Yup. And if the pictures themselves don't make people stop and think and ease back on that twisty thing : try imagining your mother/wife/partner/father/husband/whatever having to go along to the morgue and identify you - when you're looking like that.

I agree 100% with what you're saying...the only thing I'm pissy about is my boy was standing within view of the screen
Excellent point shown....extremely bad delivery. How about a warning next time eh?

Didnt click on it to see but Im thinking if you got something graphic to post if you dont warn people its a sin bin offence, this is a public forum ie Kids can come on here, my kids !!
Ive run out of fucks to give
Well the ones who were in pieces, absoloutely nothing.
There were a few pictures of riders that had sustained quite nasty injuries, I believe a decent jacket with armour, leather pants with hardcore knee protectors and a quality pair of boots, plus a good back protector, would of reduced the severity of the injury.
Take for example my bin on Mark's pitbike last night, if I had of been wearing knee pads I wouldn't have a chunk of skin missing. My helmet and jacket handled just fine, however my elbow is slightly bruised.
If I was in a leather jacket/nothing else I don't think my elbow would be "just bruised". More likely a broken/chipped bone.
I have a stake. Lets burn him instead.

Uh, some of those guys were in several pieces? The photo shows the pieces, with the guy's helmet in the centre. One had a helmet,it ended up stuck in the grille of the truck . One was decapitated. Helmet stayed on, head didn't. Magic gear may help, won't guarantee.

Shit happens.
I ride because its not stressful, I enjoy every minute of it, even the scary near-fuckups upon reflection (and a change of underwear).
Personally, I don't see the point in worrying too much. If you have the right gear, that is the best you can do.

Sorry mate I didn't mean to word it to sound like that
Was too busy trying not to swear at the time

those pictures are alll prob from america where you dont have to wear a helmet and can ride any cc bike when you want (in most states or some at least)

You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying...

Immature and proud of it.
I'm getting a little sick of crash pictures to be honest. I've seen enough of the real thing and THAT never stopped me riding.

Stupidity kills people.

I agree with point that trying to be made here, but I don't agree that such graphic pictures are the way to achieve that. Promoting biker safety is one thing but posting a link to such graphic and disturbing pictures is another.
FF,RR,SM and others have a job that I do not envy. I'll help out as much as I can but I couldn't take seeing that regularly. You guys have the utmost respect for the essential work you do. Thanks.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
