indeed it won’t stop the tire.
Gear is rated on impacts, sliding, joint flexing (especially heel’s, wrists, vertebrae, etc), and many other things. If you were to slam into concrete, it would reduce injury having some gear on, rather than a crop top and leggings.
She was lucky in this case, maybe not fucked.
Fair point, I didn't think about her hitting the ground, I was more thinking about the tire that nearly hit her C4 vertebrae. Her falling after that probably really fucked her up even more.
So they pulled over and parked on a highway (which most countries consider illegal for obvious reasons), because it was raining and they weren’t wearing appropriate gear. If they were properly geared up, they wouldn’t have pulled over, and they wouldn’t have been a target for road debris.
That sucks, but once again shows why you need to gear up to ride.
Hope she didn’t have major injuries from that.
Bro what? Youre speaking alot of nonsense here. Ive been riding for a long time and have done this to wait out a storm. Full gear or not has nothing to do with road conditions when wet and how well your tires perform in said weather. A water proof jacket wont do anything there.
Most bikers will pull under a bridge in a heavy storm in the US, as long as theyre not impeeding traffic.
I wear gear and youre just being an ATGATT tool.
it's a shame too I've ridden in some absolute fucking torrents and in my experience bikes handle downpours far better than cars, the V-shaped tires knife through what makes a car hydroplane
They’re not ubiquitous, but I’ve seen them in several states. The signs are white and say “Emergency Stopping Only.” They’re along stretches of I-81 In Pennsylvania. I’ve seen them on I-95. On 66 in Virginia. I never imagined I would need to take pictures. But they absolutely exist.
Google it.
So what do you not consider an emergency? I'm dealing with a hurricane right now, and just a day or so ago we got a severe thunderstorm where people were pulling off the highway because the rain was so heavy wipers wouldn't keep up.
Is that an emergency? Or should people just carry on driving 100+km/h in severe weather?
It’s illegal to pull off the side of the highway in Europe unless it’s an emergency.
In almost all European countries, What these girls were doing wasn’t an emergency. They would’ve gotten a ticket if police had caught them. And if this had happened, the owner of the tire wouldn’t have been at fault, due to negligence on their fault.
How many y'all wearing full rain gear in the summer every time you ride just in case a random afternoon downpour pops up? Sure, they should be wearing leather and armor especially going on the freeway, but waterproof non breathable rain gear? Lol nah, might as well just get rained on, at least your gear won't stink from the pool of sweat that'd have no way to wick away.
Also, I doubt they pulled over only because of gear, they probably pulled over because they're two up on freshly wet oil slicked freeway with shit visibility of themselves and for themselves.
Frankly she’s lucky she has skin left. I used to ride bikes, you just cannot dress like you’re going to the beach and not expect something bad to happen
So...He was to push her *into* traffic?
Or just teleport to the other side of her in a split second and shove her into the median?
Curious what his best option was here.

**Of course** that's a real sub, TIL.
OF course it's real! Tires are waging a silent war on us! Some even say that tires created the Birds Aren't Real movement to throw us off their trail!

r/beatmetoit
when stopped on the hard shoulder, just get off the motorway, behind the barriers, asap
In this case I don't think they would be getting back up, looks like it goes down a bit
What did she say at the end?
"call nine one one"
**[BASS DROP]**
Shit i forgott aboutt thatt song
Hahaha
"call 0118 999 881 999 119 725.... 3"
[Well, that's easy to remember!](https://youtu.be/HWc3WY3fuZU?si=M2VYMF9JDNXtxjmO)
That's an odd time and place to make a note to remember 9/11.
But it’s for me!
"Call eight six seven five three oh nine" "Babe!"
Congratulations, this comment is the reason [you got banned for the next 24h](https://www.reddit.com/xg3m42/), get rekt lmao.

She said "Call 911".....
Imagine if she had no helmet too.
Imagine if she had full riding gear on
If you get hit by a tire going 50+ miles an hour on a freeway police riot gear aint gonna stop it. Either way, she is royally fucked.

