I dont know if this video has been posted before, if so, then please delete this thread.

A chilling video to watch so dont watch and complain afterwards, but I reckon a good reminder to keep it real out there - for bikers and cagers alike.

Speed, lack of observation, maybe even lack of being visible and also a lot of stoopid mixed in the causes.

I agree.

Too much speed.
Not observing.
Riding like a twatwaffle.
Plain stupid.

In most of the cases.

A good reminder as to how quickly things can go pear shaped.

Lots of stoopid people on the roads

Oh no. Very true, but really not nice to see.

I believe this can also have a negative effect on your riding, as being overly cautios is also bad ?

First thing I did when I started to paraglide was to Google all the paragliding accident videos I could find. I watched and learned from others mistakes, made myself aware of what can happen and how to react/handle it. For me it's better to be informed than not.

Huh! Doesn't take big balls to ride without attgatt just a bad habit maybe. When I started riding , a dilapidated helmet was full attgatt.
Still ride like that today I cannot even stand to ride with gloves. I have since learned to ride with a cheap adventure riding jacket and pants. Proper riding boots are out for me as I just cannot imagine riding and I cannot feel my brake pedals etc.
I do believe in attgatt but just not for myself.

I'm strictly a ATGSOTTOSOTGMOTT person myself.

That's All The Gear Some Of The Time Otherwise Some Of The Gear Most Of The Time.

On Sunday I rode with just about all of the gear, on a midwinter's day nogal, and just about passed out from overheating. Could have caused a nasty accident.

But yeah, the vid is bloody horrifying.

Bliksem! Can't think the oke who klapped the truck close to the start walked away from that. Horrible.

Think I'll stick to off-road - much safer - where the only twatwaffle is yourself

ok, mental note made....not going riding with you

I wonder how many of those guys actually lived to see the next day.
Lots of stupid ppl out there. Both on bikes and in cages.

P.S. The crash at 03:08 shows exactly why riding in the Suicide Lane is retarded.

manta · « **Reply #17 on:** June 25, 2014, 10:07:06 am »

What I cannot understand is how bikers always want to overtake on the outside when it is obvious that cars are turning. I mean that is just plain stupid. Thankfully I don't see that much here in SA but watch accident vids and you will see it a lot.
