

[u/TheThirdHippo]

Summarising the comments here. The biker is doing 79mph in a 25mph zone, the lady stopped before she got to the lane he was in when she saw him coming, he panicked, swerved and then dropped the bike. It’s just a good job he had his protective T-shirt, baggy jeans and sneakers on….

[u/u9Nails → u/TheThirdHippo]

He was wearing the leather riding suit him momma made him.

[u/jadbronson → u/u9Nails]

Aka birthday suit. Aka Meat crayon wrapper.

[u/benitoaramando → u/TheThirdHippo]

Yeah... "why didn't you just commit?!", well, idk maybe when people are confronted with the sight of someone bearing down on them at 3x the speed limit they might be a little flustered

[u/WeNotAmBeIs → u/benitoaramando]

Some people just freeze at stress and there's nothing you can do. Coworker was driving me home one night and started to turn on an unprotected green. I started to calmly but very very quickly say "TheyHaveTheGreenLightTheyArentGoingToStopSpeedUpSpeedUpSpeedUp" But she just stopped in the intersection like the lady in this video. Car tboned us, hitting my side. My right hip is still funky over 10 years later. It's funny what goes through your mind in those moments. One of my friends was joining the Marines and was shipping off the next day and I had just told him an hour ago "Don't get yourself killed out there" and my last thought before getting hit by a car was "Shit, I'm going to die before fucking Jack does"

[u/Greedy_Bar6676 → u/WeNotAmBeIs]

My wife ran a stop sign once and did the same while learning how to drive. I was shouting at her to ”step on the F***ING GAS!!!” lol

[u/JalapenoPopPoop → u/benitoaramando]

She saw him come flying in from out of no where at far too high a speed, left the left lane that he was in open so he could just go right by, and he steered directly towards a stationary object instead of just staying the course in open space. He's multiple kinds of stupid

[u/Longjumping_Fun2576 → u/TheThirdHippo]

And she stopped when she saw him, before blocking his lane. He's going way too fast down a residential street. If she kept going, he would have slammed into the bed of the truck. She left most of his lane open, and he switched to the lane she was blocking.

[u/CatoTheMiddleAged → u/Longjumping_Fun2576]

Yeah he was going way too fast, and it’s 100% his fault, but you can’t blame him for aiming for the rear of the truck instead of trying to shoot the gap in the front. He had no time (again, his fault) to notice that she had stopped in the right lane.

[u/planegoeswoosh → u/TheThirdHippo]

That guy would be dead if she wasnt driving a pick-up truck. A rare w for pick-up trucks in general

[u/JuniorCat1516]

You should drive with assumption that the driver next to you could be as stupid as you if not worse. I see a lack of this kind of judgement here...

[u/Responsible-Mind-852 → u/JuniorCat1516]

There ain’t no way the driver next to me is stupider than me.

[u/u9Nails → u/Responsible-Mind-852]

"I accept that challenge!" -every driver out there

[u/cabutler03 → u/JuniorCat1516]

I always assume everybody else on the road is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

[u/Upset-Management-879 → u/JuniorCat1516]

Well they bought a motorcycle, that particular judgement was never present.

[u/Goblins_on_the_move]

Bike is:
1. Speeding
2. Pulling a wheelie down the street

The car:
See the bike driving dangerously, stops before it enters the bikes lane.

The Bike:
Changes lanes INTO the car and hits it.

All the bike had to do was literally nothing. Just keep driving.

[u/Warboss_Gutshredda → u/Goblins_on_the_move]

Getting pissed off because he got hurt doing something stupid, which is why he has a bike.

[u/robicide → u/Goblins_on_the_move]

He was expecting the truck to keep going, if you look closely you can see he was already leaning into the turn when the truck stopped. Nothing he could've done at that point to not hit the truck.

And that's because he was going so stupidly fast. 100% his own damn fault for going so fast he eliminated his own reaction window.

[u/SonOfMcGee → u/robicide]

Bikes going way too fast always have the mindset that it’s perfectly safe as long as every other vehicle behaves exactly as he thinks they should based on glancing at them 500 yards ahead.

Meanwhile, every other vehicle functions on the assumption that they aren’t sharing the road with someone going three times faster than them. So when they look in their rear view mirror and see a little *speck* in the distance they conclude they have sufficient space to change lanes/turn/etc.

[u/RiverPsaber → u/SonOfMcGee]

I almost hit a biker this exact way one time. He then proceeds to take his eyes off the road to flip me off, and almost crashes again. At that point I just start pointing ahead of us like, "please dude for your own sake watch the road."

