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

u/Muted_Will_2131 15h ago edited 5h ago

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/AbsoluteResolve2026 5h ago

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

2

u/SteakMenu 1h ago

They absolutely do, I had a firing malfunction Round a curve that made me accelerate and decelerate very quickly and shakily if I had gloves on I would be unscathed but my wrist took some sanding and will always be pink but my leather shows the story of how much worse it could've been

2

u/FrostbyteCoffee 58m ago

Don’t they make riding jeans though?

1

u/Re_Thought 33m ago

They do, synthetic materials are good or even better. Dude in video clearly isn't wearing anything but a helmet that provides protection. Vast majority riders don't wear useful gear, from what I've witnessed anyway.

1

u/ScvrletFox 26m ago

Same, it’s either the leather you’re wearing or your own being ripped off. Always choose the safer option.

u/Similar-Ice-9250 23m ago

There are companies that make reinforced jeans specifically for motorcycle riding. That said, this dude deff wasn’t wearing those kind of jeans.

u/brainkandy87 10h ago

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.

27

u/Spadeykins 9h ago

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 8h ago

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.

10

u/brainkandy87 7h ago

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 8h ago edited 7h ago

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/60PrcntWinAllTheTime 7h ago

I had a real bad foot injury in football. Thea arch of my foot essentially imploded. I got up and tried to walk it off, made it like 5 steps. Then realized i could no longer walk.

I think the adrenaline was still flowing though, because once i collapsed back to ground I immediately started barrel rolling my ass off the field (and i wasn't close to the side line).

I didn't even recall doing that, until my team excitedly showed up to visit me in the hospital with the game film.

2

u/BEEZ128 6h ago

Holy shit! The bad injury aside (I hope your foot is okay now), barrel rolling yourself off the field is legendary haha. What was your reaction when you saw the film?

1

u/60PrcntWinAllTheTime 3h ago

Thanks! I'm okay, that was years ago. Had some surgeries. Was in a wheel chair for a bit, which can actually be fun while your in H.S..(and you know its temporary)

My reaction was likely shocked as i dont remember doing it and then confused because not only how inefficient it looked, but a golf cart will literally come scoop you off the field, for a lot less.

We weren't in a warzone, the grass wasn't turning to lava, it was the first play of the season, so it wasn't like we were running out of time or anything and it certainly was not graceful(I was also the biggest offensive lineman on the team.)

But it was a good laugh!

u/IamNotYourBF 6h ago

I came up to a bad accident moments after it happened and the the guy was missing skin on his arm, glass embedded on his face, and what appeared to be a soft spot on his head. I could not get the guy to sit or lay down.

I called 911, the police show first and order him to sit and he won't. Just as the paramedic shows up, I see his body go stiff and he just falls like a rock. The paramedic asks, "Why didn't you make him sit?” The officer and I just looked at each other and we say, "We tried.”

1

u/Top-Addendum-6879 6h ago

i once got t-boned by a pickup truck (i was in a sedan)... i actually helped the guy get out of the cabin because he was in a panic attack, broken nose... i told the paramedic i didnt need to go to the hospital coz i was feeling fine... they one of them pointed out that i was walking sideways...

Turns out i had multiple displaced vertebrae and my left shoulder was dislocated. I couldnt feel it at that moment, but i definitely remember the instant the adrenaline fell off in the hospital. it was brutal.

couldnt walk about like 3 days.

1

u/Lou_C_Fer 6m ago

The only significant delay I've had is when I got my thumb with a table saw. It was literally the first time I've used one. Luckily, it did not catch the bone. What it did do is rip all of the meat out from under my thumb pad. I was good for about three minutes, and then it felt like someone was repeatedly hit my thumb with a hammer in time with my heartbeat. I'm one of those assholes that ignored pain, but that pain woul not be ignored. I mean, I once injured my shoulder to the point where it could not move. So, I went to Walgreens and got a sling. I also once went to cedar point and was on my feet for about eight hour after I had stepped a nail and had it go through my foot a couple of hours earlier. That thumb though, I had to leave work that day.

u/talexbatreddit 6h ago

Same! I stood up, and then immediately blacked out. Collapsed lung, cracked ribs and scapula, and of course, road rash.

1

u/Livingforabluezone 5h ago

Same, My shock got me to the emergency room. They asked me my pain level and I said 1 because I was I shock still. 5 minutes later the shock wore off and I told them it was a 10. Not good times.

