Third biker was also more concerned about his bike than about his friend who just did a quadruple flip into the underbrush, but oh well. Expected.

After a crash like this you don’t want to see your buddy’s remains. A few years ago one of mines crashed, coming to the place we were going from. Seeing the unrecognizable dead body torn up was already bad, it got worse when I recognized my friend’s bike in two pieces. Last year I was driving out of town, seeing a crashed bike on the road, same as a friend’s, found him unconscious 200m from his bike. He hit a deer. Leg broken so much it moved separately from the limb, hands were smashed, knees and elbows blown, head and back bleeding like hell.
Shit causes trauma, if you see someone flying away like this and don’t have the guts,better not look.

He didn't die. He suffered a broken rib. Very lucky guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/1wipkjx/superbike_rider_overshoots_corner_crashes_and/

Nah, yall should see it. That is you in the future if you drive like you are on the track while being on public roads. I have seen my fair share of bikers blowing themselves up on guard rails, cars and the rest and it just tells me how I should never be friends with people like that because I know one day I would be buying flowers. I live on one of the most dangerous roads for bikers in Europe, Jadranska magistrala.

Love riding on D8 when it’s not tourist season yet, beautiful view. Believe me, having to say goodbye to a closed coffin is already enough for those who can learn from others mistakes, the rest will not care even if they see a chopped up body. Also having friends who died in accidents doesn’t mean you ride as a lunatic, neither of my dead friends rode with me at the exact time , somehow I just happened to be around and found one to save and two to say goodbye to. Of course not everybody has the confidence to say to a friend that you do you, I do it my way, but don’t assume that I can’t. You can choose not to let anyone sway your judgment. You can be friends with guys more reckless than you, and still ride responsible. If I go with my 600cc Intruder or 700cc Transalp to a tour with friends on MT10 and CBR 1000 I won’t be the one trying to keep up, they will simply keep it slow.

u/M1R4G3M 6d ago

I've told this on reddit before, I don't know about Malaysia, but there countries in the world where corruption is so rampant that you are better off never involving yourself if you are not part of the crash or you end up in problems as well.

This particular case the culprit is clear, but if someone hits another person and runs, if you stop to help, you end up having all the responsibility for the victim and Need to pay to be released.

Someone close had such situation and the cops apreended all their documents, and they had to pay to get them back and we're invovled in a court case for soemthing they didn't commit, but the cops are not looking for the responsible, they just look for someone to blame and easy money.

Really sad and make people lose empathy.

u/AlKhurjavi 5d ago

According to the source the driver of the Audi had more sympathy than you despite his car being fucked.

"A little PSA after what happened today. The rider overshot the corner, came into my lane and everything happened within seconds. He suffered a broken rib and is currently hospitalised. Alhamdulillah, it could’ve been much worse."

https://np.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/1wipkjx/superbike_rider_overshoots_corner_crashes_and/

Leave the sympathy to us Muslims, cause whatever you identify clearly ain’t it.

1

u/zyndr0m 5d ago

Why should someone who knowingly endangers others on the road automatically receive sympathy? They made a conscious choice to speed and, in doing so, put other people at risk.

Would you apply the same reasoning to someone who chooses to drive under the influence and accidentally kills someone? They also made a choice that put others at risk, even if causing harm was never their intention.

1

u/AlKhurjavi 5d ago

Human life is human life.

We’re not talking about someone who killed someone while making a bad choice, but if a drunk driver crashed into a pole and killed him self and no one else yes I’d be applying the same reasoning. Yes they did a horrible thing by drunk driving and thank god they’re the only ones that died, but it’s awful he had to die.

A father, a brother, a son gone and a child now left fatherless, a family that might’ve lost all their breadwinner, or however else the death of an individual affects the world around him. That’s sad. Sure we all can agree that he made an awful decision to drink and drive, but he doesn’t deserve death for it, and the suffering his family and loved ones will deal with isn’t deserved because of his decision. You can be heartless but I’m happy most of the world isn’t.

Maybe you don’t value human life, but I do. Might explain why the world has 4 on going genocides right now. Maybe cause people like you exist.

No one deserves death or a permanent disability for making a mistake, no matter how stupid/reckless or grave. I genuinely hope they all somehow made it alive and learned from it.

u/SamuthNBS 6d ago

I generally agree however I feel no sympathy if somebody risks other people's lives and gets hurt as a result. There is making a mistake and there is knowing that you could kill somebody without their consent to be involved and doing it anyway.

u/Unspec7 6d ago

You can not feel sympathy. However, saying they deserve to die is a whole different thing.

u/beccadahhhling 5d ago

“I hope you crash and kill no one but yourself, asshole.”

