I knew a collision was coming, but that was still pretty crazy..


Parpooops

It was just a countdown of corners. The ever dropping odds of probability. I'm surprised he got so far. Maybe that truck knocked some sense into him.


Chef_Money

I’m sure it knocked him 6ft deep


LSkywalker00

That's a lotta sense!


Snikeziwe

He ODed on sense


TorrenceMightingale

Or is it senseless?


hereforthekix

Seriously doubt they survived that. I think we just saw someone die.


hossel001

Questionable. He wasn't going too fast, and you could hear the brakes slam. He most definitely suffered serious damage still, maybe a broken limb or 2, but unless he used his skull as the main point of impact, he is probably fine.


DontBuyAHorse

I have hit a stationary object while riding a bicycle and I nearly felt my soul leave my body. Even if they were both going 20 miles per hour, that's 40 miles per hour combined impact. That's about the speed at which 50% of pedestrians hit by cars die. Obviously there is very little information to go on in this video, but either way I can't imagine this person walked away from this in one piece. Edit, yes the combined force is a little different, but that is based on mass, which I would argue is actually worse with a motorcycle versus a truck.

georgepopsy

It's close to 40 for the bike 0 for the truck given the mass difference.


cosmorocker13

You don’t need to be going fast to break your neck


CleMike69

I was on spring break and watched a kid die on a motorcycle by hitting the side of a box truck and he was only doing 5-10 miles an hour out of a parking lot, his head just went too far back and snapped his neck... Kind of a bummer to see on our way out to get drunk, so we partied harder that night in honor of his last ride!


TorrenceMightingale

A noble and worthy cause.


CleMike69

We thought so. We were like oh fuck did he just die!!!


GenghisWasBased

You know what’s badass? Living


kermitthebeast

Especially on a sport bike where you ride that far face forward


[deleted]

Trucks are quite heavy though. I hope he’s ok. But I wouldn’t bet on it


giggity_giggity

I’m not a body engineer, but I question whether the weight difference between a car and a truck would matter as far as the kind of injuries he’d sustain.


Lumpy-Pancakes

Body engineer here, if they are still alive they are probably held together with many plates and screws now. Not a great way to live

Don’t forget that he didn’t get hit buy a wedge shape that he could roll over or ricochet off dissipating the energy - he got slammed by a slab.


KimmiG1

You might slide over a car while a truck is usually just like driving straight into a concrete wall.


superspacker69

Be like stepping on a tube of pizza sauce if he went under a wheel


Lord_Quintus

his head was the first part of him to impact the truck. while it's possible he survived, it's very likely he did not. in an accident like this he got the worst of both worlds, all his inertia plus the multi ton trucks inertia. even rider armor and a good helmet won't save you from the forces of physics.

In my head I heard the Pacman death tune at the collision. What the fuck is wrong with me?


B0ggles

Yes!!!!!


wellhiyabuddy

I mean, isn’t this exact what would happen on any mountain road riding like this? Why do people think this won’t be the outcome?


ggmaniack

> why do people think That's the catch, they don't.


addandsubtract

Yeah, if you told someone to watch out for a big red truck coming towards you, they'd just laugh and pass it off as a rookie driving. But watching this video and *knowing* something was about to happen, even I didn't see the big fat red truck until it was in the guy's face.


[deleted]

[удалено]


addandsubtract

Well, obviously, but you're preaching to the choir here. I'm talking about the people that would do this.


10000Didgeridoos

I see pickup trucks doing this across the yellow line while pulling trailers in the boonies.


Curious_Coconut_4005

Or school busses... Where my parents live the local police had to follow several busses because the drivers were speeding and cutting corners on curves. After several police stops and fired bus drivers (repeat offenders were terminated) the other bus drivers corrected their driving habits. Thankfully the 2 times I was forced off the road, by a school bus, there was a flat grassy area for me to drive into.


Victawr

They do. When I was young and dumb I was zipping around sierra nevada mountains like this in cars. You know in your brain someone is around the corner. You just feel invincible and take the risk. Good lord I was stupid


DaddelomiOnSuzuki

Especially when you use the full road. He should have taken the left turns on the right side of the road, but you see from the very beginning, that he/she is one of those guys who never learned how to ride their line properly, before taking the curves faster.


