Just what i want, one or more people grabbing me and lifting me up after hitting the deck so hard, and losing my helmet so easily.
So, just to clearify, DON'T move a person that is down, especially if they aren't moving like that guy.
Oh, and you can't fix Stupid. :o
Ride safe all, and ATGATT please.

Idiots in the second vid could easily have killed or paralyzed him by turning him over. What's dumber than an idiot? Damn, we need some new terminology.

Unfortunately, "Idiots" are at the bottom of the barrel. Just above idiot is an "Imbecile". The next rung up is "Moron". It's quite possible a "Cretin" is lower than an idiot, though. We probably would need to flesh that out a bit, of course.

Given that Binet was French he probably ran out of friends before cretin came up.

Useless people who stand around screaming when something bad happens is my all time Pet Peeve. You can be useless and stand around, just shut up!

His buddy set his beer down on what was left of the truck's bumper.

I second that statement. :)

Post by: Rhino on August 20, 2011, 07:49:28 PM: I wonder why the helmet came off. Not wearing the chin strap I guess. But then why bother putting the thing on in the first place?
Title: Re: A little showing off can end badly
Post by: JetJock on August 21, 2011, 06:59:26 PM: Because his numbnuts buddy was holding the beer, so nobody else to hold the helmet.