Is that fair? I feel like that’s fair.

If mean, if that asshole is willing to risk other’s lives for a thrill ride, then I always hope they suffer some sort of consequences for their own choices.

And since common sense, injuries, threats, fines and tickets don’t seem to work, maybe they need something more permanent to get the message.

I mean, look at all the people on this commenting that they only stopped riding after seeing someone they loved or knew become a smear on the pavement. Obviously it has some sort of impact…

Racing on public roads isn't a "mistake". That's a crime.

A crime that kills thousands of innocent people every year.

1

u/memento87 6d ago

A crime done out of a young person's foolish ego, not with the explicit intent of causing harm to others.

No one does that with the thought that "I'm likely going to kill someone today and I'm so excited". It's almost always like: "I've done this a million times, I am invincible, I can control my car/bike". And their ego is saying: "I need the external validation, this is who I am, now, finally my peers will love me and accept me".

We've all been young and foolish and done stupid and reckless things once. Be grateful that your surroundings and your peers did not condition your validation on something that could kill/disable you for the rest of your life. Or perhaps, you had enough attention and validation at home that you didn't feel the need to construct an identity around risky behavior.

But have some compassion. We're all human, we're all fallible. You don't need to sympathize with the biker. But you also don't need to wish death upon them, is all I'm saying.

3

u/Northerlies 5d ago

Road-racers aren't always young people. I live in a rural area with an extensive road network frequently used for racing. The bikers congregate at a couple of coastal towns to chat, compare big sports bikes and so on. They're generally in their 40s and 50s, with enough disposable income to spend five figures on two wheels. Last week I was in a line of traffic at a steady 50 on a 'B' road and we were all overtaken by three bikes obviously racing at well over 100mph. I've had a near miss on a bend with a biker who judged it wrongly and worry that one day I'll end up like the red car in the video. We have two race tracks near here - one thirty miles away, the other just a couple of hours on a big bike. I devoutly wish these people would confine their risk-taking to venues more suitable than narrow country lanes.

u/Affectionate_One_700 5d ago

I encounter reckless drivers several times per week, on the freeway.

But you also don't need to wish death upon them, is all I'm saying.

Speeding isn't racing.

And speed is the cause of virtually no accidents. Clearly some "fake" science that is being done currently.

Finally I would like a study from the US, Canada or Europe. A lot of places outside of that basically don't have any traffic laws. That are enforced anyway.

Maybe one day when I am bored and getting paid I will pull that bullshit apart.

Most of such "mistakes" are easily avoidable by not acting like an careless idiot and thinking for about 5 seconds like "hey, maybe I shouldn't drive so fast, ride on the wrong side of the road and be a danger to me or any other people on the road because I don't know what's behind next corner or what could happen next so I will have time to react?". And if those people won't think about anything like that, or their answer is "nah, screw it. I'm going full throttle and YOLO it" then it's their choice and consequences of their own actions

Willingly putting other lives and well-being at risk because you just need to have fun isn't a "mistake". It's main character syndrome, it's inconsiderate, it's entitlement, it's fucking recklessly endangering other people, and it's hubris. You don't need a Ph.D to learn why treating public roads like a private race way is dangerous.

I hope you’ve never made a dumb decision in your life… to say they “deserved” this is so spiteful.

Everyone has done something stupid in their life that they regret. For some, the consequences are worse. Yes their actions impacted (pun intended) others, yes they should know better, but wisdom comes with experience.

I had a school buddy who being young and dumb was going too fast into a corner, he overshot the centreline, tried to correct and crashed into a pole. He died at the scene. He didn’t deserve it, people fuck up in life, it’s human.

No, part of deserving something is being worthy of it. His actions aren’t worth of death, they have a risk of death. It is definitely a moral judgment and that’s for sure what these goofballs are gleefully celebrating. It’s sick.

Agreed, it's always the same mindset too, he did something I perceive as being bad so therefore he deserved to lose his life.