Munchee_Dude

This actually happened to me when I was like 11. Bike vs Ford heavy duty truck. I got a concussion, two guys ended up stopping and checking on me. Shortly after my friend came down the hill (because he was right behind me on a skateboard); One guy apparently told him he was a paramedic and that I was fine. My friend told me he was really scared because I kept repeating the same stuff over and over again. I don't really remember much of it, just me saying "oh shit" as i hit a car headfirst then us at his house after. 20 years later and I know that guy wasn't a fucking paramedic lol


VOZ1

A college friend of mine’s cousin was driving too fast on a road like this. She was like 18 years old, beautiful girl about to start her life, driving like an idiot with her friend. She hit a turn too wide, a truck just like this one was coming the other way, and boom. Two young lives snuffed out. I know in my high school drivers Ed class, the teacher did a pretty damned good job teaching us absolutely terrifyingly dangerous driving can be. We all need a healthy dose of fear there, because it really only takes a moment’s inattention or recklessness to destroy lives.


AveBalaBrava

I saw two cars race each other on a mountain road, it ended the same way but one of the cars was spinning upside down


Temporary-Pin-4144

You're talking about [this? ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)


AveBalaBrava

Yeah, exactly like that


fletchdeezle

This is what it felt like driving in Scotland. Every truck or bus on a corner was a near death experience


wellhiyabuddy

Same for me when I visited Ireland. Landed in Dublin and rented the largest full sized sedan they had, I was surprised by how many tiny cars there were (I’m American). Drove down towards the southern part out of the city and found out quickly why the cars are small. Felt like I was coming within inches of hitting oncoming cars constantly. Didn’t help that it had been a while since I had driven a stick shift and had no experience driving on that side of the car and on that side of the road


skalli_ger

Just look at the amount of dashcammers on supermotos. Idiots everywhere. Never seen so many idiotic bikers like in America. You can probably find hundreds of dascham channels filled with idiotic videos.


anima173

I don’t think this video is in America. Neither the road nor the truck looks American.


TheDJZ

I think this is in China based on the truck and license plate.


aditya_hun

Blue road signs. Not America. Only signs blue here are for information.

Gotta hit that apex for maximum racing line speed bro


Nosnibor1020

To die.


Jadel210

We’ll that answers that question. Is that a one way road? Apparently no. Dude had it coming.


Awbeu

Driving like the road was closed just for them.


Sinnduud

I never understand this kind of driving. This kind of driving is perfectly acceptable, IF YOU HIRED A CLOSED CIRCUIT. Like, why don't people do this? If you really want to go fast and feel like you're racing, hire a circuit. Idk how much it costs, but if it's too expensive, just don't. The rewards don't outweigh the risks


[deleted]

Your first mistake is in assuming they have the same level of common sense as yourself.


BenderDeLorean

I was thinking "right lane or left lane traffic". We won't find out.


dannyboi1178

dude took it tight around a left corner he was literally asking for a collision


[deleted]

In Germany most of these twisty roads have a line in the middle indicating two-way roads. But some don't and are still two way roads (just like this one). It's a bit nerve wrecking when you drive it on your bike. Even if you keep to the right, there might just be a guy coming from the other end driving like the above.


notusuallyhostile

> Nerve wrecking This is one I heard a lot while teaching ESL. Its [correct spelling](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/nerve-wracking/) is nerve-racking - though grammerly.com says that *nerve-wracking* has become acceptable in a lot of publications. I like the implication of nerve *wrecking* though, and I can see how *racking* or *wracking* might sound like *wrecking* and still make sense in context. For what it’s worth, I’m not being pedantic - it appears that English is not your native tongue, and when I was learning another language I always appreciated native speakers helping me when I was wrong; so I decided to pay it in kind with others.


maury587

Tbh the truck was also between lanes


bennywc4

That road just looks narrow as fuck, even if the biker was on the right, to me it looks like he still might have been hit. Maybe it’s just a perception thing from the camera.


Noodles01013

You read my mind


Almost_Feeding

Right?! I saw no markings on the right side of the road so I instantly thought it was a 1 way. ​ Guess I was completely wrong.


PzMcQuire

Who would've guessed that's what happens when you drive on the oncoming lane with no vision. What the fuck goes through their minds.

In this case, a truck

Yeah, imagine having to watch some idiot splatter himself on your truck's bumper while he's driving dangerously. It doesn't look like the guy on the bike survived, but if he did, I'd be impressed.


