Up and over

[1olbull]

My favorite part is that, post crash, the first thing he's thinking about is the bike, making a b-line to shut it off right after getting up.

If he was more attentive, doesn't it appear he could have slowed down more or swerved to either side?

The rider was going around a truck backing into a driveway and had his head up ass carrying that much speed all the way to impact and NOT slowing as he rounded the truck. Note the following riders were going much slower.
The cage was also making an improper right turn into the oncoming lane. It was likely turning left then changed it's mind.
Motor rider was proximate cause and turning cage contributory.
JMHO

That's just a whole lot of inexperience and too much speed.
He could have ridden on the wrong side of the road to avoid the collision... I'm thinking this or its a "put on" stunt.

im with ya Mittzy....put on..if the ***er had the wherewithall to do a summersalt over the car,surley he could have found the brakes and made evasive manuvers to avoid it

Not a bad suggestion and would explain why the rider did not see and slow for the car. Could be a fake . . .

I wonder if the rider always walk like that or only when he has a pair of jeans full of s***t ,note no skid marks on the road anyway!,classic somersault with a half pike twist ,if it's real I think some kind of race was taking place

I have seen a number of REAL crashes on camera video that were very similar.
How would they stage the backing truck and why the car out in the intersection making an improper turn into the oncoming lane?
A possible fake stunt - but doubtful in my mind.

I tend to agree if it was staged they would probably had the bike on fire ,also as you say the sequence of events was very real and typical of a car /bike accident , I have seen guys jump up like that after a spill purely on adrenalin then collapse soon after in shock and because of their injuries .

Right thing ?? he overtook a car which was approaching an intersection .. said car blocked vision of the turning vehicle , the one the bike hit .. if that's right I'd hate to see wrong !!!

I meant right as in not tossing the bike down thinking that helps, which some riders do. Not right overall, obviously, or he wouldn't have crashed... yeah I was very unclear, sorry bout that.

Yep stay on the anchors and wash off as much speed as you can ,I know for a fact there are no brakes on the side of a bike .I might practise my somersault technique though ,or better still slow down at intersections ,I have never laid a bike down intentionally in 48 years of riding ,just rode em to a standstill.

Not sure where you see the car making an improper turn. Looks to me like it was moving to the correct side of the road ie the left lane (it's not in America obviously). Only thing the driver did wrong was stop dead in front of the bike - and most likely shouldn't have pulled out in the first place although he couldn't have seen the speeding rider. Other bikes/car coming had plenty of time to stop. Can't say that it looks the slightest bit fake to me.