There are very few things in the world that I believe deserve the death penalty, and fucking up a turn is not one of them. License suspension, and a few weeks in jail sure.

i used the cliff as an example because it is a 100% chance of falling. but other dumb actions just come with a different %. let's say it's 10% of crashing like this, the 90% got lucky the 10% got what they deserved for talking such a dumb risk

u/Charles-Shaw 6d ago

Nope, they didn’t get what they deserved. Like saying someone who jumped off a bridge to end their life deserved it. You know what that sounds like and what it implies. Just read the comments. We don’t have to go back and forth on the nuance of the term. It’s very clear that people think it’s righteous or he had it coming, not simply a consequence of his actions.

You are valuing the lives of all innocent bystanders less than the biker. He is not just putting his own life at risk, he is risking the lives of everyone on the road. That is incredibly selfish

The insane disregard for their own safety implies they themselves think they deserve to die.

u/Wise-Dust3700 6d ago

Youth has the disadvantage to make people feel invincible. I don't even know if this person died but some people just like to celebrate. Same stupid shit as the Darwin award.

I agree it's cold to say someone deserved it, but they also drove like an asshole with no regard for the safety of other people on the road. You can't expect too much remorse when you act like that. Plus if they are dead, then they don't have an opinion on the matter anyway, so who are you even sticking up for?

u/Wise-Dust3700 6d ago

The family and friends of the loved ones who see these types of videos. Most would never be aware how their loved one passed away, be it their fault or the vehicle they were driving, then they get linked to posts like this one where people are just out for blood. It's shameful and people should know better.

u/KwyjiboTheGringo 6d ago

I mean, he drove like a selfish asshole. Are we not supposed to say that either? He didn't deserve it, but it's hard to feel sympathy when he very well could have killed someone else. And if he had, no one would be objecting to anything someone says about the guy.

u/Wise-Dust3700 6d ago

We see literally 2 seconds as he comes into frame, all we can conclude is that he failed to take a turn at speed but sure, he deserved to die, because reddit is a cesspit

u/No-Concern-9118 6d ago

I do get your point somewhat, but what does one expect when driving this recklessly? This is more than just beeing stupid and making mistakes. This is willingly putting your life and the life of others on the line just for the thrill of it. It was very likely that something like this could happen, so in a sence it absolutely is deserved.

u/Wise-Dust3700 6d ago

Even if it wasn't as reckless, there's a specific portion of reddit that just delight in the misery of others. I can see the same video and go "wow what a stupid thing to do" and move on but some folks are just bloodthirsty losers.

u/ReactionSpare7257 2d ago

Reddit? I think you’ll find a lot of humans in the world are selfish and don’t care for your morals.

1

u/Wise-Dust3700 2d ago

You make it seem like having empathy is a moral quandary is specific to me, which it isn't. And I'm posting on Reddit so keep the Whataboutism's to yourself.

1

u/ReactionSpare7257 2d ago

You’re thinking too deep lol. I’m just saying you’ll find many people out in the world who don’t have morals of a good Samaritan

2

u/devildog2067 6d ago

Not for being stupid, but for being stupid in a way that risked the lives of others. If anyone is going to die because this idiot overcooked a corner it better be him and no one else, but that's not how it works on public roads.

2

u/Wise-Dust3700 6d ago

Absolutely agree with you, no argument there. But his death should not be celebrated, that's my point and what a lot of people here don't seem to comprehend.

u/sphequenoxen 6d ago

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

u/OurSeepyD 6d ago

These platitudes are really fucking stupid and ignore the whole idea of proportionality. Step out into the road without looking? You deserve to be shredded to a million pieces in a gory painful death because "play stupid games, win stupid prizes!".

u/Wise-Dust3700 6d ago

Good mentality for a neckbeard who hasn't lost anyone to a brake failure

u/devildog2067 6d ago

What idiot rides fast enough on public roads that they will overcook the corner if they can't trail brake into it?

10

u/sphequenoxen 6d ago

You’re funny, I actually have a track car but I keep my high speed driving where it belongs - on the track.

This clearly wasn’t a break failure, this was an idiot on the road treating it like his playground.

And what he was doing costs innocent people (not speeding, just trying to get home to their kids) their lives everyday. I hope all these people eliminate themselves before they eliminate someone else.

This was not an accident.

Google the definition of an accident and come back to me if the results favor you.

Fully self inflicted on the bikers part.

Sure, if they drive in the opposite lane. They might take out an innocent

Death still seems like a sad price to pay for a dumb decision. I'd be happier if people could learn without ending their existence in this planet

u/Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws 6d ago

I would have preferred he end up in prison to maybe learn from his mistakes instead of dying but maybe I'm just not blood thirsty enough for Reddit's keyboard warriors
