What if a sparrow...

[BuzzardNZ]

Not quite bird related, but I once had a bee inside my helmet, sitting right next to my cheek on the helmet padding. I stopped pretty quickly. Luckily it didn't sting me.

This actually happened to me a few weeks ago, but it was a wasp, which can sting multiple times ( bees can only string once then die ) The bastard stung me twice, just below my eye and also on the cheek. The next day it looked like I'd done a few rounds with Mike Tyson! Still, got 2 days off work, so wasn't all bad.

Did it chew half your ear off too?

Did you eat it bro? Some good eating in them suckers, especially when they are into the Miro berries.

What if a sparrow... hits a biker? I was coming back home and suddenly I saw a little bird pointing to my chest. Luckily he diverted last instant and nothing happened. But although I wasn't on a race track I can't say I was traveling too slow (about 100 km/h). I don't know nearly anything about this kind of accident. Due to bad environmental policies and tons of people and hunters there are very few animals by now in Italy. But what better than to ask kiwis about such event? What would happened to me if the sparrow hadn't avoided me?

cheers!

Apx.

(I cant believe that hadn't been done yet)

just for the hell of it...

sparrow weight 24 to 39grams // 30grams = 450grains
bike & sparrow combined impact speed 120kph = 110 feet per second..

450grains @ 110fps = 12.9fpe "foot pound of energy"

Not going to do any real damage in the chest...

This is a month old thread but I have some info!
I was doing 100KPh on a northland back road a few months ago and I kissed a sparrow with my visor.......Did I say Kissed? I meant OBLITERATED. Red mist, sparrow shit and pieces of feather (not even whole feathers were left) everywhere.

It made a huge bang and I felt the impact, it was like getting hit by a fast moving tennis ball I guess, no neck strain or anything. the only damage was one of the front vent switches on my AGV K4 was smashed off. I just wiped the shit off with my glove and kept going, I looked like an axe murderer when I got to work though.

I reckon it would have stung a little copping it in the chest, but I seriously doubt it'd hurt that much.

Now kicking a possum whilst peg dragging round a tight bend with my brake foot.....Now that prick hurt like a sumofabitch!

Birds ae..

Also, was it carrying a coconut?

I have seen a guinea fowl go through a car windshield at 160kph and ended up on the back seat. Its probably the size of a large chicken- but tough as nails...
