Pedestrian wiped out in freak bike accident.

Not gruesome but the result is obvious, and from the report that accompanied the video the pedestrian was killed. Biker ran the red light at speed and clipped a turning vehicle.

Holy crap. One minute you're minding your own business walking across a gigantic zebra crossing and the next minute you're dead

[Grubber]

That would account for the lack of interest by pedestrians.
Pretty sad state.

thats a shocker!

In what kind of country does nobody check on the injured person lying in the middle of the road

It's a psychological phenomenon called the bystander effect, the more people there are present at an occurrence like this, the lower the likelihood is of any one person lending assistance.

What are the odds of being pwned by a bike you're not even riding.

My reaction, too, was "wow, so much for anyone taking a concern in the poor pedestrian lying motionless on the crossing!". Subsequent posts might explain that, but I still couldn't believe the vehicles still going through the crossing while the body lay there.

Thanks to Reality TV everything is just a spectator sport. Sad state of affair for sure.

That would be Florida, US of A.

Probably too worried about being sued if the assistance they gave him made his injuries worse...

That is correct - advice given in the USA is to not provide any first aid unless you are medically qualified to do so. Very different to here where providing help and first aid is expected.

Incredible. Such a sorry, social comment. Shame on us all for allowing some societies to prevent the decent human in all of us from responding to this situation as we should, for fear of being sued!

Fairly obvious the outcome, where is the decent human that made the effort to comfort the critically injured person. Who thought Fuckit! and rushed to the aid of the pedestrian, we cant see the biker in the clip, but no doubt the same thing is happening there.

Shame, shame shame.

That shame is also to the biker that created this horrible situation. WTF (Where the fuck) was his brain?????
