Well, riding like an *****? Check. Wearing sneakers and jeans? Check. Hurt bad? I'd guess so. Too bad. Pay attention to the lesson, boys and girls.
At least the guy behind in the slow lane hit the binders fast. But what was that weird scream/giggle after the crash?

I agree! That was waaaay too fast for those conditions. If he survived that, he won't ride like that again. Ouch is a good word Gixxer!

Coming home in our pickup just a while ago squid come by us in a 55mph construction zone doing 100+ and just missed us by inches going between us and another car in the lane near us. He lucked out this time......pm.

O, Woe is me!!
I don't know that he was riding stoopid fast, just that he was faster than everybody else who'd seen the lane blockage and slowed down. He could well have been riding at traffic speed before the incident.
The stoopid part is missing the clue of all the brake lights. The car he hit had brakes on for quite a while before he hit it. That, and the ol' 2-second/4-second/12-second scan. He surely wasn't looking far enough ahead.

Looked at it a couple more times. WTF was the giant emergency that made the guy in the white van just STOP in the fast lane of the highway?? Like FJR Guy's nemesis that forced him off the road last week and then kept driving, probably even too stupid and unaware to know he'd almost killed somebody, that guy almost surely went home and slept like a baby that night. :angry2:

If you look at it again a little slower, you'll see the white van I think you are referring to actually has its hazards on and a traffic cone (who carries these in their car) in the lane behind the vehicle. Looks like a mechanical breakdown which is supported by a passenger or driver standing outside the vehicle. Regardless of the cause, the guy on the bike was following far too close to blame anyone but himself.

Sorry, but unless the "mechanical breakdown" was the complete simultaneous seizure of all four wheels and he couldn't move at all, I don't care how many traffic cones he put a couple car lengths behind his car. He had no business stopping in any traffic lane, let alone the hot lane of a freeway. Too many ******** think it's fine to stop wherever they are when they notice they have a flat. I was taking a connecting ramp from one freeway to another last year and when I made it two-thirds of the way around a sharp and blind curve, suddenly, there she was, stopped on the right side of the narrow ramp, with her jack and spare laying next to the car. That's all too common. "Ooo, I'll damage my tire if I drive a couple hundred yards on a flat to get to a safe place." We were all damn lucky nobody hit her.
Yeh, the rider in your vid was wrong, but a big share of the blame (and none of the pain) goes to Mr./Ms. Minivan. And those flashers aren't too effective once that first car is forced to stop behind you.
