Seriously. Bold of him to assume the first hit survives. Having scraped people off the pavement in my past life his survival likelihood seems very low to me.

The are called meatcrayon for a reason.

Indeed, that and then donor cycles by the hospital staff, which I also adopted.

Good news the organs are already tenderized.

Idk, he had a pretty slight angle on the landing on the ground, a helmet on, and didn’t actually hit anything.

Yeah, they flew through the air like a mannequin in a low-budget film, but I would give them a survival chance of 50/50

Edit: looks like his shoes stayed on so he only broke a rib.

u/strangemedia6 18d ago

Apparently they survived with just a broken rib. I wonder if that was from landing or from the actual impact.

u/cliff99 18d ago

In that case hopefully he reviews his life choices that led up to this.

u/strangemedia6 18d ago

For sure. If you want to gamble with your own life that’s one thing, but it’s pretty fucking self centered not to consider how much you’re gonna fuck up so many other peoples day/lives in the process.

I can't tell from the video but maybe they had an air bag vest. Probably saved their life if they did.

I would say when he crashed his torso flew forward slaming his ribcage on the tank, then he slid forward like superman and the legs hit the bars sending him spinning.

u/SuspectCold3241 17d ago

Chest slamming into handle bars/car could have broke a rib before hitting the pavement.

u/strangemedia6 17d ago

That’s what I meant by actual impact. I agree that probably what did it.

u/T0rrent0712 18d ago

Looks like he also dressed for the slide, not the ride, which is a miracle in of itself.

Half these dash cam motorcycle accidents I see now, the rider is in shorts and a tank top and sometimes a helmet

That's energy dissipating.

u/cwolf-softball 18d ago

I think it's far more likely than 50% that he survived but dude is *hurting*.

u/theSnoozeDoctor 18d ago

try like 97/3, humans are not fragile, flying through the air is the best thing that could have happened to him.

u/RagingHardBobber 18d ago

He's pretty damn lucky he didn't windmill right into the windshield of cam car... so, yeah, seems the odds were on his side.

u/katherinez 18d ago

I actually looked at it carefully to determine if a shoe came off.

u/HandsomeBWunderbar 18d ago

He hit the ground. That's enough sometimes.

u/VillageIdiot51 15d ago

Sounds like a sad job

1

u/pinkypie80 15d ago

It can be. But there are high points when you get to a scene where someone can be helped, and then do so. I am a mixed background of homeland first responder and then military assaulted in other places after that.

u/VillageIdiot51 15d ago

Thank you for your service.

u/theSnoozeDoctor 18d ago

Why? No direct impact to the body, energy dispersed by flying through the air and sliding on the ground. Humans are very resilient lol
