:blink: that is one nasty accident. :crazy: I wanted to look away but couldn't help but watch it more than twice. Slow down at intersections and be prepared to stop man!!!! Good to see him moving at the end there....

[outlawtorn]

holy shee-ite balls!!! That was a mean accident, I would've thought they would be a goner but the guy was moving, amazing!

[icekiwi]

Hope he wasn't wearing an open face see the way he kissed that windscreen..

[BadCompany]

I saw that a wee bit back when searching for 'scooter accidents'. Teaches him for riding a scooter.

Haha I just found the funniest video. People, racing SCOOTERS.

That last one is funny:2thumbsup

Ouch - puts you off riding a scooter lol

Ouch - puts you off riding a scooter lol

I doubt the situation would have been much better if he'd been on a bike though.

If anything that video illustrates why running the reds is just not ok. And disturbingly I see it every day around here. I wonder how many people needs to be hurt by red light runners before the authorities are going to shift their attention towards the issue instead of just speeding enforcement.

But I guess we'll need to wait a few years, hope for a new government, etc - because "speed kills" is currently the official policy and as such no sane debate is going to shift the focus.

Yeah cause we all know that on a real motorbike the car would have just bounced off eh :weird:

[chanceyy]

ouchy ouchy ouchy .... one must remember to stop at lights & give way ..

I am with you number one .. could only watch twice

[Jdogg]

I cant view the vid cause Im at work ..but is it the one where he gets knocked off by a car coming from the left then pretty much lands on his feet like a ninja and proceeds to walk around ranting at the lady that hit him?

[GurlRacer]

No, thats not the one. But send us a link Jdogg :D

I seriously thought he was some kind of crash dummy at first, the way he gets knocked around looks like he's just rubber. Not nice! :(

[Jdogg]

I'll post the link tonight but for all those that cant wait just search either, man on scooter hit by car OR man on scooter hit by car but lands on feet with ninja likeness :2thumbsup it is amazing, he gets hit then gets up and starts walking around ranting at this stunned woman who hit him ...very funny especially since he looks pretty much uninjured :headbang:

[007XX]

Man, talk about being tossed about like a ragdoll!

The speed of either vehicle doesn't seem to be that great either, so just goes to show how much damage can be done in little time.

[firefighter]

holy shee-ite balls!!! That was a mean accident, I would've thought they would be a goner but the guy was moving, amazing!

yeah he's moving but i'd say that's involuntary movement........

Umm... did you happen to notice the lol? Did you think for one moment that my comment may have been tongue in cheek? It appears that you two may need to sit back and take a chill pill before responding to other members obviously less serious replies... cos gee whiz... I really REALLY think that a crash like this can ONLY happen to a scooter rider :blink:

I refer to your own advice above. :niceone:

And I'm sorry - tongue in cheek or not - I can not see the humour in someone being injured due to the incompetence of others. Had it been the scooter running the reds I'd be the first to point and laugh... However, what you see in that video could become very painful reality for any of us here. :calm:

If you wanna laugh at something, take this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYLNQRROHxg&NR=1
Noone but the rider to blame for whatever pain and injury they might have sustained.

Dude, you take things way too seriously - the video in all likelyhood is a setup - the fact that it portrays someone being hurt is one aspect of it... my comment was not laughing at or making fun of the injuries possibly sustained. It was a throwaway comment about a riding a scooter... lighten up, if you take everything so seriously you'll have a stroke.

And would you really point and laugh at someone being injured because they made a mistake and ran a red light... that says more about you than my comment says about me.

Mate, if it makes you feel better to believe that all videos that show people getting hurt are staged events, by all means go ahead. Believing so is probably either deceiving yourself or failing to accept the harsher truths of the physical reality that you live in.

Yes, sometimes I laugh when people get hurt through fault of their own - and no, that doesn't make me a bad person... I'm just honest enough to admit it. Well, that is I laugh at videos - if I was present I probably would be too busy giving first aid... Besides, I'm not talking about making mistakes - there are plenty of people out there who just fail to engage their brains before engaging in potentially fatal activities.

As for taking things too serious - you started out by misinterpreting my comment that the situation wouldn't have been much different had the fella been on a motorcycle as a personal attack on your 1st post, which it was not. Have a glass of wine and dodge your own stroke...

[glice]

thats pretty gnarly.
I got hit by a car at work (postie) and was up on my feet swearing before the guy even had his hands off the wheel. stupid prat.

[Jdogg]

This is one of the worst ones ive seen, !!Warning!!

Bit of a case of "Hey You! outa the gene pool". This world is WAAAY to PC.