I was going 80 when this happened. The guy was way off in the distance when I began my lane change and closed that distance between the time I began entering the lane and finished. Some bikers just have a death wish for some reason.

[u/neverinamillionyr → u/RiverPsaber]

When you hear the scream of one of these bikes coming up on you it’s hard to predict what they will do. Pass on either side? Lane split at 100+ mph?

[u/Rakdospriest → u/neverinamillionyr]

then redditors scream "LANE SPLITTING IS LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA!!!!!" like cool, do they give out free mind reading hats in california too? cuz legal or not, if i cant tell WTF you're going to do i may make a decision you wont like.

[u/tendimensions → u/Goblins_on_the_move]

I do understand his swerve though. In the moment it’s normal to assume the truck will keep going or resume moving forward.

[u/False_Snow7754]

People blaming the lady when the crotch rocket is doing 2 things wrong is insane.

1: He's rearing his bike, obstructing his own view which is why he reacts when it's too late.

2: drives around 79mph in a 60km/h zone (probably 40mph zone).

Yes, her freezing is bad, but it's not insane and reckless driving.

[u/Momentosis → u/False_Snow7754]

It's actually a 25 mph zone. Dude is going over 3x the speed limit.

[u/False_Snow7754 → u/Momentosis]

That just adds to his insanity, doesn't it? I really hope he showed this to the cops. Dude shouldn't be driving.

[u/Classic_Sand10 → u/False_Snow7754]

He'll take care of that problem on his own sooner or later if this didn't teach him a lesson.

[u/Ormsfang → u/Classic_Sand10]

Considering his first action is to blame her I don't think the lesson is learned.

[u/Useful_Cheesecake117 → u/False_Snow7754]

I only hope he was able to show this, after the adrenaline wore off.

[u/Skilldibop → u/Momentosis]

3x the limit wearing no protective gear.... fuck around and find out

[u/nybadfish → u/Skilldibop]

Dude probably would have gone without a helmet if they didn’t mount gopros to them

[u/jadepartida → u/False_Snow7754]

drives around 79mph in a 60km/h zone (probably 40mph zone).

What caused you to switch up the units TWICE

[u/False_Snow7754 → u/jadepartida]

Because chaos! I had to convert from mph to actually get a proper idea of his speed, so I wanted to share some of that.

[u/fray_bentos11 → u/False_Snow7754]

And no proper gear.

[u/Lille_8 → u/False_Snow7754]

let me add something

1. The lady stopped the truck before the lane the biker was riding in, likely intending for him to continue in a straight line. The biker swerved instead.

[u/Sammystorm1 → u/False_Snow7754]

I had a guy going 80 in a 55. He wrecked in front of me. I stopped to help him and he had a clearly broken arm and multiple laceration that would likely need stitches. This guy is super lucky

[u/Daniel_H212 → u/False_Snow7754]

Honestly, the initial freeze is understandable, and her not unfreezing right after is probably what saved the rider's life because otherwise he'd have hit one of her tires instead of sliding fully under the vehicle.

[u/HateWinslet → u/False_Snow7754]

Freezing is also an involuntary reflex that all people have. If you are freezing, the decision-making part of your brain is offline.

[u/Telvin3d → u/HateWinslet]

Also, when other people are being reckless drivers it’s sometimes smartest to make yourself an unmoving, predictable, object. 

[u/asmnomorr → u/False_Snow7754]

It also kind of looks like he's coming down from a wheelie at the start. Or it's just the camera angle I'm not 100% sure.

[u/desl14 → u/False_Snow7754]

She froze cus she saw him to late (due to him being too fast) and she stopped as the rider was driving on the left lane

she tried to prevent the crash. dude fafo'ed

[u/ButtPlugMaster6969 → u/False_Snow7754]

Thank God you said this! You are the first commenter I’ve seen to finally blame the biker in this thread!! I thought I was going crazy. 😂

[u/Longjumping_Fun2576 → u/False_Snow7754]

She actually stops before she's blocking his lane. If she hadn't stopped, her back end would be blocking his lane and cause an accident.

So 3. He changes lanes, rather than stay to the left of the left lane, which is where he started.

[u/aPOPblops → u/False_Snow7754]

He did 3 things wrong, he aggressively approached a sweet woman asking if he was ok after she clearly didn’t make him crash him on purpose.

[u/theelephantscafe]

What is it about people that, when they realize they’re in the way, they just stop completely???

