Bike Crash images

**scumdog** · 24th August 2004, 17:58

One of my workmates recieved an e-mail depicting a series of crash pictures from a crash involving a sports bike vs a tree at 200+kmh.
All I can say is that it wouldn't have hurt and it would have been easy to pick up the guy as most of his bits look like they weighed less than 20kg!

Ironicly (sp) the most intact part of him was the lower part of his head (there wasn't a top) and the helmet looked pretty good too

Bike wasn't too flash neither!

Ride Safe People!!!

edit: Very graphic crash images.

Trees aren't all that forgiving, i had a crash outside my old place in mt albert old ford falcon vs tree, falcons are pretty solid cars, tree's are more solider and made a mess out of the car, 3 dead, and for some reason the driver survived who had no licence and was 3 times over the adult limit.

What got me most was the parents supplied the kid with the car and the piss, go figure.

Hate to think what a bike vs tree would turn out like...... indeed ride safe everyone.

Yea... I try my best to be as safe as possible while having fun at the same time... I'd hate to put people who care about me through the crap of dealing with the loss etc just cause I decided to run into a tree at 200+! Not to mention the firemen, police people who have to deal with the mess...

Hmmm... It is a horrible reality... makes you wonder sometimes...

I was living just down the road from the crash in mount albert!
the falcon did not even move the tree but it still has a few marks

Yeah makes me think when im trying to catch you, "i wonder if that farm fence would work like a cheese cutter????"

As everyone is saying, be safe.... Its better to be alive and ride another day, than to have cred and be dead.....

One of the many occupations I havew had was that of a hospital orderly. On this ocassion I was working in the morgue when this guy was bought in. He had been hit by a train on a motor bike. Still intact but if you can imagine an infaltable doll half pumped up and covered in tar, (bruising) you may be able to imagine what this guy looked like.

Be safe people be safe.

Someone pointed out to me once that if a rider hits an unyeilding object (wall, tree etc) head on at 100kph that rider is dead. It don't matter if you're wearing Dainese, it don't matter if you're wearing Arai. Your brain gets smashed to shit inside your skull. Remember you are mortal.

Hey, what a coincidence! the guy I mentioned was wearing an Arai jacket, thats how you could tell which way round he was 'facing' - if he had a face!

His helmet looked comparatively empty of brains though.

Did you see him wearing it before tha crash, or was that just after the crash that the helmet was empty?

Ask White Trash about farm fences and how good his Jim Whittam rep Bell Helmet was.......... if you buy a cheap helmet, you got a death wish!

Yuck.

I bet he did it in an inconsiderate place re. cleanup, too.

Still, a load of 00 buck into the skull is a pretty foolproof method if you're serious about shuffling off the mortal ignition coil. Girlies and 'please, cruel world, give me some attention' attempted suicides prefer pills and wrist-slashing, I've heard.

It was a guy. Right?

**Motoracer** · 25th August 2004, 14:56

Daym! Where did the shoe come from? Did he have a pillion as well?

Could have been because by fatigue or a wheelie landing that went wrong? Road looks perfect and straight...
