Guy woulda been dead if he wasn't wearing that helmet, look at the hit the back of his head takes against the rail when he first goes down.

So many things wrong about this. Riding beyond the capability of the bike is first and foremost but putting your foot down on pavement while wearing Croc's has got to be a close second. I hate to watch stuff like this but at the same time I try to learn from it.

I think that I see the problem. He had the knee pad on the wrong knee.

Where is all this footage taken, why would someone sit there and video every bike coming down the road, from 3 angles?

This retard hits the ground hard enough to split his helmet.  Why do I call him a retard? Watch the video and tell me what you think about his rear tire :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

Low budget slick. :( So, people have the time to sit all day and tape riders coming by and crashing? To what end, getting posted on utube? Does he get money from people that want to buy his video of their crash? Why buy when you can just save it off utube?

There you go, I'll bet he has all the major auto/motorcycle insurance companies on speed dial...   ;)