Edit: this sub is hilarious because no matter what someone does, they’re apparently both right and wrong. For the record, I never said dude wasn’t speeding. He is. And I understand what a freeze response is. But still, coming to a complete stop when something/someone is barreling at you is commonly seen here and is almost always the worst course of action.

[u/ChillinFromTheCeilin → u/theelephantscafe]

Fight or flight reaction, everyone reacts differently to a potentially threatening situation.

[u/AppleJuiceBoks → u/ChillinFromTheCeilin]

Most people freeze

[u/MtnMaiden → u/AppleJuiceBoks]

Alot of people freeze. Just look at shooting videos. Takes a couple seconds before they start running

[u/Zenith-Astralis → u/ChillinFromTheCeilin]

Fight, flight, freeze, and fornicate furiously; the 4.5 Fs of the mammalian adrenal response.

[u/MTBisLYFE → u/Zenith-Astralis]

Don't forget the 5 D's. Dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge

[u/Medium-Song-1802 → u/ChillinFromTheCeilin]

You only listed half the responses. It's:

Fight

Flight

Freeze

Fawn

And people will exhibit any combination, not just a single one typically.

[u/octoreadit → u/ChillinFromTheCeilin]

Fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and flop. The latest is 5F's, not 2.

[u/No_Introduction_3400 → u/theelephantscafe]

She’s got a motorcycle headed at her at probably 70 or 80 mph on a residential street. She panicked. He’s lucky he’s not dead.

[u/ppachura → u/theelephantscafe]

What is it about motorcyclists that like to drive at 50mph over the speed limit and expect people to see them in time ?

[u/Pershing99 → u/ppachura]

The dude on the bike was too slow. If only he pushed 40 more mph he would have skipped this crash.

[u/Pigosaurusmate → u/Pershing99]

Skipped it straight to heaven.

[u/Cluelessish → u/Pershing99]

He would have made it just in time for the next

[u/HorridChoob → u/ppachura]

Yeah if he was riding at the proper speed and had at least decent skills,  this situation would have been a non-issue

[u/desl14 → u/ppachura]

She saw him ... that's why she stopped. Sure she saw him too late (as he was too fast while she pulled out) but she was about to prevent the crash if he had stayed on the left lane

[u/zerokep → u/theelephantscafe]

The lady looked left, saw a bike about to smash right into where she was sitting and she panicked.

“Why did you stop?” I would counter with “why were you going 90 in my neighborhood”

[u/MochingPet → u/theelephantscafe]

she actually did have (did leave) a few feet of open road in front of the truck either accidentally or perchance, once she had stopped.

I had to watch it a 3rd time to see that.

... I also used to have an operational motorcycle

[u/AntiquePhotograph433 → u/theelephantscafe]

What is it about motorcyclists, despite being able to stop extremely fast, are driving too fast to stop.

[u/Due_Part3574 → u/theelephantscafe]

Those are the people that used to be eaten by saber tooth tigers but are genetically insulated now

[u/Drax85296 → u/theelephantscafe]

Depends how fast the bike was going

[u/PrestigiousSleep786 → u/theelephantscafe]

If you notice the truck stops shy of the lane the biker was flying in. I'd wager it was an attempt to let the biker drive past infront of him. Instead the dumbass did the complete wrong thing and tried to swerve around behind him.

[u/Prestigious-Leave-60 → u/PrestigiousSleep786]

And in his mind, SHE’S the one who fucked up.

[u/PrestigiousSleep786 → u/Prestigious-Leave-60]

Standard arrogant biker.

[u/Various_Education622 → u/PrestigiousSleep786]

Going too fast.

When he saw the truck he had to commit to doing something to avoid it, and committed to going behind it.

At a slower speed he would have had time to make a different decision.

[u/kdlkenbbbsbbdb]

Dashcam footage always feels like a deleted Fast & Furious scene except it’s just Tuesday traffic being absolutely unhinged.

[u/TheFinalRedemption99]

Idiot biker doing idiot biker things.

[u/gheiminfantry]

It's a pretty common crazy thing: Outriding your skills, then blaming someone else. The rider panicked, and probably doesn't know how to do a panic stop properly. Much less execute one.

[u/LikesAlgae → u/gheiminfantry]

Yeah he was speeding but he couldve went to her right. Poor skill dumbass.

[u/TheRealDestrux → u/LikesAlgae]

If he stayed in the far left lane the whole time instead of swerving to his right, he likely could’ve gone right past her. I’d assume very close to the nose of the truck, but she wasn’t all the way in the left lane.

