Bike Crash images

[scumdog]

One of my workmates recieved an e-mail depicting a series of crash pictures from a crash involving a sports bike vs a tree at 200+kmh.
All I can say is that it wouldn't have hurt and it would have been easy to pick up the guy as most of his bits look like they weighed less than 20kg!

Ironicly (sp) the most intact part of him was the lower part of his head (there wasn't a top) and the helmet looked pretty good too

Bike wasn't too flash neither!

Ride Safe People!!!


edit: Very graphic crash images.

[loosebruce]

Trees aren't all that forgiving, i had a crash outside my old place in mt albert old ford falcon vs tree, falcons are pretty solid cars, tree's are more solider and made a mess out of the car, 3 dead, and for some reason the driver survived who had no licence and was 3 times over the adult limit.

What got me most was the parents supplied the kid with the car and the piss, go figure.

Hate to think what a bike vs tree would turn out like...... indeed ride safe everyone.

[Motoracer]

Yea... I try my best to be as safe as possible while having fun at the same time... I'd hate to put people who care about me through the crap of dealing with the loss etc just cause I decided to run into a tree at 200+! Not to mention the firemen, police people who have to deal with the mess...

Hmmm... It is a horrible reality... makes you wonder sometimes...

[Madmax]

I was living just down the road from the crash in mount albert!
the falcon did not even move the tree but it still has a few marks :wacko:

[Two Smoker]

Yeah makes me think when im trying to catch you, "i wonder if that farm fence would work like a cheese cutter????"

As everyone is saying, be safe.... Its better to be alive and ride another day, than to have cred and be dead.....

[Skyryder]

One of the many occupations I havew had was that of a hospital orderly. On this ocassion I was working in the morgue when this guy was bought in. He had been hit by a train on a motor bike. Still intact but if you can imagine an infaltable doll half pumped up and covered in tar, (bruising) you may be able to imagine what this guy looked like.

Be safe people be safe.

Someone pointed out to me once that if a rider hits an unyeilding object (wall, tree etc) head on at 100kph that rider is dead. It don't matter if you're wearing Dainese, it don't matter if you're wearing Arai. Your brain gets smashed to shit inside your skull. Remember you are mortal.

[FROSTY]

Ugg -Ya know ou are always aware it might happen but ya kinda block it out.

Hey, what a coincidence! the guy I mentioned was wearing an Arai jacket, thats how you could tell which way round he was 'facing' - if he had a face! :gob:

His helmet looked comparatively empty of brains though.

[Mongoose]

His helmet looked comparatively empty of brains though.

Did you see him wearing it before tha crash, or was that just after the crash that the helmet was empty? :blah:

Ask White Trash about farm fences and how good his Jim Whittam rep Bell Helmet was.......... if you buy a cheap helmet, you got a death wish!

Yuck.

I bet he did it in an inconsiderate place re. cleanup, too.

Still, a load of 00 buck into the skull is a pretty foolproof method if you're serious about shuffling off the mortal ignition coil. Girlies and 'please, cruel world, give me some attention' attempted suicides prefer pills and wrist-slashing, I've heard.

It was a guy. Right?

[Motoracer]

Daym! Where did the shoe come from? Did he have a pillion as well?

Could have been because by fatigue or a wheelie landing that went wrong? Road looks perfect and straight...

[Cajun]

WARNING DO NOT LOOK AT THESE PHOTOGRAPHS IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH. Here are the photographs of the crash.

hmmmmm damn not good at all

[Shafted]

This could be me in defence mechanism mode, but I figure that if you are travelling at 200km/h in anything - bike, car, skateboard (!) whatever - and hit something stationary, you can pretty much flag ever getting home in one piece (or less that ten!)

You can talk to any cop who attends accidents around the place and they will be able to share some pretty gruesome tales of what happens to bodies in accidents between cars etc ...

(Returning to put head totally in the sand)

[Firefight]

back pack maybe ??

I guess it's not an unfamiliar sight for some of us?

[Madmax]

has anyone been first to stop for an accident!!
I have twice, not nice??

