HarrietTubmanPI Nasty road rash. This is why you always wear thick leather when you ride a bike. Of course a real bike rider wouldn't showboat like that either. So he got what he deserved.
splatterbabble Why even wear a helmet if you're just going to wear a t-shirt? Let nature take its course.
Tuan Jim A friend of mine had a bike when he was a teenager. He was smart enough to wear his helmet and leather coat and he had some leather pants for riding (they actually had some shit in there for his knees, iirc). He bitched about it, particularly in the summer, but he didn't stop wearing his riding outfit.
When the inevitable happened and a car sideswiped him at 45mph, he was able to do a series of forward rolls and ended up walking away with only a few bruises and a mildly sprained ankle. The bike was totaled.
revdrew Retard. I know a guy who died doing something similar.
sosage Their radness douching into my face doesn't offend me. It's the fact that everyone driving around them is scared shitless they are about to commit involuntary vehicular manslaughter when they fuck up.
sosage I don't think I meant that as a reply to you or your friend.
unknown rebel It's amazing how it's always the guys who don't wear safety gear who are impulsive enough to pull this shit and traffic and become legends. Legends at tearful funerals and/or yearbooks.
fluffy Riding on two wheels not dangerous enough? WHY NOT TRY JUST ONE
Architeuthis Tux Driving on SoCal freeways, I have seen shit significantly more insane than this (the guy surfing his bike -- standing on the seat and taking both hands off the handles -- comes to mind), but sadly none of them have ended so satisfyingly.
ItsAboutTime Finally a decent aftermath shot, that's missing in most of these...
charmlessman Does it strike anyone else that the last shot seems to be in someone's bathroom and not a hospital is the perfect ending for such a stupid stunt?
Tuan Jim "Here we are by the Florida turnpike" seems to imply that it is a rest stop.
APE_GOD Lost two stars because of the ending that deprived us of meeting these people. Got one back because of the korn + dude you okay
OgreMkIV A guy 'round here died doing this on regular (non-highway) roads some years back. Wedged himself and the bike under a parked car and caught on fire.
The ironic thing is that his buddy died doing the exact same thing... DURING THE FUNERAL PROCESSION.
Talk about evolutionary pressure in a population.
APE_GOD Amazing. Was there anything in the paper about this? Post it here.
The Mothership Yea, if that's true it needs to be here or on PoeN.
OgreMkIV I think that pre-dates the interwebs, boys.
nemeses9 Five stars for the horror of the last two seconds.
