Saw a bit of it...a good reality check for some that think they'll be right 'cause they've got the skills to manage anything.
Mr Katman...now didn't you say that motorcycling wasn't inherently more dangerous?

That rider's brains did seem pretty scrambled immediately after the accident. Head injuries are bastards.
I must say, he was a good sport letting them show that footage of him in the ambo. I'd have been quite embarrassed to be seen flopping around and bellowing like that on national television.

I saw the snippet. Car turned across biker's path, biker went into front left guard and then head first into the top corner of windshield and roof (nice dent from his head). The bike apparently flipped over the car and it wasn't clear but maybe the biker kept flying over the car too.
The biker suffered a head injury and weeks on still couldn't remember the two days after the accident. TV show didn't mention any broken bones. Post crash interview with the biker and he said the accident wasn't going to stop him riding and he said that as bikers we have to treat other motorists as the enemy.
The guy was quite athletic and young which I think would have helped minimise the injuries.
Car that hit him was full of 'the boys' heading home after a game of touch rugby. I wonder if the driver of the car was distracted by all his mates?
Anyway, that was pretty much everything that happened
He (Matt) didn't have any broken legs, cos of the way his legs were flaying all over the place, when he was on the ambo bed. Just had that nasty graze on his left knee.
I thought that the ambo's were going to have to restrain him, with the way he was carrying on.
Matt, even tried to lift up his head a couple of times...... and the ambo's had to forceably hold his head down......
The ambo's would have been concerned for neck or back injuries, but Matt didnt want to listen to them at all, which would possibly lead the ambo's to think he may have had a head injury.
He did seem to calm down a bit after morphine was given and finally hit the blood stream.
Matt was filmed only a month after the accident.... so Matt got off lightly from that accident...... and probably best he didn't remember the actual accident.

Seeing you naked doesn't sound appealing.Leaked?

Paying to see you naked is even less so.
having said that do you have a KB's wives site?

Easy to say. I guess the natural reaction is to jump on everything and when the adrenalin surges there's a chance the brain may not immediately engage.
That's exactly what happened to me this morning as I was going a round a bend and a car started to pull out in front of me from a side road at the apex of the bend. Don't think it was fully locked up but the back wheel was certainly chattering across the road as it slid out a wee bit.

Time you did a riding course then??
The weight of your foot on the pedal as your weight gets thrown forward when you haul on the picks is all the force you need.
Only 10% of the braking force comes from the rear, 90% from the front.
Adrenalin/ panic... what ever. Can't say I have ever had the desire to "Jump" on the rear pedal.

either you know Matt, or think you get a prize for mentioning his name!
...and I don't wanna die, just want to ride my motorcy...cle (Arlo Guthrie)
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Well considering they said his name on the programme.... over and over.....
I think I only said his name once..... and using his name is giving him respect....
rather than calling him he, he, he, he and he......... lol.

It's not. Try the same accident in a 1950s car while not wearing a seat belt.
Car driving is nearly as dangerous as motorcycling. The difference is that there are far more safety devices for cars than bikes (crumple zones, seat belts, air bags, ...)
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-90)
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending to much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
"Motorcycling is not inherently dangerous. It is, however, EXTREMELY unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence and stupidity!" - Anonymous

Mentioned his name once, Crashe??? Not "once" at all...

saw that. im guessing matt didnt have a clue what he was doing, that he was in an ambo, and that the people holding him down were trying to help. considering the dent, it likely scrambled his head enough to throw things out of reality. chances are, matt was only partially consious [sp?] and his actions were more instinctive than deliberate.
i know after my own bin, where i didnt even hit my head, i was a bit loopy, trying to refuse ambo, assistance and wanting to go to work.

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