[toads]

I saw a guy I knew that was gooning around on his bike just up the road from here and hit a fence post trying to avoid a horse, we saw his body lying waiting for the ambulance, his g/f had just been airlifted to hospital, he was wearing no helmet and smashed his skull, it took a long time before I stopped seeing it in my head. knowing my son is capable of travelling that fast on his bike scares me shitless, but there's nothing I can do about it except pray that his time on this earth is destined to be long and healthy. Can you imagine the family of that guy, and what they would have to go through to identify him, also their feelings with regard to motorbikes now!

[jrandom]

Well, some months back I drove (in the cage) past a motorcyclist lying unconscious in the left land of the northwestern motorway, southbound, with his right leg bent up around his shoulder. Helmet off, not looking too flash. Bike off the road. Didn't see a helmet nearby, actually, he might not even have been wearing one. Other motorists already in attendance with cellphones etc, I don't know anything about first aid (must remedy that) and Sarah was freaking out, so I carried on home.

It really beats me how he managed to crash right there, though. Nice flat straight section of motorway. :blink:

A chap at work described a friend of his having the experience of being the first to walk past the remains of a early morning suicide jumper. Can't remember which city he was in at the time.

Sorta puts you off a bit doesn't it? I am glad that I have never seen a messed up dead person, and I hope I don't have to. And I also hope that I don't end up like that!

*Shudders*

Oh well, I guess you can't do anything fun without the death factor, eh? Well, mybe knitting... but I am not sure that counts as 'fun' :lol:

[Bandito]

THAT is seriously sobering-enough said

[jrandom]

Oh well, I guess you can't do anything fun without the death factor, eh? Well, mybe knitting...

Them modern, high-performance knitting needles are ferocious when mishandled, boy. Been a few horrible incidents. You think *all* those blue-rinse grannies die peacefully in their sleep? Think again. They lay off the wool for a few decades to focus on lawn bowling, head back into a knitting shop one day and buy whatever the salesman points out first, take it home, fire up a skein and WHAMMO! Good night, nurse.

It was a guy. Right?
The guy did it in a pretty remote area so clean up was not too big a deal. One interesting thing was that he had a spare round in his pocket, in case he missed with the first one I guess???

I apologise to the entire forum in advance for my ghoulishness, but I've always wondered about this, and I just have to ask.

What type of round was he using? Buck or bird, and what grade?

[Edit: One would imagine that the spare round was in case of a hang or mis-fire.]

[Madmax]

fhe first one is saw was strange, i was riding up north to go game fishing,
stopped to have a leak on the side of the road saw some lights in a ditch just
down from where is was having as leak, climed down the bank and it was all
on the hubby was dead the wife and kids where spred all over the place!!
did not go fishing (just seeing a mako shark would have put me off)

Jimbo. The point is well made and the photos are having an impact. However it makes me uncomfortable that awful photos of a deceased person are on a public internet forum. I think they should come down now. What do you lot think?

Given that the person and incident in question is presumably unidentifiable, and that the photos will certainly be up in numerous other places around the internet, it seems pointless to take them down.

If it was an incident in NZ, I don't think it'd be appropriate to leave them up due to the likelihood of family and friends stumbling across them, but as it is... why worry.

Fair enough. If folks are offended at the material I will remove it. These images are bouncing all over cyber world anyway. I received them via email from Oz. I certainly didn't take them.

Don't laugh! I know of one case where guy used single barrel shotgun, first shot didn't quite do the trick so he had to open the gun, get the single spare shell he had and have another go! - worked that time :gob:
Damn but his ears must have been ringing after that first shot! :(

quite right, sandy runoffs and air fencing on the tighter corners please :wacko:

Had another wee looky at those pics, the shoe comes from the leg that is not connected.

[marty]

i've been first at more than a few, especially when i worked in cambridge and huntly - finding them in the middle of the night in the fog. it's never a good thing, the first look inside a car to see how many are still breathing, but the hunting in the paddocks for the body (usually sleeping kids) that 'were' have been in the back seat is the worst.

as for eating shotties/.308's/.22's/9mm handguns.....more than i care to remember

[mangell6]

There are also pictures of a rider and pillion that had a head on with a trauck, the heavy army type that was loaded with dirt. The pillions helmet was lodged in the bars on the front of the truck, it was guess which body part that is.

[loosebruce]

Me and my mate were basiclly the first out to the car in that carsh in mt albert, it wasn't the nicest thing to deal with, i listened to this kid gurgling in the back seat, turned out he had a ruptured aorta and was drowning in his own blood, the guy i got out of the car had broken both his legs and his lower back. Driver had to be cut out, can't believe he lived to be honest, guy in front passenger seat died instantly when the dash came to meet his face and broke his neck, none of the ones in the back were wearing seatbelts.

