Crash

[radman]

But in case one wonders how bad it can be, these pics should slow you down on the way home. WARNING-these are bad, and it is not a joke or a fooled ya series. Found while looking for something else.

Ride smart, ride safe. As I understand, this happened in OK.

Holly ****!! Makes you think twice...

The last photo is also posted on ridetodie.com but offers no information as to circumstances.

I took a good look and I'm not totally sure what I'm looking at there. I'm pretty sure of what I see but I'm just going to try to let it go.

Uggg! That is horrible. He was even fully suited up....had to be traveling at Mach speed.

Sorry to see that happen to anybody.

Real Scary.

Anything like that will definately make you think twice.

But that looks staged to me.

Good thing he was wearing a helmet.

I agree...everything is piled into one area.

To me, it appears as though the first responders moved the body parts and shrapnel to the roadside to allow traffic movement while waiting for the ambulance/coroner/or whoever has to carry him away. If you look, it appears there are drag marks indicating the original position of the peices.

This gets the staged vs piled for parts arguement every time it gets posted.

The story is he was supposedly doing 120 on an R-1

Geez Rad

Do a search will ya

What I find strange (kind of like the bare foot dude in Ponyfool's post) is that this one has a left tennis shoe and a right boot left over in his carnage.

All I've learned today is that if I wear footwear and ensure that it matches, I have a fighting chance... :blink:

Hey, yer attgat is working wonders. Go "attgatters" Go.................

OK. I can see crashing at a buck-20 doing some serious damage, but it looks to me that he hit something other than just pavement like a truck. Seriously he looks like some deer or something than got run over. I mean you see guys get off at high speeds all the time at the track, and a lot of them get up and walk away. Something cut that guy in half and I doubt it was from sliding across the asphalt. IMHO

Yeah, I'm thinking he tangoed with something with no mercy.

 

[Scab]

Perhaps the metal sign posts? Perhaps some of the now-on-fire trees?

 

[Thug]

Hitting any solid object like that will literally make you explode! Yes I have many of those I use then as part of a trainingg series in my lectures...Sometimes ATGATT makes no difference...Some classic De-acceleration injuries there...

Are you for ******* real???? **** me talk about paranoia!

 

[TriggerT]

Odd photo. The shoe thing is for sure something to give me pause. I don't care what gear you are wearing or not wearing, if you hit something solid at 120 MPH, all bets are off. Actually, I will bet you are dead. I still keep to wearing my stich though, if nothing else is helps when I catch birds at 80 MPH.

 

[Scab]

There is a very plausible scenario for the boot and shoe: He wore boots to ride but carried shoes to change into when the ride was over.
