Bad crash in front of Wendy's today.

GetawayInMoscow · 09-21-2007, 03:26 PM

I've been lurking here for awhile but I saw a pretty bad crash today in front of Wendy's so I thought I'd finally post.

Didn't see exactly what happened, but I did see that this idiot wasn't wearing his helmet and now as a result his face is probably fucked for life.

Guys face was all in blood and I could tell skin was just ripped off on his right side. The guy was wearing a jacket though...

As bad as it was I don't feel bad for him at all because I bet if he had a helmet on he could have gotten up from it and walked away.

Anyone see it from beg. to end?

wadel · 09-21-2007, 03:27 PM

Ouch! I hope the guy is doing OK. Any idea what kind of bike he was riding?

koorbloh · 09-21-2007, 03:38 PM

ya, a description might be helpful....

hope he's alright

GetawayInMoscow · 09-21-2007, 04:04 PM

Couldn't tell what kind of bike it was, all I could see was the bottom side of it (the header and 2 wheels). It was a cruiser though, I dunno what kind maybe a 90's yamaha or something to that effect.

There was like 100 college students crowded around. It was right next to the crosswalk of death, UI students will know what Im talking about. Originally I thought another person got hit walking across the street.

koorbloh · 09-21-2007, 04:05 PM

damn....poor guy

SonicBlue03 · 09-21-2007, 04:07 PM

Why does his not wearing a helmet make him an idiot?

GetawayInMoscow · 09-21-2007, 04:08 PM

OMG I forgot to add the craziest part of the story.

Not 10 minutes later I am driving the other way (forgot to get some shit at Wal Mart) and this Saturn pulls out making a left and going East, it fucking nails this old ass muscle car, right in front of me!!!

This was 2 accidents within 100 yards of each other and within 20 minutes of each other.

are you serious with that question? I hope to never ride anywhere near you.

Fucking Idaho with no helmet laws, but I have no sympathy for anyone so retarded as to not put on a proper lid.

ok, we all know that helmets help when you wreck....

but please....this is a rider who went down...

get over it...he's hurt

he'll either wear a helmet next time, or he won't....

you whining about it on the internet won't make any difference

If Anthony isn't whining, he has nothing to post.

The point of the question is why brand the guy an idiot? Idaho doesn't require helmets, although to most of us it would seem silly not to wear one because the risks to the rider are higher. It's unfortunate the guy was hit in town, and until anyone knows what happen it seems even more unfortunate that the first comment assumes that no helmet = idiot.

^^NOT true. I just think its Silly to feel sorry for someone who chooses to not protect themselves then gets hurt. Lets all just go play in a AIDS infested Thai whore house and screw without condoms on. I am sayin, if he REALLY had no helmet on, why show him sympathy? Big line IMO.

Also, go look up my 3000 plus posts and see how many are whiney. Don't use my name like you know me either.

Because it turns it into a gear thread. And if you want to start judging the guy because he abided by his state law and didn't wear a helmet, but don't want to be judges for wearing whatever you want when you ride in town, you're the pot calling the kettle.

And a spot check of 10 random posts of your last 100, 9 met the criteria. So I stand corrected. Not all. Anthony.

And you were there for both of them... How did you do this?

Just pullin' your chain. Welcome.

Bummer on the downed rider - that sucks. Hope he recovers.

With that line of thinking, what are you doing riding a motorcycle? Cars are a lot safer.

I agree with Koorbloh: A fellow motorcyclist is injured. Let's drop the lectures from this thread.

Van · 09-21-2007, 05:28 PM

So GetawayInMoscow... It seems you are bad luck, just like redline.

On an up note, Moscow drivers suck so god damn bad. Its almost daily that I almost get hit in my car, that is pretty much why I only drive to class now days.

Transported · 09-21-2007, 05:57 PM

You know how we know he's an idiot? Because he's probably saying to himself right now, "Boy, am I an idiot for not wearing a helmet." And, his girlfriend is probably saying, "Dear, I love you, but you're an idiot for not wearing a helmet." And, his coworkers next week will be saying, "Roy, you're an idiot for not wearing a helmet." Well, you get the idea.