Not being a cunt but i find it hard to show sympathy for them, driver had no licence, they were all way over the limit, speeding in a 50km passing veichles etc etc, and the parents were the ones that brought them the piss and gave them the car, i mean wtf.

Think the worst thing for me that i can think of is watching a mate go down in front of me at speed, and going back there not knowing if he/she's okay, something i never want to deal with, i'm sure it'd be the same for a lot of you guys n gals.

I think it was standard bird shot but to be perfectly honest I paid no attention to that at all.

Yeah, quite right SC, solid slug or number 7 shot, if the loud end of the gun is touching skin the result always has an untidy appearance, the shot size is irrellevant..

[dangerman]

Geeeezz
Just saw those photos
Every time I hop out of first gear they will flash before my eyes
An LTSA magazine article recently said the biggest cause of injuries on rural roads is vehicles loosing control and hitting road side obsticles
I believe it is promoting "Forgiving Roads" policy where by powerpoles trees etc in dangerous places are shifted or removed completely

They did a start at that in Blenhiem(I think) and put in underground cabling, so that only left street lights, and yep, thats what people hit.

[toads]

my daughter and her partner had a car crash a few years ago, doing 175km and wiped out on a corner neatly missing 3 concrete power poles and several trees, they ended up upside down in a ditch, all 4 of the occupants were ok, the car was toast. I drive past those poles most days and always think they could have been hit so easily by the car, but thankfully they missed them, I don't really think it's possible to move every tree, powerpole or road sign that could be crashed into

I dont know about knitting, that looks like pretty hardcore stuff. I've heard some people have had some serious injuries from accidentally stabbing themselves with their needles. I'll stick to my motorbike, I dont think I can take the risk with knitting.

FYI Concrete power poles are actually better... better than wooden ones, I had a mate whos car slide into and up the other side of a ditch and thru a concrete power pole that snapped. luckly he came out just dazzed.

For what it's worth, I was talking to a friend of a friend at a party a year or so back, he was studying engineering and looking at power and light poles.

The light post they use a lot around Auckland and elsewhere are thin-walled steel made in sections with an octagonal cross-section. They are designed to flex in the wind while remaining strong, but to basically give way under any level of localised lateral force (a car hitting it for example) - they just fold.

The concrete power poles that we see everywhere are similar. Designed to largly give way under impact, but for the steel retaining rods to support at least most of the weight of the remaining pole, to avoid powerlines coming down.

And then there's the motorway poles, which are attached to a hard set plate with bolts that are designed to shear in an impact. Although I hear they are still pretty unforgiving.

But unfortunately for us, I believe the that our mass, generally, is not enough to cause these helpful structures to give way for us if we hit them on our bikes. So, it's best we avoid them entirely.

[Sniper]

I put the story of those phots in MSTRS "Shock tactyics thread" If anyone is interested. Yep, he didnt hit the tree, his bike just slid into it :bye:

[Sensei]

Watched my mate while passing me at 180k round a corner hit a Goat that ran out in front of us from the side of the road he came off big time . His K75 BMW disintergrated was just the motor sitting in the frame on the road . No front or back end / tank / bars/ speedo / all gone . Helicoptered to hospital stuffed back etc.etc . Felt sick as fuck running back up the road to him .Sold
my GSXR1100 & brought a Ducati the next week . he rebuilt the bike & is still riding it round today . The main thing I learnt from this was how FAR & LONG YOU & THE BIKE GOS AFTER THE CRASH seen as it was happening right beside me , bike bounced over the top of me at one stage .Have a lot more respect for Speeding now so try to not do it very often !!

Umm, well mum said there was a bit of a mess to clean up. Aparently the roo was almost ripped in two. Dad explained it as "Like a gaint man tried ripping it in two and only got 3/4 of the way through"

If you have a closer look you will see a riding boot in the pic, so the question remains. Probably in a back pack or something.

The friction from the sliding probably caused so much heat that the blood boiled.

