Really bad accident

If it was one of mine, I would want others to be able to see it and let it hopefully act as a deterrent and a warning of complacency.


For me personally it stops me becoming too cocky as I hope it does to some others in here who get a bit cocky about the speeds they do.


Accidents don't always happen to some one else, sometimes they happen to you. A few members are lucky to be alive today after accidents and have posted their experiences.

This wasn't aimed at experienced riders mate, to be honest I did think about posting this for a long time but seeing as we now have a lot of new bikers as members I thought it might be worth it to let them see the reality of a very bad accident.

There are others I could have posted but this one does get the message across without being gory (as are some that I have seen). I must admit that in posting it, I didn't take into consideration the experiences and feelings of other members who might have been in a similar situation, simply because there wasn't any posts on the forum that I knew about at the time.

Since then some members have posted their own experiences that in some ways were possibly worse than this video so I apologise sincerely for that and if those people wish me to remove the thread then just PM me and I will take it down immediately.

Just as a side issue I have come across this video on a number of sites and some say the guy died while others say he was badly injured so I don't really know the true story about it. The aftermath unfortunately does look more like the first scenario to me though
