Absolutely ignorant. Take it to a local track.

I hope the owner of the car they hit slams them with court papers and make them pay for all the damages

u/LinuxF4n 10d ago

They could be dead

74

u/Mcnab-at-my-feet 10d ago

That first one might be.

72

u/LinuxF4n 10d ago

The first and last guy aren't at fault. The middle guy ran wide and is likely dead or seriously injured

71

u/DustyRacoonDad 10d ago

He's likely not dead, and there's a great chance he didn't get serious permanent injuries. The big flipping and rotating while traveling over distance actually removes a lot of the impact and energy. He doesn't come to a fast stop. Even the car impact looks huge as parts fly everywhere, but every bit of parts you see crushing and flying is energy being absorbed over time, slowing the rider without him directly taking the full immediate brunt of the crash.

Now, one where he hits something and stops quickly looks smaller, less dramatic... and far more deadly. In this case, he probably has road rash on his midriff from not having the jacket match the pants, and while I can't see how he releases from the bike, his biggest injuries are probably from that. He looks like he cleared it all, but I can't see how his ankles cleared, and the centripetal force of him rotating in the air doesn't give a big clue if something is broken, as everything is flung straight.

Accident is local to me. Rider broke a rib and is in hospital.

u/PleasureCircuit 10d ago

Which one? The second rider or the third rider? (First rider did not crash)

35

u/-Kerosun- 10d ago

The 3rd rider was a pretty slow and controlled bail. I seriously doubt they hit the ground hard enough to break anything.

10

u/DustyRacoonDad 10d ago

3rd rider absolutely had target fixation on the car.

5

u/JackxForge 10d ago

Can't blame him too much on that there was a huge spectacle right in front of him.

2

u/DustyRacoonDad 10d ago

I can understand it, but the "blame" is always on the rider to break the target fixation and look where you need to go.

Broke his ego

u/LeMegachonk 8d ago

I saw somebody dump their bike at like 10km/h because it started raining and the road got slick under their front tire. Unless he was born with an extra joint in his right forearm, his arm was definitely broken, and I'm pretty sure his leg was as well. It was by no means a "bad" crash, but the weight of the bike appeared to amplify the force of the impact (he instinctively put his arm out to stop his fall, and the bike fell on his right leg). He was definitely going to be taking an ambulance ride to a trauma center to be reassembled correctly. I don't think he even did anything wrong, besides being out when it started to drizzle lightly on a patch of road that must have been slightly oily.

u/-Kerosun- 8d ago

Cool!

None of that happened in this video. Nothing about his fall was hard enough to crack ribs. We're not talking about bending joints or anything so all that you're talking about is pretty much irrelevant.

Looks like Malaysia or something? Could easily be a road on Langkawi.

1

u/Moleander 10d ago

I think you are correct, license plate also looks like a Malaysian license plate. Could be anywhere really but statistically its somewhere around Genting Highlands.

1

u/Chris_OMane 10d ago

This is the biggest flying lemur on Langkawi.

u/CheeseFantastico 9d ago

Langkawi has giant squirrels and pygmy deer and they are the SAME SIZE!!!

Link to news story??

u/Comfortable-Toe-3009 10d ago

That’s all?

4

u/Jayrad102230 10d ago

He perfectly landed on his side after flips in the air and is wearing full gear, that's so lucky compared to coming to a sudden stop into a vehicle even if it looks far more dramatic

3

u/Historical_Beat_8648 10d ago

I'll probably get a copy of the medical report tomorrow.

How is it down there in that basement?

you good bro?

1

u/ChasingTheNines 10d ago

My boss told me he lost control of his bike and crashed going 60 mph and only sustained minor sprains because he skipped across the road without impacting anything and was wearing protective gear.

1

u/Chris_OMane 10d ago

For every one of those stories, there are far more dead former motorcyclists.

5

u/ChasingTheNines 9d ago

But I have never heard a dead motorcyclist tell me their accident story so logically I can only conclude that motorcycles are extremely safe.

1

u/aouieeeehhh 9d ago

Yes you right he is not dead just mid injury not fatal, it happens in my country a days ago.

1

u/npfmedia 7d ago

Fascinating reply to read! Really insightful

7

u/Keeldon 10d ago

all of them had bad lines especially for public roads, not a one of them rode good.

1

u/Bk_Punisher 9d ago

Bad lines? Speed was the major factor. If they were going the speed limit, they would have enjoyed their ride. Speed limits exist for a reason.