You'd be lucky to find a couple of nice steaks on that fella (WT) - maybe a schnitzel ? :mellow:

I know of someone that had to pick up a friend after a fatal crash and one of the things he noted was that even if you fall of at the legal speed if you hit anything you going to pick up some serious injuries. Its not pretty sight to go and fetch a friend or family member and my thoughts are with the family and friends cause even if this happend a long time ago it still will be on there minds

[Lou Girardin]

Shinya Nakano has come off at 305kmh and raced the following week.

He slid for ever and a day but didn't hit anything.

A lot of it is luck.

It's the sudden stop that kills you.

[Hitcher]

Some crap is talked around here at times.

He's dead. Whether he died doing something he liked or not is immaterial.

The beating or not of your heart has nothing at all to do with whether you bleed immediately after death or not. As for the friction evaporating the blood theory, puh-lease...

This dead gent was cut in half, presumably by the impact. Desanguination would have therefore been extremely rapid. Where the various body parts are assembled probably isn't the exact accident site.

Despite popular views, speed does not kill. Severe and sudden impact does.

That's right.

[Matt Bleck]

Very graphic is right! I've seen similar pics before and I can't say they've shocked me enough into riding slower!

The last thing I want to do when out riding is mediatate on graphic bloody body parts, and imagining my precious bike binned and on fire - get real!! :pinch:

did I say meditate on it...no i don't think so...

[Hitcher]

Severe and sudden impact would be a result of speed would it not?
Yes, of course. But the severe and sudden impact of 100kmh is just as fatal as that experienced at 240kmh. My point is that speed itself is not the factor that directly contributes to death or injury.

[Zed]

did I say meditate on it...no i don't think so...Sorry no, you said "always have these in my mind"...so we'll put it down to a misinterpreted figure of speech shall we!

Good on you r4q2 for being safety conscious. :niceone:

[gamgee]

FUCK!!!!!! Speed not only kills.............it tenderize's........are those sneakers i see on the ground next to him
yeah he's dead now all because he wasn't wearing proper boots :niceone:

[gamgee]

Fell off at 220 and went through a wire fence. No shit. 2 witnesses.

I'm fine. I haven't looked at the pics because I've seen them before I think. I doubt they're real or at least they've put a body through a dismembering device to make it look worse.
maybe we should be sending these pictures to john campbell because cheese cutters are safe

[Fart]

Holy FUCK !

Take it easy out there guys.

[SimJen]

These have been around the net for ages... I find it hard to believe they are real. They've been picked apart on various forums for a long time, some people claim to know the story....some claiming its from a movie others claiming its a friend or relative.
Noone seems to be able to give any real proof.....so my judgement is out until they do.
Doesn't exactly look nice though.

[TonyB]

Bloody graphic eh?!
A mate of mine emailed me these ages ago. I didn't think they were overly suitable for a public forum- these message is good but....shit that's nasty. Thought I'd be banned from the forum if I put them up- looks like my stomach is weaker than most of you.
I was doing a image search for something or other on the net once when I came across a pic of a guy that had gone over the bars with no helmet, no jacket and no gloves. Must have been low speed because he didn't have a mark on him.... except for the huge hole in the top of his head.... his brains were spread out on the road infront of him. That was pretty nasty.

[hXc]

To the speed kills/sudden impact kills thing, remember: It's not the fall that hurts/kills - It's the landing/sudden stop. Hitcher is absolutely correct. It could be photoshopped or it could be real, but at those speeds that sort of thing can and will happen.

Physics will help at this sort of thing. If you are doing 280kms an hour and you hit something that isn't moving, then you will keep travelling-at 280kms an hour. You can't change that sort of stuff, but you can prevent it from happening. That is to BE SAFE on the road or anywhere else for that matter.
If it's real then I really feel for the family and close friends of that guy.

As others have been saying, he's lucky he's dead.

PLEASE RIDE SAFE

And I have the upmost respect for police officers, fire fighters, medics and anyone else who has to help in these situations. I know I could never do it.

Lets just hope that it will never happen to one of us.

[gamgee]

yeah browsing round i found some pics of a guy that crashed into the back of an operating dump truck, needless to say he was in quite a few pieces when they took him out, and someone posted the morgue photo's they're on google images, i can post them if anyone thinks they're up to it

[gamgee]

Lets just hope that it will never happen to one us.
it already is happening on a weekly basis

[pyrocam]

nothing like a good controversial image to spark the imagination. Good-O



It might be the might internets effect on my but I dont think its real, but the amount of horrificness Ive seen also makes me think that candyfloss and natural light are also photoshops.

