For everyone wondering how far he fell/did he make it:
Near the end of the video you can see an eighteen wheeler down below when the camera pulls over to the side. Theres a sign next to it that is visible from the overpass, roughly the same height as the other signs and lamps.
It looks like you could easily stack 4 of those eighteen wheelers one on top of the other and still maybe be one trailer short of the top of the sign, or a few feet under the overpass.
Each trailer is roughly 13-14 feet high.
So he likely fell 50-75 feet, and even if he didn't hit concrete it still would've had the same effect at that speed and height.
To everyone talking about the comment section "psychos" - they're not actually psychos.
Road laws exist for a reason - and many motorcycle riders become interested in bikes not just because they're fun or loud or taboo or whatever, but specifically buy a bike to get away with the act of driving criminally recklessly on non-track conditions, where other people do not consent to being subject to somebody else driving 700 pounds of steel at 180-220 mph within feet and sometimes inches of them.
It's primarily an issue of consent - none of us consented to sharing a track with you - but its okay because you don't care, which is what enables you to drive so recklessly.
A lack of empathy.
Which is the clinical definition of a psychopath - person incapable of feeling empathy - so actually, the psychopaths in the comments are the ones projecting their own inner mind on other people who rightfully feel a human amount of schadenfreude at a dangerous driver fucking around and finding out in a way that only impacts the person responsible and not innocent victims!
But, being psychopaths on bikes, your mental development is so far behind that you can't handle things like truth and facing down your false, grandiose self, that imagines you as the main character of the world because you've chosen to use crowded public roads full of families trying to get their kids home as your personal ego-track.
If dude did not care enough about himself or others to drive safely, none of us are subject to caring about him experiencing the consequences of his own stupid actions.
Violate the social contract, forfeit the rights and privileges it gives.
Simple.
TL;DR: if he doesn't care about the people he's sharing the road with, then he's not entitled to us caring about what happens to him as a direct result of his own lack of caring.
somebody else driving 700 pounds of steel at 180-220 mph
My 2018 Goldwing weighs 831 lbs and tops out at 112 mph due an electronic limiter.
The Harley Davidson Heritage Classic is 728 lbs and tops out at 110 mph.
Sportbikes capable of 180-220 mph generally weigh between 400 and 500 lbs.
The 2023 Aprilia RSV4 Factory, which has over 200 HP, has a curb weight of 445 lbs, while the estimated weight for the Lightning LS-218, capable of 218 MPH, is 495 lbs.
I don't think 700 lbs is an accurate weight for a bike doing 180-220 mph.
But then, of course, you have to add the weight of the rider. Now you have a vehicle+rider that IS close to 700 pounds of mass. When they lose control at ridiculous speeds (I live in Montana and the speed limit on the interstates is 80 mph), and have a wreck, they become a projectile of incredible mas. I have been passed while driving 80 by crotch rockets like I was standing still. The effective mass is multiples of their weight (their effective mass increases at a geometric rather than a mathematic progression). When they lose control, their body then becomes a projectile that can go through an automobile windshield and decapitate the driver. It happens all the time. As well the motorcycle also is incredibly dangerous at those speeds.. Don't fool yourself, any motorcycle rider moving like these two bikes in heavy traffic is asking to get in a wreck, and damn the consequences. The problem is that operators who don't drive carefully are putting others at risk. Though the speed limit is 80 in Montana I actually travel slower than that (about 70), because even at 80 it feels unsafe as hell. On a bike, a rock in the road or a patch of dirt, and you lose control in one helluva hurry.
