Re: Biker Hits Truck & Loses Leg In Brazil

Looks like his leg is still there, just broke as shit and curled up under his body. Compound fracture probably, but not completely 'lost'. His arm looks more fucked than his leg!
Look again bro...the leg is completely gone below the knee At

Re: Biker Hits Truck & Loses Leg In Brazil

Shock/adrenalin is an amazing anesthetic huh, don't think he even realised his leg was gone.
When you are in shock and pain overload. The pituitary gland releases masses of Endorphins to try to calm you and reduce blood preassure. Stopping forceful bleeding. The fact that you are smoshed is not in your head at the time because your brain has a failsafe of denial when massive trauma is endured. Again to protect the living body. It's acually quite amazing how far a human body can endure trauma and survive.

Re: Biker Hits Truck & Loses Leg In Brazil

Notice his head just before the crash. He was looking back at the "chase car". He wasn't looking forward and was completely out of his lane.

I'm thinking this was something like... a guy gets a new bike and says "Hey follow me and video me as I ride around on my new bike!" He looks back at the camera to impress his friends or whatever, looses his line on the road, and gets target fixation and is unable to swerve in time.

Looks like his leg is still there, just broke as shit and curled up under his body. Compound fracture probably, but not completely 'lost'. His arm looks more fucked than his leg!

But damn. Every time I see a motorcycle crash, it makes me absolutely fear ever wanting to ride my bikes again. It's just not worth the risk anymore. Just my own personal opinion.

I don't want to end up like that guy srsly.
He was changing lanes. That appears to be why he looked over his shoulder. He even had his signal on.

I'm not so sure. Look at the very beginning. He's goofing around. He's got his feet tucked up behind him on the pillion. He was either showing off or is just really stupid.

I stand corrected. I didn't see the blinker until you mentioned it. Still wondering why he had his feet up on the rear seat. Maybe just stretching and resting from a long stretch in the seat perhaps? And then he signalled and looked, saw the car and had to delay the lane change. And he just mis-interpreted the curve in the road by a hair.

If anything, it just shows how a split-second loss of attention on a motorcycle can ruin your day.