[hXc]

Not that badly it isn't.

[gamgee]

what difference does it make if they're mangled or not, bikers are still dieing on a weekly basis

[bugjuice]

so are cage drivers.. walkers.. runners.. cyclists..
makes no odds. people die doin stuff. it's just we can make a bigger mess than most.
KB is a big land. Can't be helped when population grows of a family such as ours. Just make sure you try your damn best not to be one of these 'figures' on paper.

guys-pretty horrible stuff that -It may have been faked it may not but the damage done could definitely be real.
One point made was its not the fall that kills its the sudden stop that does.
Sounding like an old record here but that is exactly why I push track days-
USUALLY there wont be a sudden stop --just the slide of shame and a bt of a repair bill to ya leathers

but he GOT BETTER.

duh.

the real question, of course, is whether he weighs the same as a duck.

[Phurrball]

Food for thought indeed...regardless of alleged photochoppery…

We are but squishy biological entities.

Our unaided bodies propel us to maximum speeds of maybe 30km/hr at full sprint (And that would be a fine human specimen on a good day = 12 second 100 metre time).

My humble guess is that sort of speed is what our bodies have evolved to cope with in a spill involving a sudden stop.

Faster + sudden deceleration = bad things happening.

(From memory the LTSA seat-belt simulators that used to travel around the schools in my day travelled at 7km/hr before coming to an abrupt halt - enough to prove a point.)

Makes one remember to kit up fully - even on short jumps to the corner shops etc. Dave at Motomail was relaying a story to me last weekend, about a young lady who had been purchased a scooter by her parents. She had gone there for the necessary accoutrements, saying 'I don't need gloves', and eschewing a full face helmet in favour of an open faced one. He suggested that she run as fast as she could full into the wall. Response was 'But I'll hurt myself!' Point duly made...(Naturally I paraphrase.)

Safe is good :yes: Maintain that safety buffer KBers.

RIP those who remind us of these immutable facts by way of demonstration…:weep:

Well spotted...rep for that!

Unintended inappropriateness of my signature number 122...:whistle:

[Dafe]

No 2 fence wire would have done the job at legal speeds too, I suspect!
So I don't feel it's a speed issue! More a typical motorcyclists hazard.
I had a 50+ neighbour lived a few doors down, safe as rider - Slow arse 80's bike. Riding down the gorge, traffic accident, nose to tails, no one could stop, he crashed came off, truck behind still going 50 kph, straight over him - decapitated. Probably a messier scene!
I don't dwell on what could happen..... Otherwise I wouldn't have any fun!

[DingDong]

I dont feel sorry in the least... he knew what he was in for.
I do however feel sorry for the guys who had to pick him up and also for anyone who knew this guy and had to see these pictures... does the photographer have no mother?
If some prick photographs me in a simmilar state I hope who ever is with me kicks his arse :argh: and never lets my mum see the photos... not good at all.

[thealmightytaco]

Funny how his head is in 2 bits and his hat looks relatively undamaged

By the looks the front of his hat has disappeared, as if he went chin first into the tree, either that or his hat is sitting in a pothole amongst the pile of flesh.

Reminds me of the Tom... someone incident in F1 back in Kylami '77. Guy hit a firemarshall at 200k, fire marshall spun into several hundred pieces in midair while the guy driving the car, Tom, took the fire extinguisher to the face. After his car then piled into the cars trying to take the next corner they got his lifeless body out of the car and his face looked much like this guys face. Needless to say neither survived.

Not nice, not nice at all.

A good friend of mine sent these thru the interweb today.

I don't know what he's trying to say, but it worked! I will always have these in my mind when I brake the speed limit!

PLEASE NOTE, some of these are VERY graphic!

he's obviously hit something very solid...


On a off shot to this...check out that road surface...its like...whoooaaa

i aint even gana look at those pics... BUT brendan marshall came off at puke doing 280, his right shoulder near his rear delt was ground down to the bone, so was his right elbow I believe... apparently his helmet is all ground down, as in flat edges all over it! Nasty!!!

[flash]

am i the only one thats seen in the the pic that all the 'parts had been moved onto the road?
Theres a huge bloodly line next to the guy, showing whats the point of taking police photos there when he was killed in the forest next to him?
