Graphic Motorcycle Crash Demonstation

[Big-D]

I do hope this works this time! I recopied the photographs onto a different photo sharing website!

[SIZE=14pt]What a mess cell phones can create.!!! [/SIZE]

Do you see the motorcycle?

The Honda rider was traveling at approximately

85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she

Pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the

Motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient

Enough to avoid this accident.. The car had two passengers

And the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.

The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact

And landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were

Killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at

The Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety

Department.

What a waste of a Honda RC-30 or RC-45.

Seriously, what an ugly accident

Big-D - I remember seeing this about 4-5 years ago. There were more detailed photos that looked too bogus to be true, like the car utterly destroyed and the bike in relatively good shape, especially tank and plastic.

IIRC After much internet research by others it was discovered it was a European "staged" wreck to look like an accident to draw attention to the danger of... something, I believe it was that speed is bad. They hauled this wreck around to motorcycles shows in Europe.

I mean just look at it. The car frame of steel is cut like butter half way thru the car and yet the aluminum wheel and forks go up into the car??? I didn't realize paper cuts scissors if they go fast enough. BTW, the passenger door went where...??? The bike just fits so well with minimal damage to the rear half of the bike. How did the bike slice right thru the frame vertically, then end up side ways, with the rear wheel not following the front into the slot the front end allegedly cut? Like I said the other more detailed photos (not in your post of interior shots) bring up more questions of physics that don't look right. Otherwise it's impressive.

Sad for those involved...

...but for some of us, our purpose on earth may be just to show others what NOT to do.

That is a very old story, but the cell phone part is new. According to the original, it was pretty much the bike pilot's fault, as it was estimated he was in excess of 150mph at time of impact.

Here's a link with what is reported to be a photo of the actual crash scene.

Seems like a case of an old picture and the story drifting. Not a downright urban myth, but headed that way. I figure I'd do my part and see if we could expedite it down that path and see if it comes back as fact in a couple years. Here's how I heard it....wink....wink.

The Tie Fighter pilot was traveling at approximately

500,000 meters per second. The shuttle craft pilot was trying to use the Force when she

Pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the

Tie Fighter. The pilot's reaction time was not sufficient

Enough to avoid this accident.. The shuttle craft had two robed passengers with snazzy laser swords

And the black garbed pilot was found INSIDE the shuttle craft with them.

The shuttle craft actually flipped over from the force of impact

And landed 20 kilometers from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in the shuttlecraft and the Tie pilot) were

reduced to pools of goo and Midi-chlorians instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed

on display at The Twin Ion Engine Fair on Coruscant by the Galactic Empire Stormtrooper Space Travel Safety

Department.

This is all true! I seen it on the Intertubes! Pass it on to your friends so they are not a victim of this tragic sublight speed accident!

I am pretty sure Toecutter is right, this is an old story and it was the bikers fault.

 

[Big-D]

Unfortunately for me, I had never seen these photos before receiving it from a friend via email, who would probably qualify as one of those Midi-chlorians. But then I live in a box! With all of the recent hype, I can see where this story would have metamorphosed into blaming cell phones on the accident.

Liar those photos were doctored. I mean how could the phillips of magnesium wing sturts of the tie fighter cut through the Omni-ply Cardsteel frame of the shuttle. Plus everyone knows shuttels only have 20 megatons of cargo space so how could an entire tie fighter fit inside, especially with such little damage to the engines. I mean look how the wings fit inside the pilot area but somehow the engines are still perfectly aligned.

This was all staged by the corellian alliance to show that hebeJebe brakes are better.

Its ok Big-D, im sure it was one of those new fangeled iPhones.

Old news. I'm with FJRBluesman on this one.