But that doesn't make him an idiot. That just means that almost everyone around him or people who hears about his accident "think" he's an idiot. BIG difference

Kawakaze67 · 09-21-2007, 06:18 PM

well i will just say it. he is an idiot and i would say that about any person that rides without a helmet. saying someone is an idiot doesnt mean that the person actually is, its just one persons perspective about another person and we are all entitled to that perspective.
i hope he recovers and i hope next time he rides, he wears a lid. poor guy.

and welcome to the forum!

It's not whining, it's just not sympathizing with someone who made a dumb choice and paid the price for it. Maybe someone who rides w/o a helmet will see his face somewhere down the road and re-think their decision to ride with no helmet. For the rest of his life he'll be a walking advertisement for riding with a helmet.

we don't know that's the case. Maybe it is, or maybe he's just a poor rider who took a spill w/o a helmet. In that case he'd be an idiot in my book. I'd still feel bad for him though.

dragon644 · 09-21-2007, 06:36 PM

I have a few friends on the Moscow Fire Dept, so the scoop I got is when they toned out for the ambulance the dispatcher said that he had gone over his handlebars and landed on his face. The EMT’s who responded stated that yes he did land on his face badly, and he was also covered in gasoline.

So this is what I know. There should be something in the daily snooze paper tomorrow.

Hey man, screw in whatever whore house you want but realize you've been misinformed. Condoms don't protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases (any educated American knows that). So keep raving about the whole helmet deal, but stop PMSing and have some sympathy...helmet or not, that's our brother that's fucked up and you're the ignorant asshole that makes the rest of us look bad.

????
I'm thinking the guy the went over his handle bars onto his unprotected face is the one making us look bad...not the guy commenting on it

GetawayInMoscow · 09-21-2007, 09:51 PM

Sorry but, you shouldn't even be riding a bicycle without a helmet.

Riding on a motorcycle without a helmet is just asking for Darwin to come take care of you.

Like I said, the guy was wearing a leather jacket, which makes the whole situation even stupider.

I used to race downhill mountain biking, I would get shit for always having my helmet on, even if it was just to ride from one camp site to another. Well my friends who never wore theirs all eventually learned the hard way that being hospitalized and paying ambulance fees is not very cool.

Baldy · 09-22-2007, 12:39 AM

I don't post in gear threads but will make an exception I remember reading a sign in a bike shop back when I had my mountain bike it said this "we have a name for people who ride without helmets...... organ donor"

highjacker · 09-22-2007, 03:12 AM

anyone that rides without a helmet is obviously not smart. I do feel for this guy, regardless of what he was wearing or how it happened. I too used to jump on my bike without a helmet if i was just going in town or something. Well one day i had no gear on but my helmet....that was the best choice I have made. If I had not put that helmet on that day, I am 100% sure I would not be typing this now. I managed to only suffer roadrash over 10% of my body (which is way more than you think!) and a broken neck. There was one deep gash in the back of my helmet idicating that i had landed on my neck and head at 60+.....what do you think that would have done to my head?? Smart paople do stupid things all the time and it is not out of line to say that NO HELMET=STUPID Idaho says you dont have to wear one, but idaho has many redneck laws that make no sense!

Trauma · 09-22-2007, 07:15 AM

Lets just hope he's not an "idiot" for the rest of his life because of this poor decision........and make sure it's none of us.

p.s. I'm still wearing my condom on the next trip to the whorehouse!!
p.p.s. Is that where the next bike night is going to be held?

Umm yeah, actually latex condoms do protect against HIV and other STD's, that the whole point of latex.

It's the sheep skin condoms that don't protect against STD's, only having kids.

I guess "any educated American" is a lot fewer people than we think!

And yeah, I am so sure I who wears my helmet and doesnt practice the over handle bar super man is the one who makes "us" look bad. I am soooo ignorant Phil.....