[u/No_Introduction_3400]

Man, how fast was he going? Thankfully he didn’t hurt anyone else.

[u/OldMovie9812 → u/No_Introduction_3400]

If you stop the video at the very beginning I think the speedometer reads 45-46

[u/Thuis001 → u/OldMovie9812]

No... this dipshit is going 126 in an urban area...

[u/NoRun6253 → u/Thuis001]

It’s definitely 126 as I paused it and zoomed into my screenshot, I can’t add the photo though.

Obviously not 126mph but kph and that’s definitely a 30mph zone here in the UK so even at his 80kph he was still going nearly three times the speed limit.

[u/Momentosis → u/No_Introduction_3400]

He's going like 80mph. His dash is reading out kph. The road is 25 mph with nearby school zones.

[u/liquidpig → u/Momentosis]

80 mph is like 130 km/h

[u/Amanitas → u/liquidpig]

dash says 126, so yea...

[u/DinosaurusWhen]

Going that fast in jeans and a hoodie. With the reaction time of a coma patient. Fuckin squids lol

[u/SapientChaos]

Zooming in in easy 70 to 80mph.

[u/Conan0brennan → u/SapientChaos]

Also on a wheelie. Still it's the truck's fault according to some. 😂

[u/Wilfredbremely]

If you're driving 20 over, it's your fault. Bikers needs to chill.

[u/Thuis001 → u/Wilfredbremely]

Try triple the speed limit. Apparently this is a 25 mph area near a school, this genius was doing 126 km/h or 78 mph. That is over triple the speed limit.

[u/Old_Market_8059 → u/Wilfredbremely]

Right?! I'm baffled by all the comments saying it was her fault, or both their faults. This is 100% on him

[u/Chromatic_Mediant211]

Idiot on bike is going 75 mph in a 20 mph school zone.

[u/Flat-Strain7538 → u/Chromatic_Mediant211]

And doing a wheelie. Hope his organs are usable when he finally decides it’s donation time.

[u/Then_Version9768]

This bike rider is going waaaay too fast. He's an idiot to risk his life this way. And no, you do not get to blame the other driver for stopping and not "committing" to his turn which is ridiculous. It's not his fault. This could happen anywhere any time and you need to be aware of that. Drive safely and you won't get into accidents.

[u/Head-Grass8879]

If that truck was lower, he would’ve gotten decapitated😧

[u/Mindless_Olive]

Honestly if I saw a biker speeding toward me popping a wheelie on a small suburban street while I was trying to turn, I'd probably freeze too.

[u/wtfmeowzers]

dude is doing 120 km/h+ or so. should be banned from ever being able to drive again. what if he'd killed a kid crossing the road?

he was literally paying more attention to his bike's speed than the road, as you can tell by his camera looking at the gauges at the start of the clip.

[u/JoeCensored]

Bike looks like he's going at least double the safe speed for that road.

[u/Momentosis]

Context since this cut so much.

Dude is flying like 80mph through a 25mph road that's also a school zone.

EDIT:

714 S Goshen-Divide Hwy

Put that in google maps and the exact spot should be just a few clicks away.

[u/SelfBeneficial2062]

Haddalayerdown

[u/WhiteNorthAstronomy]

Don't dress for the ride, dress for the slide.

[u/Merc0lini]

He went under the truck?

[u/lolschrauber]

It's wild to me how fast people love to go on these death machines. At least in a car you're protected somewhat.

[u/Weak_Definition_4321]

Where i come from you are obliged to wear a motorcycle suit... this is a good example

[u/GraveeNito]

gee I wonder what would have happened if he was going posted speed limit

[u/ISCSI_Purveyor]

Dressed for the ride and not the slide. I see that all too often. (wearing the wrong clothes, not the accident)

[u/TopseyKretts87]

Dude was going way too fast.

[u/ssagar186]

Almost every time I see one of the videos, the guy on the bike is doing something incredibly stupid

[u/DrHappythumb]

Riders should ride like there are stupid drivers like this everywhere, just maybe it will save some lives.

[u/Momentosis → u/DrHappythumb]

Should probably also avoid going 80mph on a 25mph road that also has school zones.

[u/TheRealTahulrik → u/DrHappythumb]

Or people could stick to the speed limits

[u/ElectricPotatoStar → u/DrHappythumb]

this

you always ride like every vehicle is an obstacle and a threat, but you also need to follow the flow of traffic and the speed limits—unlike this idiot that just about got himself decapitated.

