Live to Ride - Ride to Die

[edge]

My brother passed this site on to me and I do not remember if it has been posted here already but it is worth the visit.

 

Although a bit of a graphic reality check of what lies out there there is something to be learned here. Having been downed by a SUV a couple of years ago, I get it, and remember everyday

I love the way that the last thing on the page is "Become an Organ donar today"

Check out the stats. showing impact areas on helmets.

 

44.5% are in the face shield and jaw area.

 

Love my full face helmet even more now!

My vanpool went by this incident shortly after it happened. Basically, the local (and very unsympathetic to motorcyclists) court said the fault was the motorcyclists.

it's best to be reminded of these things and be constantly aware and alert.

Gosh, pretty much ruined my evening.

I've seen this site before, kind of pisses me off actually. It does not clarify [and I realise it might be tough] the incidents of rider irrisponsibility, like the Castrol Honda RC51 piling into the side of the car at over 200 kms/hr. Charles Darwin has a hand in those incidents, which I feel are fully 70% of those pictures.

Ciao, Steve
