That was not pleasant at all. Don't know what else to say.

oh man thats terrible,that truck driver feckin blind or what

[PrincessBandit]

Could have been a pushbike rider or motorcyclist just as easily, although one would hope that a motorbike would have the grunt to accelerate away from the hazard. (Assuming the rider was also aware of their danger and ready to take evasive action).
Crikey, that's the worst thing I have ever seen.

[Meanie]

Holy crap, just lost my breakfast

[Soul.Trader]

Hmmm, I dont really want to see it (particularly at work). Can someone please describe (minus too much detail) what it is?

[Bikernereid]

A truck driving over and mashing a scooter rider into pieces. Not pleasant!!

Look closer.
The truck is fully laden with heavy shit and honking along.
Very very hard to stop any faster than a scooter.
Was still in the wrong but the scooter rider didn't do themselves any favours either.

Let it be a lesson, Always give trucks a good braking distance!

[kevfromcoro]

just found these ..bit gory.

[ital916]

Thats why you don't cut around a truck and then in front of it on a corner, and then sit in front of his bumper!, crikey. I've never seen what a truck can do to a person till then. be warned people, not nice!

[erik]

bloody hell.

If you watch the scooter and truck when they're in the distance, the scooter is on the far left side of the road and it looks like the truck moves right to go around him, then the scooter decides to change lanes.

[Headbanger]

Damn, That starts off freakin horrible, and just gets worse.

[headlesschicken]

ohhhhhhhh the truck locking up is the worst:(
why am i eating breakfast now??:lol:

[Blue Velvet]

Rider appears oblivious to what's behind them.

Wow, I'm normally really good with that sort of thing, but that made me feel not so flash

[McDuck]

That was fantastic. Must be strange...

[Katman]

The scooter looks ok though.:msn-wink:

[breakaway]

I've seen scooter riders do all sort of shit.

The "scooters are alright" attitude is what causes the problem in NZ (And probably most other countries). If I told my mum I was getting a SJ50QT I'd be sweet. But the SV650S took some convincing.

Because slow = safe, Right? :rolleyes:

[dipshit]

Yep, the scooter rider is all over the place, so the truck driver carn't work out which way it is going.

[Mikkel]

I can't see how you can argue that the truck is at fault... :no:

The scooter is pulling right across the lane - I sure can't see if he's indicating. Completely oblivious to what's behind him.
No matter who's at fault anyway - I think the evidence clearly shows that the fella on the scooter lost... badly.

But yeah, that shows quite clearly that you shouldn't fuck around with trucks. They'll rip you in half - literally.

Edit:
At least the guy was wearing a helmet...

I love how the cars react during and after the accident. Kinda like: "WTF is that, ewww, nothing to see here - let's run along." Like the bloody sheep they are.

[007XX]

WOW! That was a pretty clear vid...I don't get troubled by vids like that (being a mother an all, you get to face gore often :whistle:), but I reckon that might be a good one to show "would be" road racers.

Although in this case I agree the truck was fully at fault.

I wonder what the heck happened to the guy from Kev's pictures though...he had proper gear on too :(

[onearmedbandit]

I wonder what the heck happened to the guy from Kev's pictures though...he had proper gear on too :(

That guys pics have been around for a while, on a couple of American forums I belong to some of the guys know personally of the accident. Obviously he died on impact, apparently his brain was detached from the stem on impact. There is a couple of sites hosting the pics saying that he survived, snopes even has a page on it.

I took my RSV into the shop yesterday for the swingarm recall & they gave me a TGB 50 step thru to go home on & honestly, going into turn one at Ruapuna at 220k hanging off a sidecar has nothing on what my trip home was like.
Straight onto Hewletts road (a main Mt Maunganui port route) at 4.30 among the TD Haulage Kenworths was about the bloody limit, I had a mental image of that exact scenario happening to me.
The bastards can drop the RSV back to me & run the gauntlet on the fuckin scooter themselves & we'll see how hard they are.

It doesn't really matter who's at fault does it? My thought is that if you're on a scooter (or motorcycle, or small, slow car), you should be EXTRA aware of what other motorists are doing. This is a sad lesson in that very principle.

Exactly why a lot of arrogant people buy 4x4's cause they love the ability to drive around without much thought and have the comfort of knowing if anyone is going to die in a collision they're most likely to have caused it's not going to be them.

[crashe]

wow what footage.....!
That truck driver was driving too fast... and the scooter rider was changing lanes and got clipped by the truck.

I doubt the scooter rider even knew what happened to him/her, as it was all over so fast.

The truck had a full load on.... and the truck driver didn't allow braking distance between himself and the scooter.

RIP to the scooter rider.

[gunnyrob]

I came close to taking out a chick in a 4x4 as I was approaching Putaruru from the north. Stupid be-atch (heading to Tirau) was overtaking a bus around a blind corner towards me. She damn near crapped herself as she just sqeezed between the bus & my........















Big green Army truck that had 12 1000lb bombs on the back. :eek:

No way in hell I could move without rolling & crashing. Had we met head on, I would have had a nice gentle slow down as I would have used her entire vehicle as my crumple zone. She would have been toast.