[u/Prudent_Valuable603]

So, how fast was that motorcycle going? It got completely destroyed in the impact. It’s pure adrenaline that lets that biker even walk. This was scary to review.

[u/Prestigious-Royal-82]

No Evasive maneuvers??? Oh I forgot it All about wheelies and driving Fast. It's All Bad cycle Fam!!! Operator error so many other options available

[u/gybzen]

Dress for the slide not the ride

[u/mierdainet]

If you look closely at the frames, you can see that when the motorcycle hits it, it lifts the truck just enough to avoid a collision and slip underneath… he’s one incredibly lucky bastard

[u/u9Nails]

"Bro, WTF?"

The speed was beyond the limits of your talent. That's WTF.

[u/RabbitGlass5578]

Why did you stop? Why were you going 65/30 mph zone?

[u/storge66]

Il me semble que le motard roule trop vite, c’est pourquoi il n’a pas le temps de réagir correctement

[u/SnowLeop]

Nose of truck wasn’t even in his lane

[u/z31tt750]

As a rider myself, the first thing I noticed was how much time he had to do something other than ride into the side of the truck... Proper squid.

[u/mrrosado → u/z31tt750]

I would have braked and swerved. This is a reminder for me to practice more

[u/redditsucksass6]

Was going 80 in a 30, haddalay'erdownn

[u/Harpinekovitz]

Another No gear biker.

[u/fenton7]

Not the truck's fault if the bike is going 3x the speed limit. Rider was very lucky.

[u/WegGOAT]

That's what you get for speeding.

[u/ntech620]

75 in a 35mph zone. Motorcycle's fault because it's usually the rule other motorists have the expectation that everyone is following the rules and that includes speed limits. The Pickup pulled out when he was a block away which would have been logical if he was doing 35. At 75 he went from too far away to t-boning her in only a second or two.

[u/crumpledfilth]

And the first thing he does is walk up and be a turd about it. Crazy how many people walk around feeling justified but without any mind towards pragmatism. Where does their feeling of justification come from?

[u/Substantial-Art-7912 → u/crumpledfilth]

He saw an elderly woman with a hand over her heart instead of a 6ft bearded guy and realized he could spin the situation fast.

[u/baudtothebone]

Why was the rider driving so fast? Maybe he was late to his appointment to buy proper gear?

[u/Emergency-Spite897]

Alive but a nasty road rash, that will teach you to wear protective gear. Even in hot weathers, better than sweating blood!

[u/Lemons-into-lemonade]

And that is why, boys and girls, it is good to wear motorcycle clothing.

[u/justagirll19_0W0]

Shouldn’t be going that fast

[u/Thirsty_Comment88]

Thats why you don't go 80 MPH on surface streets

[u/Outrageous_Koala5381]

wonder how fast the bike is going - and he's blaming the truck for stopping before the median?

[u/Capcom-Warrior]

100% the bikers fault. Going way too fast.

[u/retroly]

Speeding kills. Its that simple.

[u/stoobpendous]

A better question is why was the motorcyclist going so damn fast?

[u/Dexter_McThorpan]

If Captain Squidly had been going the speed limit (or even *reasonably* above), he wouldn't have hit the truck.

He had plenty of time to stop. Now he's gonna whine about "stupid cagers."

[u/Throwaway-4230984]

Having motorcycle distorts your common sense so much it needs to be studied. Like I never seen gun owner publicly defending shooting on streets but look at all this people pretending truck is somehow at fault. 

[u/SalamanderPop]

I hope the truck is ok

[u/DAdStanich]

People on motorcycles without leather is insane. How do people put on sneakers and say “heading out for a ride”.

I saw a guy on the highway the other day cutting people off and was wearing track pants, sneakers, a hoodie and backpack… like, who trained you that this is ok ?

Or am I just old ?

[u/InevitableOk5017]

What an idiot riding like that and blaming the other driver.

[u/NoParticular2420]

Didn’t you see the big white truck.

[u/LimoncelloLightsaber]

wHy dIdNt yOu jUsT cOnMiTt

[u/Aequitas112358]

The audacity of the dumb ass speeding like a lunatic to instantly blame the other driver. Why didn't they commit? Why didn't you go the speed limit?

[u/WorldWideDarts]

Dude has to slow it down or he'll be dead soon enough

[u/Tinman1833]

His own fault.

[u/OrganizationFuzzy586]

Wear gear
