MOTO DA STRATA (Motorcycle Crash Compliation) many crashes , extremly disturbing, warning!!

[Stuart G]

Please, give these crazy drivers room. Give.. them room if you can!!!!!!

PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THEM, EVERYWHERE !!!!!!! ..walking, driving car, driving bike, crossing street even with green light at correct corner.
.If you see them coming, get out of their way...they are out there, many drunk. It is that time of the year..Also,,,,a lot of the accidents seem to be at intersections and when the cycle drivers are making turns or cars are turning...another reason to watch out if you can.. If even one of these can be avoided, then it is worth watching out for.

In which case describing it as extremely disturbing would be an understatement.

2. Omg I cringed throughout....

4. So did I, but maybe, just maybe..some can be avoided.

If even one of these could be avoided, then it is worth watching out for. what is going on around us when we walk or drive a car, or whatever..I must add....Only some cyclists, or a few drive like this.. It is worth watching for them, no matter what.

6. Even if you're the most conscientious rider in history....

....you still run a much higher risk of serious injury or death vs. riding in an automobile. Those are bad enough. It's simply a matter of physics and human physiology. At highway speeds, 5,000 lbs with airbags, seat belts and crumple zones vs. 700 lbs and zero protection...except a helmet that makes nice pivot point for severe neck injuries.

Sorry. Pet peeve of mine. I've seen way too much gory mayhem over the years related to motorcycles.

7. I agree. and thank you for your very special view.

Very dangerous.

8. Twice in my life

I voluntarily boarded a motorcycle. In both instances (some years apart, I might add) I dismounted before I intended to. Your summation has GREAT merit as far as I'm concerned. I understand the appeal of motorized two-wheelers, but the risk is just too great. I know three folks who've spent their adult years, incapacitated from an incident on a motorcycle.

I have a motto: Two wheels - half a brain.

12. It proves to me how many need further education on the rules of the road, we've gone down

A couple of times but going slow, hit once at a stop sign when someone backed right into U.S., I jumped off bike,

3. That brings a few (painful) memories.

I was never involved in anything that severe. But I knew a few guys who were. Some didn't make it.

5. massive head tramas....just waiting to happen...

...that's what motorcycles are known as in most ERs. Not just in the US apparently.

10. I've been told that they are called living organ donors

The brain is gone but a lot of the rest of the tissue is salvable.

9. Well, motorcyclists have to obey the rules of the road, too

The majority of those accidents were the result of turns not being signaled, riding between lanes, ignoring the right of way, and just plain going faster than they should...

13. I noticed that too.

They could probably made a big dent in the number of accidents if they would just stop doing that shit. No, you're not special, and you're not indestructible.

14. If you ride a bike like you are driving a car you usually have no problems.

[uppityperson]

15. Indeed, follow the rules of the road and expect no car to ever see you

my accident was a car turning left in front of me, "didn't see you". I noticed them a bit away and slowed way down, knew they didn't see me so I just bounced off the side of their car.

[Marblehead]

11. this is why I don't ride anymore

[Gumboot]

16. Me too. I've seen too much carnage, now. Enough's enough.

All rookie car drivers should be forced to watch this video, to see how a moment's inattention can be fatal for other road users.

Plenty of idiotic bike riding there too, you gotta be super-careful on two wheels.

Damn, all those careless u-turns... *cringe*