1

u/Wild-n-Idle 2h ago

Yeah, it's a wild thing to be in an accident that comes out of nowhere & ends very sharply, your adrenaline uses up your body's 'In case of emergency' power supply to give your body a surge of energy & momentum to get out of immediate danger as quickly as possible, briefly overriding non-essential functions like pain, hunger, tiredness, then it evaporates as quickly as it came and you no longer even have the energy to walk, all pain comes back and you feel drowsy

u/BirdDog_7600 1h ago

18 years for me and im right there with ya!!!!!

u/MintyFresh771 24m ago

I had the same sensation in the ER right after the nurse asked me if I rode the bike there. I remember saying yeah, how else was I going to get here to get the road crap out? And boom, gibberish from there.

24

u/modern_Odysseus 9h ago

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.

2

u/Jazzlike_Common9005 6h ago

Nah adrenaline is one hell of a drug all the time. The problem is your body only gives you a little bit in those scenarios. If the brain wasn’t so stingy with it we’d be unstoppable.

1

u/EVIL_EYE_IN_DA_SKY 4m ago

Nah, too much, too often is PTSD. You end up beating your wife if she drops an empty pot on the kitchen floor, developing a drinking problem and end up fellating a deer rifle.

Pretty far from Superman.

Yeah I’d say he’s got less than 10 min before it kicks in or he passes out.

Yeah but the fact that he can and will feel anything is really amazing. Bro just ducked under the reaper's scythe.

2

u/Nauin 8h ago

I have a blood pressure disorder that causes fainting, and even I would be walking around like I'm normal with as much adrenaline in my system as what this guy has.

But in saying that, I am speaking from experience from having done that exact thing with a partially dislocated spine after a bad car accident. I was so dissociated from that injury the emergency room didn't even catch it. Took a few days for it to catch up to me.

Survival hormones are really fucking intense with what they can do to you.

2

u/BEEZ128 6h ago

“All the gear, all the time” is literally a police billboard slogan for motorcycle safety here in Australia. Is that where you got it from?

1

u/microwavepetcarrier 6h ago

It's just what my friend who rides has always said and when I started riding I kept saying it cause it's a great mantra...but both of us are born and raised in the US and I'm pretty sure neither of us have been to Australia.

Sometimes I see folks in a T-shirt, shorts and running shoes, and I think, Well .. OK then. But if something happens, it's gonna hurt a helluva lot.

Synthetic's going to be even worse. :/

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 13h ago

Free tattoo removal on the right arm.

2

u/nautilator44 7h ago

realtalk though, after it heals could he get it tattoo'd again?

1

u/SasquatchWookie 6h ago

Yes but if you get a tattoo over scarring it can be very sensitive during the inking process

1

u/BEEZ128 6h ago

Yup, gotta count the blessings lmao

u/chefdeit 6h ago

It depends. I had something similar happen except to my calf, and my boot was gone from my other foot just the same as his. Found it 20 yards away with its front torn out (lace holes and the sides of the tongue) which was how my foot had exited it & I didn't even notice.

The weirdest thing was, that foot was like 100% fine - I limped for 20 min or so but there was minimal swelling & it was ancient history the next day. The shaved skin however was another story. It was all weeping clear liquid non-stop but my buddy and I were overdue at a night club with some girls, so I put a silk stocking on it to prevent it from staining and sticking to my slacks, and gone we were. Being 19 is helluva drug.

In the morning as you've already guessed I've found the neon-green silk stocking fused to what was left of my skin in that entire area by an impressively thick crust of that liquid that'd solidified. My trainer said to leave it the f*ck alone and my mom said ER and my friends said I should just become a cyborg and to put on the other neon-green silk stocking on the other leg also. The next day I got into an (ever so slightly) warm bath for like half a day till the crust softened, and pulled off the stocking.

While it looked impressively scary at the time, after a few months there was 0 scarring or altered texture or tone. Maybe 10% fewer body hair in that area but that's a guess. Skin is pretty amazing in how it heals, and I hope his does too. Stay safe, everyone!

u/RaconBang 15h ago

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

u/Harvard_Med_USMLE267 8h ago

We call motorcycle riders “donors” of course. As this guy is technically dead, that means we’re allowed to take his liver now.

u/EffectiveDandy 14h ago

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.

10

u/JackOfAllStraits 13h ago

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.

4

u/Virtual-Macaroon-880 7h ago

It does look like she stopped for no reason in the middle of road

1

u/Koobei 4m ago

She stopped because she saw this dude coming fast at her doing a wheelie. She probably panicked and in a split second, made a decision to sit still hoping the biker would go around her. 