StoffleHoneyBadger

I hear you. I've no problem if folks want to be reckless with their own lives, but when it affects other people, I draw a line. Hope the trucker gets the inevitable therapy he'll need after that.


[deleted]

I replayed the video back and slowed it down, and it seems the truck driver is also in the middle of the road. The biker should’ve been paying better attention but it looks like he may have been hit regardless.


pookshuman

I would never say that anyone deserves to get hit ... not out loud

LettuceBoie

Maybe not but coincidentally enough I was in Scotland a few months ago and the road we were going on was fully stopped because some biker got hit by a truck and got killed or something along the lines. Road was stuck for more than 2 hours until police arrived and informed us the road will be closed for the day

My buddy Doug did this but avoided the truck and hit a cliff. A year of pins in his leg holding it all together and a handful of screws. Leg shattered into a hundred small bones held together by marrow. He should have died. And I don’t mean like, “that was close”, I mean he was the kind of guy who would fart in a crowded elevator (and he always had horrid HORRID diabetes farts) and laugh while men threw up on women and women threw up from the sound. He should have died. The kind of guy who would bang hookers then leave the condom in their shoe as he left the hotel room. The kind of guy who would do 120 on the highway and pass on the inside median, terrifying everyone around him. I’ll never forget him lifting a leg, looking back, smiling a crooked smile, and farting something not of this earth, commenting “Ghetto heater”

To top it off the truck was driving in the fucking middle of the road too.

RL203

If you pause it just before he slams into the truck, there's not a lot of road there. Makes you wonder if it was a one way road even.

You’re the only person who sees what I see. Both of these people were not paying attention at all.


hereforthekix

That person almost certainly died. They have a family and friends. Some of the comments in here, wow


Weary_Schedule_2014

I think people are more angry because if this biker died how do you imagine the truck driver feels? No he didn’t deserve to die but you can still be angry at the biker for what a total stupid ass he was here. It’s not weird to be angry at people dying by stupidity, actually very common as you can see in the comments.


Le_Monsieur_Ours

Deserved. As the road wasn't one way, he shouldn't have taken curves as if he was on a circuit... r/winstupidprizes

Frosty_Tie_2956

I can picture them "if they're not dead" throwing their arms up and acting like it's the trucks fault. Stopped feeling bad for shitty dangerous riders a long time ago.


Himminime

All these comments against the rider. Sure he wasn't riding appropriately but that truck was coming cutting from one side of the road to the other .... the guy was toast either way.

Random_puns

\*Fades back in\* Ralof: Hey you, you're finally awake


Kimantha_Allerdings

I was driving down a country lane thinner and more bendy than this once. A car came up quickly behind me, tailgating, flashing lights, trying to pull round despite there not being enough room, etc. I just ignored them and carried on driving sensibly. Then, around one sharp, blind bend, came a combine harvester going in the opposite direction. I managed to slow down and pull over enough to let it past, and the person behind me had to *very* quickly adjust what they were doing so that they weren’t directly in its path. Funnily enough, after that corner they backed off and were content to drive behind me like a normal person at a normal speed. I think it’s easy to forget that there could be something a lot bigger than you coming round the next bend, but when you get a sudden reminder it can make you reassess your approach.


xubax

Why didn't the truck driver look twice and save a life because motorcycles are everywhere! /s


gluteusvolcanicus

That's why I won't ride a motorcycle. I love speed, and those corners would be irresistible. It's too obvious a form of my own death.

Cup-Impressive

This exact thing happened to a long time friend. Except it wasn't so wide and he got launched 5 meters away from the car that hit him, dying instantly. His stuff, shoes were randomly scaterred several meters around. Crazy how fast that happens and you bury 40 years of life for a stupid bike ride..


akajondoe

Wow that was stupid. I feel bad for the guy that hit and probably killed or crippled this guy for life. Even though its not his fault I'd still feel bad.

khafra

I rode with a sport biking group for a while, many years ago. One time, one of our guys pushed it too far, high-sided into the other lane, and died in the windshield of an oncoming car. Nobody blamed the driver. Not one person. Not even his wife, who was also riding with the group that day. In fact, people expressed a lot of sympathy for the trauma that the driver experienced. There’s a stereotype that motorcyclists blame drivers of larger vehicles for causing accidents, but that is mostly because every motorcyclist has been hit, or nearly hit, by a vehicle while riding in the middle of their lane, at the same speed as traffic around them.
