WATCH: Horrific crash as motorcyclist is hit by car driving on wrong side of the road

Holy shit, the rider lived?!!

It didn't look like the car driver even tried to stay in his own lane.

2 wheels are for children

Yeah terrible driving. I'd hunt the fucker down if I was the bike rider

Sad that shit like that happens here once a week. 52 motorcycle deaths here every year. One a week. The only reason he is alive is he suited up for his ride properly.

I know, right? Those inflatable motorcycle suits must fuckin work if it saved his life!

Anyone know pricing and research on those motorcycle 'airbag' suits?

Was this setup by the people that make the airbag suit? If not, why so many camera angles on this scene?

Always spoiling our fantasies

Didn't look like an inflatable suit to me...

like a bug on the windshield.

Yea the decent ones start about $3500 hell you can buy a motorcycle for that much. But the suits are reusable, and definitely save lives!

Yea they don't have crash test dummies so they selected an exceptionally stupid participant to try and kill himself to prove their point.

OK professor - why are there three cameras on this scene shot perfectly then?

Shortest straw - rides point.

I agree fake ass shit!

I travel with my cell phone camera in my Truck windshield. My wifes Acura has Cameras all the way around on each side that record any accident in the car from every angle. In all of your newer high end cars this is part of the safety package that protects insurance companies from liars.
And on any one of the four or five motorcycles I drive or race, I have my go Pro's facing forward and back wards, for a better view of some of the riding I do.
Welcome to 2020 Einstein!

Two cameras on the lead vehicle, one dash one rear. The following car had a dashcam too. Three cameras.

Watched a crash as a kid...Guy pulled in front of a bike doing sixty.
Threw the rider into the light pole.
the guy was ok until he realized it was a girl.

She be dead.

Fuck!!!

The guy that taught me everything I know about my career field, knows that I race and we both are avid motorcycle enthusiast. He called me up and tells me his 21 year old nephew who has a wife and kid had been working for a week on getting an old Honda 1000 sport bike running.
I told him that he of all people should know better, and take the keys from him.
A bike that does nearly 200 miles an hour is not a first time riders motorcycle, to easy to get in over your head fast, not having enough seat time to judge even distance much less speed.
He called me a month later only to tell me that something catastrophic had taken place. My stomach just sank!
He had got the thing running, threw a helmet and some gloves on and took it on a maiden voyage. He nearly died.
Will live the rest of his life on a bag. He lost both legs and one arm and is unbelievably still alive!
Hit a telephone pole and a road sign that sliced and diced him. If he had been wearing a leather suit the chance of him retaining those limbs would have gone up significantly. He is permanently on two wheels of a safer kind now.

In a city of 2.5 million, I rarely even see a motorcyclist in Las Vegas proper, except on Sundays in rural areas..

We see these stories daily on the news though, and I have driven past dozens of fatal motorcycle wrecks in recent years..

here's another yesterday ..

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- A woman was killed in a motorcycle versus vehicle collision near Decatur Boulevard and Diablo Drive Thursday morning.

the Mazda failed to yield right-of-way at the stop sign, resulting in the crash. The Harley rider died at the scene, police said.

The Clark County Coroner's Office identified the rider as 20-year-old Nicole Marie Corbeil

Probably texting on marijuana.

Oh, well that's good. The suits are reusable.

So after your broken back and sternum and wrist heals up, you can get right back out there, on the road.

At least the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet. A buddy died after a car made a left turn in front of his Harley. He had no time to react. It was not his fault, a helmet probably would have saved his life.

They weren't designed for vehicle impacts. They were designed for motorcycle crashes on a race track, when you high side @ 150mph. Takes a lot of the impact and disperses the energy.
Impacting a stationary object at speeds over a 100 miles an hour easily removes unprotected body parts.
Having any kind of suit on is really meant to protect you from surface abrasions and helps to prevent broken bones tearing through the skin and keeping your body parts connected and inside of a much tougher leather exterior. Skin can be like a wet paper napkin under extreme conditions. Ive been put back together more than a few times, and was grateful to be able to afford leathers and a quality helmet.
No better teacher than experiencing the inevitable thing about 2 wheel riders. Two kinds of riders those that have been down and those who are going to go down. The best in the world crash regularly.

Lucky rider was in full endo before impact.....launched him cleanly off bike.

harsh. Would hate to have to rewatch that after living through it.

That reminded me of the movie road warrior

Hope he recovers/recovered quickly. I respect people's right to ride and know many who love it. For me, the charm ended after the third or fourth death of someone I knew. None were my close buddies, but all were responsible bikers. Two were closed-casket services.

Looks like snake pass, which is literally 10 minutes away from where i live.

I stopped motorcycling on public roads and sold my road bikes because idiots in cars are in charge of your life, i just dirtbike now. I've had so many people on phones pull out at junctions, not watch what they are doing and phone zombies just step out into the road i gave up, im either going to kill somebody through no fault of my own or somebody is going to kill me.

When people are in 2 ton vehicles traveling at 50mph not paying attenion and you are coming the opposite way at 50mph its just luck if you dont become a paraplegic if they fuck up, its not that the speed is dangerous, its a combination of other people not having due care and attenion and a bag of meat sat on an engine traveling at speeds >30mph

Cant wait till somebody puts out an electric dirtbike that does 75mph and 100-250 miles range and weighs 120lbs, im happy to ride on the roads at 30mph max and be an adrenaline junkie off road, at least if i fuck up its my own damned fault.

It sounds crazy but id rather ride on the road on a lightweight bike at 30mph with no helmet, or an open helmet than ride on a sports bike with full gear at 50-60mph, why? because 95/100 its safer to be aware of everything going on around you, and be hyper aware and avoid other peoples idiocy than wear the protective gear and not have as much situational awareness as possible.
