    Coming across a high speed head on accident on a remote highway on a cold winter night with clear airey skies and absoloute silence - silence which is only pierced with a faint moan or cry for help... that scars your memory.

    And the smell.

    Then you continue driving cruising around 120 - 130 kmp/h trying not to fall asleep at the wheel.

    Hardly anyone learns from another persons mistake, whether we are made aware of it or not.

    How many of you have pissed on an electric fence?

    I hear ya but when it comes to the rest of lifes lessons NOBODY wants to hear such sage advice.

    I deal with so many morons that even the electric fence adivice would elude them.

    Seen a few dead folks, in not nice circumstances. Never a good experience. Undignified. That's what always strikes me. Death under such circumstances is always so lacking in dignity. I wouldn't want to go that way, in a pool of my own vomit, blood, piss, and shit.And have to have some copper come in and clean up my corpse.

    The old lady whose death I attended today died with dignity, 80+ years old.

    Don't think she ever rode a motorbike though.

    Yes. Death can be dignified, ennobling even. I am close enough to the event to be aware of that. But wrapping yoursalf around a pole at warp speed, because you thought the laws of physics didn't apply to you, seldom is.

    Then let the curious kids look. If they are horrified , so much the better.Maybe they will remember it in a few years time when some cool dude wants them to go for a ride in his spaz wheelz.

    Reality is shit. And somewhere along the line all kids have to learn that. It is what distinguishes the adult from the kid. If they can learn it off the internet where the hurt is only a cyber hurt, so much the better. Better than learning it in a hospital bed.

    I so whole heartedly disagree.

    There is no way in hell I would want my 11 year old or 13 year old look at shit like that. I want to protect my kids from ever seeing such gruesome things. I don’t want them to be desensitized against death and such awful things. There’s no need for it. That particular video is too much. Reality isn’t looking at a video of people scooping up someone’s brains on the internet. I’m not suggesting that image isn’t real....looking at is on a monitor isn’t the same as being there.

    I choose not to work in an industry that deals with such things. I choose as a mother, a parent, to protect my children from seeing things like that. Yes kids have to learn...but what kind of lesson is this offering children? Brains are mushy? WHEN they are old enough to learn how to drive/ride I still wouldn’t want them to see it.

    It should only be accessible to adults only FULL STOP. There is no lesson for kids to learn here.

    If they should see such horrible things in real life. I want them to be horrified...I don’t want them used to it.

    Ah, the ancient conflict betwixt mothers and boys.

    I do not disrespect what you say or where you are coming from. And if your children are all girls, well and good.

    But, (again, no disrespect intended) mothers, being chicks, can never understand how these things grab dudes (ie, your sons).

    You want to protect your kids from exposure to such things. That is a natural instinct for a mother. But, in the case of boy child, so wrong. Boys need to be exposed to such things, it tempers their natural testosterone driven instincts. That of course is the role of fathers. To tell their sons "Yeah, this is what it's really like. And sometimes it's real shit, don't tell, your mother about this though"

    Boys need to be exposed to things that horrify their mothers, It is part of the rites of passage of a man.
