This is why you should wear leathers or anything, graphic.

For clarity, ALL of this forum is U rated

What amazes me more than anything is how everyone is standing well clear and not helping the poor bugger, but they have time to film it!! Jesus folks are callous.

+1 if its real how can you stand and film while some one is that hurt

I'm no prude, but I just can't see what value posting a vid like that is supposed to add to anyone's life.

I'm not one for holier than thou type posts either, but if I want to see stuff like that, SV650 forum is not the place I'd be looking.

There's no educational value in it either, as there was with the 'always wear yer feckin' leathers' thread.

Oh well...

I tell you what angers me, w@nkers that stand by and take camera footage of things and people when they should be helping. Don't care if this is fake or not, or if there was nothing that could be done for the guy, there are instances like this and it really makes me fncking angry.

What would you do? Recovery position?

As well as a couple of you, I hate seeing this stuff. But I feel more strongly that it's sheltering people from realities, like this, which make people think they're invincible. I doubt if the dude in the vid had seen such a gruesome clip before he set out, he would have dressed so comfortably (regardless of whether it's a puncture wound or not).

These things happen, anybody on here can be exposed to things like this, why avoid it and pretend they don't! (And besides, you did get plenty of warning!)

tbh i would remove this.

I wouldn't stand there filming

There is of course the report button.

I'm surprised its stayed on so long TBH.
As Nobby said there is more education in the 'Wear yer ferkin leathers thread' in the photo section, than this.

I saw approximately 3 seconds of the video, and felt like hurling my breakfast at the screen. I don't have a weak stomach, and have seen some of the best scars and injuries in my own home.

I know Vox adjusted the phrase for caution, but I really don't even think that was enough warning.

Good point, I wouldn't film it either. But for some cultures, horrible stuff happens like this every single day.

If I saw two people fighting, I would be worried, I wouldn't think to film it. But a simple 'tube search shows that many people are so comfortable around people fighting that they film it. They're so used to it. Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if the bystanders are so used to seeing stuff like this, unlike us, that whilst we gasp, they film. I've seen CCTV videos of a child in China getting hit by a car on a market street. The car drives off, running the child over in the process. The child's wriggling in pain, struggling to breath, bleeding a lot from their severed legs. And people walk by, as if it was a normal market street. One guy steps over the body, without even stopping. Another car drives over the kid as if it were a speed bump. Until much later, a woman picks up the half-body and walks off. Some places in China also flay animals alive before beating them to death on market streets because they believe it makes the meat taste better. So again, I think WTF MAN, but they're so accustomed to it, filming is no big deal.

Just to reiterate, I wouldn't film this OP guy either, but I can see why people living there, might. And it's been a good reminder to me to keep safe.

Aye good point Allan, its an odd world. Ride safe guys.
