It is a very grim vid which I regret to admit I have seen before. It looks to all intents and purposes that the bike had been going at a fair rate and the car had made a turn across him from the give way area.

It was obviously one hell of an impact.

I am also in the camp of not completely seeing what value this kind of vid brings to any rider.

I see enough spills when out riding to not want to be "entertained" by videos.

if that video shows anything, its that fact that us bikers should all try know a bit about what to do if your on scene at an accident. any bit of first aid training goes a long way to help - it could be one of your mates you end up helping.

And you were just in your car, not on the bike, which was holding your shed more-or-less in place

I started watching it then realised what it was. Not nice. I can watch a lot of dodgy stuff but that turned my stomach. I accept the risks of riding a bike and occasionally riding up to (and occasionally beyond) my limits but seeing that makes you think about "What If". I understand why it's been posted but it's a dead guy on film at the end of the day.

If someone rides like a tw*t, this video isn't going to stop them...

What next... Saddam's hanging video as a warning to us all not to become dictators?

Although a lot of you may have seen this before, new members and riders to the forum (like myself) have not, I do feel this video helped wake me up a little bit, so can we give over with comments like:

"If someone rides like a tw*t, this video isn't going to stop them...

They dont help anyone, and well, saddams hanging video has nothing to do with riding bikes does it!