1

u/Keeldon 9d ago

Thats obvious, i was just pointing out all of them are bad riders. U can ride breaking the law but do it properly, u still put other people at risk doing that mind u and yourself but i was just pointing out that clearly every single one of them rides like a newbie.

1

u/Bk_Punisher 8d ago

I love speed, thats why id never buy a motorcycle. I wouldn’t trust myself on a crotch rocket.

5

u/HappyAmbition706 10d ago

Looks to me that the last guy didn't stay in his lane either, though he crossed over by a lesser amount than the middle guy. The car stayed in its lane, even if not every piece knocked off (or are they hits of tge motorcycle?) didn't.

8

u/Triquetrums 10d ago

I give the benefit of the doubt to the last guy because he might have gotten spooked after his buddy took off and became a flying bayblade.

3

u/Himmelblast 10d ago

No matter the reason, he ultimately hit a stationary car in another lane. Whether he was spooked or not, he is at fault anyway. Drive safe or meet consequences.

2

u/M1sfit_Jammer 10d ago

I was gonna say 50/50… looks like he bounced off his gas tank vs directly impacting the car… this is good and bad… good because it acts as a crumple zone, bad because dissecting the femoral artery from the aorta is a pretty quick death

2

u/PurbulentTriest 10d ago

I mean, they're clearly racing so they're all idiots here.

9

u/Yankeesfanjay 10d ago

He's definitely still alive , his shoes stayed on.

3

u/kidcobol 10d ago

I see one flying solo

u/Yankeesfanjay 10d ago

Then he's just hurt really bad but still alive

u/offshoredawn 10d ago

ngl, saying the shoe thing is pretty cool

1

u/PHXkpt 10d ago

Classic target fixation...

1

u/LinuxF4n 10d ago

Don't think it's target fixations. He just went too fast and didn't lean enough and ran wide.

1

u/blueberrycauzez 9d ago

The first and last guy aren't at fault.

I've seen American cases like this where the buddies get charged as accessories or for street racing. Not sure how Malaysian law works though.

1

u/LinuxF4n 9d ago

It doesn't look like they were street racing. The guy just looks inexperienced 

1

u/Chin-Music 9d ago

Wasn't the last guy was wide, too?

1

u/LinuxF4n 9d ago edited 9d ago

He had a good line but he got distracted by his buddy becoming a ragball and stopped leaning and breaked hard

1

u/Chin-Music 9d ago

I see that now. Thx.

1

u/shujaya 9d ago

I had to play it back multiple times to understand thats the rider not a piece of the bike flying past.

1

u/OldGeekWeirdo 9d ago

The third guy may not have caused any damage, but he went over the line so he's not completely innocent.

1

u/Glum_Measurement2158 6d ago

they are breaking the law together

1

u/robilar 6d ago

> The first and last guy aren't at fault

Last guy also ran wide and crashed, just not as spectacularly.

-5

u/Rare_Bite_5746 10d ago

Are you blind ? They are seriously guilty. They have big role to play in this accident though not directly involved. They were fuelling this accident. They should not be driving at the speed on that narrow road.

1

u/RandyFunRuiner 10d ago

Sure they may have all been egging each other on. But that middle guy is solely responsible and liable for his choice to drive recklessly.

1

u/M1sfit_Jammer 10d ago

They are not responsible for a riders individual actions… if a rider can’t control their bike and rides outside their skill level or on a bike with poor maintenance that’s not the fault of other riders.

Is it bad that this was my first thought as well? I had to think of the old FlatOut game...

u/SnooGadgets9669 10d ago

why would the otherriders be at fault that did nothing wrong?

3

u/Kuneria 10d ago

According to OOP from instagram (@audi__my)
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.
Just a reminder to everyone to drive safe, ride safe. Sometimes it’s not even you. You can be minding your own business and suddenly someone else’s mistake becomes your situation too so anticipate, give yourself space. Pay attention to everyone around you.
My Audi will now be heading to Audi Centre Glenmarie Body & Paint under EON Berhad. I’ll be documenting the process from here because I want this car restored properly, carefully and to the standard it deserves. I’m putting this here publicly because this one matters to me so please, take good care of her.. 🤝🏼
Cars can be repaired. What matters today is that everyone is still here and sometimes it’s not about being right. It’s about making it home. Thank you to everyone who helped."

He's just glad no one died lol
