SEE THE PICTURES ATTACHED.

The cops were traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near
Tulsa, Oklahoma. They found this on the road




Another patrol car stopped a truck some miles
down the highway and were struck with the following image.


The Truck Driver said he thought he felt the impact, but it took him almost 4 miles
down the road before he thought he'd better pull over and check out his rig.


Notice the driver has no shoes on from the impact or from being drug all that distance.




Side view of Motorcycle Driver caught up in the trailer of the Semi.


Witnesses and State Police say the Motorcyclist was traveling at 120 mph when he ran into

the back of the moving semi-truck.

It pays to have a good quality helmet when riding a motorcycle, Now for the rest of the story!

THIS GUY SURVIVED.

These pictures have been around the net for years and years.

Yes, the driver did Die. Died instantly from a broken neck caused by the impact.

I've probably heard 2 dozen stories about what actually happened in this wreck. Truth is, why would people (Troopers, EMT's, Etc) be standing there taking all these pictures if that guy was Alive. If that guy was still alive, wouldn't the EMT's from that ambulance sitting there be working on him the second they parked their Ambulance right there 5 feet from him? These are accident/crime scene photos taken after it was determined he was dead. (no gurney sitting there, no EMT bags, no bandages laying anywhere, NO EMTs helping him period, etc)

Now, if this was me and I survived and then learned that all the emergency responders stood around and took pictures like this before they helped me, there'd be HELL to pay. Know what I mean.

Take a closer look at these pics, where are the emt's? Where is the litter from working on this guy? He smacked the butt end of a semi and is DOA plain and simple. Just goes to show you the need for proper foot wear and helmet. That way once they remove the helmet they don't have to wonder what you looked like. To me the big question is, was the truck drivers log book in order or did he get blamed for this idiots death?

There are old bike riders and there are bold bike riders. But there aren't any old, bold bike riders...

Yep, this guy deserves a Darwin Award.

One reason I have this attitude is I live near I-20 west of Atlanta. For a while these crotch rockets were pulling wheelies at 100 in the passing lane and very early in the mornings would open them up headed for Alabama. Now we don't see to many of them....maybe followed in this guys footsteps.

Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street.

Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning.

Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck.

"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."

Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.

Shoot, it's a Daily, Weekly, Monthly occurence here on the freeways of DFW.

Just had one happen here last Friday.

Motorist Hurt Protecting Crashed Biker

Not only was the idiot biker hurt, but a good samaritan who stopped to help him suffered a broken leg due to other cars running into his car while it was on the side of the road.

Or what about these 2 kids that were killed when they attempted to take a freeway overpass exit ramp at too high a speed and ended up falling 35 feet to their deaths:

Friends killed in Irving motorcycle wreck | Texas Cable News | TXCN.com | News for Texas | Local News: TV

One of them had just bought his high powered "crotch rocket" 4 days before the wreck.

One of the teens fathers had the balls to say this:

Robbie Wright, Robert Wright's father, described his son as an experienced and safe motorcyclist.

"They were just having fun," he said. "They weren't doing the crazy bike crap."

The truth came to light when witnesses told Police that these 2 were in a "large" group of bike riders traveling down the freeway that night at a high rate of speed, doing wheelies, playing tag, and so on. One lady told police that seconds before this wreck happened, 2 bikers passed her going in excess of 130-140-150 MPH before the other 15-20 bikers passed her doing maybe 100+ MPH. I can't remember how she put it, but said something like "it felt like a sonic boom went by her car and didn't realize it was a motorcycle, or motorcycles, until the other 15-20 motorcycles went flying past her car."

And get this, when these 2 bikers went over the overpass, their motorcycles stayed up on the overpass. When their friends came upon their wreck they stopped. When they couldn't find their friends, they just pushed their motorcycles up against the railing and left. They didn't call 911, they didn't look for their friends, they didn't try to call their homes, their parents to check on them, they just assumed that their friends had "walked" home after the wreck. (these bikes were pretty tore up) It was another motorist who saw the bikes sitting there who called the police. It was then the Police who found the bodies laying on the ground 35 feet down. Sad, Huh.....

Running these freeways as an "Independent Contractor" for 3PL companies over the years I have also seen those morons on the roads too. I've had the fart scared out of me more than once when I was just tooling down the freeway minding my own business when 4-5-6 crotch rockets go screaming by me at 100++ MPH. Pysses ya off sometimes, know what I mean.

You mean don't ride motorcycles at high speeds with no idea of what you are doing?

Even though this specific incident is tragic on several levels, it seems that road has had a number of motorcycle fatalities by people who were not too bright.

But as I came to realize bikes Brisco is right about this;

"I've had the fart scared out of me more than once when I was just tooling down the freeway minding my own business when 4-5-6 crotch rockets go screaming by me at 100++ MPH."

The moral of the story? Don't ride a motorcycle - it's stupid. (Okay let the hating begin.) :confused:

I have never understood why any person with a family would choose to ride a motorcycle on the highway. That little thrill is greatly outweighed by considerable risk of becoming paralyzed or dead on impact. The Flying Wallendas have a better safety record. If I were an underwriter for life insurance, no one who rides motorcycles could afford the rates.

I came upon a very similar accident when I was living in England. A biker decided to run into the back of a flatbed. The truck never knew the guy hit him. The cops had to chase the truck for several miles to retrieve the biker's head.

Aristotle, I can't understand how people claim that they have a right to go without a helmet while we have to wear seatbelts.

Well, many states give motorcyclists the legal leeway to ride without a helmet. The crux of the matter is choice and responsibility. Riding a motorcycle is a choice, not a necessity. Riding a motorcycle is risk-taking as a form of recreation. In other words, it is recreational risk-taking. I don't have a problem with that until these risktakers transfer their problems onto the backs of society at large.

My wife has a nephew who was injured 20 years ago. He is quadriplegic and totally dependent on others who must attend to him 24 hours a day. We, the taxpayers, have spent well over $50,000 each year to support my wife's nephew. His spinal cord injury is almost exactly that of the late Christopher Reeve(Superman). In addition to the exorbitant medical cost picked up by the US Treasury, his immediate family memebers have suffered in ways that cannot be quantified. They have given up any semblance of careers or normalcy to provide around-the-clock care themselves.

When thrillseekers pursue risk as recreation, society should not be expected to pick up the tab. Why should we be the guarantors of this foolishness?