[Soul.Trader]

Well I've just watched the video, and it's pretty horrible. However, I must disagree with some of the posts here. I see this as most certainly being the fault of the truck driver - I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's never ANY excuse for hitting someone from behind. The truck driver is going WAY too fast, right up the arse of the scooter rider. He ASSUMES that he knows what the scooter rider will do (which is plain stupid in my book), and caused that accident. I hope he was charged criminally.

[Mikkel]

So what you guys are saying is - if you hit a car that's doing a U-turn it's your own fault?

Anyway, I don't think this is from NZ. When someone has established where this is filmed and what the local road rules are we can start about placing the blame.

Just because you're on two wheels doesn't mean you're right and don't have to watch behind you.

Scooterboy lost - that's for sure. Placing the blame is academic - but he was at least partly responsible for his own demise.

[HTFU]

My cousin used to ride his 10 speed from Palmerston North to Bulls on the weekends coming back from Uni. He was a clever guy in his late teens doing training to become a Pharmacist. Was almost home, arrived in Bulls and at an intersection a truck passed him and then turned left into a side road. Similar result. Was a real tragic thing to happen, my Aunty has never really recovered from it. Poor lady.

That video is the first time I have thought of the accident in over 20 years. Bloody shocking but important for the skidmarks of this world to see. Respect the ride, message coming out nice and strong.

I have used a pushy to commute for years and had a couple of cars do the same thing. Very painful results as I flew over the cars on both occasions, but no worse off than a bin mountain biking. A truck doing the same thing, scary shit.

Like my dad always says;
"The bigger the bike, the bigger the brakes and tyres"
not always true I know, but you get the piont.

[discotex]

This is why owning the lane or pulling over is so important.

That is exactly what I get the shits when I see learner and scooter riders riding hard left at 70km/h on the motorways (and 40km/h in city streets). People will try to pass in the same lane.

From what I could see the truck was passing the scooter because the scooter wasn't owning their lane.

Unfortunately the scooter decided to change lanes at the point where the truck driver couldn't do shit.

Either way it's bloody gory.

[homer]

do you think he would have backed up to see what it was

[Swoop]

Fuck me! That looked like Thailand - but what gets me is that the body baggers weren't even wearing gloves!! My mate did a bicycle tour through Thailand and Vietnam and he said that in Vietnam a scooter rider had just been killed in an accident in the road up ahead and that he had to ride his bicycle through body parts and blood for fear of stopping the traffic and having the same thing happen to him!

With how close they were I am not convinced the driver new he was there.

Quick road safety lecture for those folks who have never driven a rig.

Even in a cab over there are about 2 meters in front of the bumper the driver cannot see. More if the driver is short, has stuff on the dash etc.

Never defend your lane position on any bike. Own it yes, defend it no.

Hmmm, doesn't bother me truth be told. After having read one of the first comments in the thread (the one about not wanting to let go of the pole) before watching the video I couldn't help laughing when the rescue workers started getting a bit frantic about getting him off it.

However, I find the scooter video far more cringe inducing... But truth be told - it's not the gore or the carnage itself that get to me, it's watching it unfold and just knowing that while that fella might be alive and well now, but he's not going to be well, and most likely not alive either, in another 5 seconds.

Both are fascinating photage to watch in a part of the world where we're spared the more gory sides of life...

Another example is this homepage: Wound Ballistics (http://history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/wwii/woundblstcs/default.htm)
No videos - but a lot of very graphic black and white images embedded in the text. Makes for interesting reading btw. Some bits of it are not for the faint of heart though.

It was Thailand - lived there and recognised the writing. The reason they take the scraping every last bit of body up seriously is as buddhists they believe that the next life will not suffer more if all body parts are present when they go on to their next life.
Only a select group of people in Thailand will touch a dead body (something about the dead person's bad karma attaching to you) and so many times when driving around you will see many a motorbiker who has lost a fight with a truck - oh and they don't cover the body with a sheet. A very large crowd will gather and gawk - makes for nice traffic jams while you get stuck right next to the body in the back of a taxi while you try desperately to distract your child so as they are oblivious to the whole thing :blink:
When we first arrived the hotel (where we worked) regularly had the police in trying to scare the staff into wearing helmets etc and brought along some gnarly photos. The brain in the middle of the road is one that will stay with me forever...:(

Had similar experiences when living in Singapore...interesting the difference in 'clean up' time between the various areas...

Generally one jandal on the road followed by another over 20 or so metres signalled the scene up ahead.

[Sofa]

That first video is pretty gross... Actually all of them were... But I think its just a matter of the one thing that people keep telling me before I start riding on the road: Pretend that no one on the road can see you, what you're doing or that they will anticipate what you're doing. As a rider on 2 wheels, you're so much more vulnerable, because of the smaller size of the vehicle and lack of concentration from other drivers, so we've really got to take a lot more care. Also, remember that trucks are really high up, and I've never driven one before, but I think its pretty obvious that its a lot harder for truckers to see vehicles lower down on the road.. So be careful everyone :) I really don't want to be put off riding!!!:confused::no:

The problem with trucks, especially loaded trucks is they have a longer stopping distance.

Pull in front of one at your own peril.
