Bike vs Sheep, Masterton 19/01/2013

Unless of course you slow down while sliding

Assuming linear deceleration thats 7.2 seconds of slide, whheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Does that include air time from being pitched over the sheep?

Only if you have reading comprehension issues with the OP.

Wasn't the claim slid for 100m? Not travelled 100m after impact.

[Asher]

But deceleration isn't linear, although I believe sliding that far and decapitating a sheep is quite plausable

now you are applying grammatically exactitude to inexact collision description. But air time would still apply because even if your "slid 100m" was actual slide time then you have lose of momentum during the airtime to account for.

No nO no! Dont suggest that he slid THEN decapitated the sheep. People will get more confused!

Meh, best guess from the info at hand (which was originally to fix somebody else's half-assed guess), forgive me if I haven't made many tenuous assumptions and spend hours looking through text book results of SCU reports...

How good of a lubricant is fresh sheep blood?

Oooh, kinky.

[skippa1]

did anyone measure the 100m? It seems to be a very round number. Also if the sheep took an immediate left turn(assuming it was approaching the bike from the left), just before impact....the bike may not have lost momentum so quickly so he might have been able to slide that far. It could be that the sheeps head was loose to start with and he just "knocked it off"?

Oh mayn, glad to hear your ok!

Thats some scary stuff, lucky it wasn't a horse

I don't think oggy knobs would've saved that one Imagine if you had a gopro!!

lucky it wasnt 2 horses actually it is less likely that a horse would have been hidden in the long grass and jumped out surprising him by dislodging its head onto the road

Unless it was a grass coloured type horse playing silly games. Or he was doing 300kmp/h in which case the horse could've been in full sprint across the road but at that speed would still have been surprising :P

It would be a careless camo horse to be sprinting with a loose head.....perhaps this is where the term "horseplay" stems from?

Perhaps he's just talking his accident up.