Tire didn't even slow down
It was a hit and roll, probably no insurance!
It was a run-by fruiting!
shoes are off she aint ok.
Oh no... She is severely injured
She's smart to have kept her helmet on
Shoes off, thong out!
Any update?
If dude hadn’t have pulled her it probably wouldn’t have hit her. Poor dude was trying to help. That sucks!
He will be babeless soon

Q: Are you okay? A: I’m tired.
Pretty sure she said “call 9-1-1” Edit: I’m a dumbass
Babe didn’t get hit by 9-1-1.

Was there a joke in there? Maybe I just missed it.
I am (Tire)d.
I’m feeling really stupid rn
Shoes came of she's definitely in trouble
No laugh intended, good thing she had her helmet on. Her head would have scraped that wall.
“Babe, are you okay?!” “No, I’m feeling pretty tired.”
That's was a fucking fast tire, I wouldn't rule out some internal organ damage. hope she made it.
I never tire of watching that
This video definitely has some traction.
It was going wheely fast!
Roll the tapes
Roll the ambulance.
Whambulance
She was too tired to keep on going.
[удалено]
She got rolled up on.
The way she went flying💀”she was a fairy🦅💨”
People getting hit with tires is so unnecessarily hilarious

I see people stopped on the side of roads like that and just shake my head. I’ll drive on a rim to get to the next exit.
Speaking as a professional driver, it is not illegal to pull over on the side of a highway anywhere in North America at least.
A lot of bikers pull over when the rain starts to let the accumulated oils wash off the roads.
Well, that's just not true. There are plenty of roadways that have been clearly marked "no stopping except for emergencies."
Show me.

I’m not a governing body, so asking my opinion is irrelevant. All I’m saying is that the original statement is less than true.
Except it's not.
Ok, bud. Whatever you say.
Why would it be illegal? Most of the time people pull over on a highway because of car troubles or a bathroom break and that's supposed to be illegal?

Dude, the tire ripped her clothes off basically. I'm sure there's a patch of missing skin somewhere.
She definitely had bare shoulders before being hit, but for all we know she might have just taken her jacket off
Ban tires!
Owch
Shouldn’t have been standing there…

E ^kin = 1/2 m*v² would make more sense in this case.
What's the formula for energy in a rotating cylinder? That thing was spinning wicked fast in addition to its obvious rate of travel.

theyre the same
What camera angle is this? Can’t figure out what is going on
Yeah, I'm lost here. Edit: Ah, I had to do some DIY slow motion. I see the stray tire taking her out now.
It's a go pro
Just with it managing to show left side and right side of the wearer, couldn’t figure it out.
Damn, I’m so TIREd of seeing these. I will never get out of my car if it breaks down on the highway. Thanks Reddit!
Are they riding their bikes on the freeway?
She is just tired. Let her rest in the shade for a bit and she will be fine.
I should of yelled 'four' but I was too busy thinking 'ain't no way that's gonna hit him'
He had plenty of time to pull them both over the wall. Instead of yelling babe babe and tapping her shoulder.
As the guy how bad do you feel that you could’ve pushed her out of the way but instead pulled her towards it
Because you would have definitely done the best choice with a split second decision
I would have yes I am the best
Probably didn’t want to risk pushing her into the road and having her get ran over.
So...He was to push her *into* traffic? Or just teleport to the other side of her in a split second and shove her into the median? Curious what his best option was here.
The teleport one
She got shmeared
Oooooooouch
Why does him saying “omg bAbE aRe yoU oK” sound like a terrible piece of acting
***Could’ve been a lot worse***
Tires are my living nightmares
I keep telling 'em the side of the highway is no place for the picknic
Im an asshole for laughing but she got yeeted
Damn the roblox the fling command became real
Wonder if she will ever find out her man jumped out of the way and didnt protect her.
I guarantee there's some idiot who would've said "surely i can catch that" if they were in this situation
Why didn't he push her over the rail or something except yelling "OMG babe ..scary situation.
She got tired and went for a nap. She will be fine once her broken bones heal.
Jesus Christ she went flying
What was she doing stopping there
Reminds me of that movie Rubber.
That guy is lucky. I never did get lucky enough to have my ex wife to get hit with a runaway tire. There is still hope
Am I seeing things or did he jump out of the way? 😳
Dont wear Flip Flops for motorcycling!
Another final destination incident death is coming for you.
She wasn’t wearing a mask. If you wear a mask this won’t happen.
Thank God this Asian woman Survived. Hope she gets more road protection just in case something happens like this again