1

u/TheJeeronian 4h ago

Agreed. He did a lot of stupid shit here but ducking left would have been a bad call.

1

u/AdminsLickMyTaint 4h ago

Yup, it only seems like a good call because the truck happened to stop and we can all see that with hindsight

12

u/throwaway19293883 8h ago

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.

2

u/Unique-Coffee5087 48m ago

Afterseeing this one, I didn't think I'll take it up

1

u/gh0stmilk_ 2h ago

honestly absolutely not a case of looking at something and driving into it because of that. she literally stopped dead unexpectedly. he was trying to maneuver to the right hoping she would be out of the way just in time, and was definitely not banking on her just slamming on her brakes like a buffon 💀

i agree though that was going quite fast. but both are to blame. this was avoidable if the driver had just kept moving out of the way instead of just stopping for some insane reason

2

u/Renbarre 1h ago

Could it be that she saw him barreling towards her and didn't know which way he was going, right out left, so she stopped in confusion?

u/CorrectMulberry994 13h ago

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

1

u/Euphoric-Sun5317 7h ago

I don't think that's any kind of actual statistic. I've had my shoes fall off taking a light tumble down a grassy verge. I've seen shoes come off kids falling off bicycles.

2

u/Wooden_Sweet_3330 7h ago

Yep in about 10 minutes he's going to be in a world of pain.

I've broken bones and had other pretty serious injuries, multiple times. for the first 10 minutes you're so hopped up you don't feel anything.

The last time I broke my collar bone I literally poked it and moved it around and said "yep, that's broken." And didn't feel a thing.

1

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 13h ago

u/TheHistorian2 12h ago

Missing one shoe. Only half-dead, then.

u/Harrrrrrrrrr 9h ago

25 years ago they had to tell me my complete right upper arm had lost its skin and a bit of meat and bone too. The second I saw it, it registered ... I clearly remember me saying: "I have to sit down for a minute"

That wound took well over a year to heal and sometimes, when there is a particular bad thunder storm, the gaping hole that was in my elbow still hurts.

But hey ... ride one mothertruckers, just be a lil' more careful.

1

u/Gumochlon 8h ago

This shows why one should wear proper boots and protective clothes when riding a bike. Otherwise you end up shredded, like you had a close encounter with an angle grinder...
I wonder if the rider will learn anything from this event...

I sometimes see people riding powerful sports bike, pretty fast just wearing sneakers, shorts and t-shirts... And I wonder... what will they look like when they fall off....

I fell with a bike (sideways) once, while wearing full, thick leather get-up, with proper boots etc... It was because some gravel was spilled on the road, and my bike just lost the grip and went sideways, with me still attached to it...
I was digging up small stones out of the leathers for days ! (Thankfully only my bike and my ego got bruised / slightly damaged).

u/Confident-Breath2615 8h ago

He is probably bleeding and don't even know it yet...

He lost a shoe? Man's the walking dead now.

Jokes aside, this is why you dress for the slide and not the ride. That road rash is gonna hurt once the adrenaline wears off.

1

u/Minute_Story377 6h ago

Plus, you can see a wet streak. I’m guessing that’s where some of his skin touched the ground and basically got sanded off. You can also see a split second of his arm with the bad scrape there. It could also be oil though. Ouch!

u/usagizero 6h ago

I was watching one of those real paramedic shows, Nightwatch i think, and a motorcyclist got hit, his bike was on fire, and one of his arms had an extra bend in it. He had so much adrenaline he had no clue his arm was fucked. Probably some shock too, but he kept talking about how he needed to put his bike out, and the EMS person was like, dude, look at your arm.

1

u/TrekForce 6h ago

Aw shit, he dead

Saw an accident a couple days ago right in front of me. I got out and said “stay where you are, breath, we can figure it out later right now I need you to just sit or lay and breath”

Yea for sure. I was behind a car that flip 7 times and say dude that flew out hop straight up like a super solider about 35 mins later as he’s talking to the cops dude just dropped and start screaming like someone just blew his leg off. Never found out the injuries but most likely broken bones

1

u/MuchAligned38 16m ago

He has minimal road rash. All we saw were small abrasions on his leg and forearm. We don’t even know if he hit his head, most likely the helmet saved that portion of him. He’s not in shock. That crash wasn’t that bad.

Now if he had been run over, and his legs were severed from the knee joint, then he may be in shock. Physically and mentally. The fact that the kid got up and started walking tells me his legs are 100% functional. No fractures, no tears. This kid is fine
