What's the worst crash you've seen?

saw a truck lose a couch. some dude in a montero suv swerved to avoid it and flipped it. I was about 4-5 car lenghts back and braked hard. he rolled it about 2 times on the highway. within a few seconds people were sprinting to get the family out. guy's wife was bleeding a lot, somehow the kid was fine in the backseat. I called 911, and pulled over. cop came out of nowhere and traffic was stopped. then they flipped it back over with a few random people. truck that lost it's shit didn't stop immediately and I'm not sure if they did eventually.

then one time I was on an overpass highway exit that was very high up. clearly crashed harley cruiser with no rider and cop car parked behind it on shoulder. down below an ambulance and fire truck. see pic somewhere around there was the ambulance.

And it's a public road. You are as free to ride helmetless as you are to drive without a license or insurance.

So you think the federal government has the right to ban any activity so long as its in public?

...

when i did MSF someone brought a brain bucket helmet and the instructor completely destroyed the guy for buying it/bringing it. he was a typical boomer wanting a HD to cruise the weekends with. he showed a picture of some guy who died on a bike with half helmet.
then when it came time to do the riding part the instructor asked him if he wanted to use his brain bucket or a full face they have in the trailer. nigga chose the half helmet with HD branding .

he just refused to wear full face.

Nice infographic. Now can you answer my question?

I'm not just thought the infographic might shed some light on American helmet laws.

Just because a government can use its power to do things that are ultimately good for most people doesn't mean it should if individual freedom begins to erode.

You can ride around your property all day with no helmet if you want.

someone get hit by a car riding a bike across the street while i was getting my car washed

>guy was speeding, probably doing 50mph
>kid wasn't wearing a helmet
>surprising lack of blood
>noises everywhere

my car was just finished, so i just drive away. he had friends and i just assumed he was dead, so fuck him.

You're still dodging the topic at hand. What makes you think the federal government has the right to dictate what individuals do to themselves so long as they aren't harming anybody else?

It's thinking like yours that is killing personal responsibility for our future generations.

god damn

Yeah fuck the government. Nanny state forces me to have fire escapes on my factory.

Not having fire escapes directly impacts other individuals, you imbecile. Not wearing a helmet only affects the individual who made the choice not to.

This is also the first crash I've ever seen

Retards gonna retard. The world has sharp edges and I have trouble dredging any fucks up from giveafuck bay if dumbasses want to remove themselves from the gene pool.

Motorcycles are for dumb people anyway. And I say this as a former donorcycle rider. I rode (full helmet, leathers, boots and gloves because I wasn't completely stupid) for a couple years and had enough close calls to just take the hint and sell the bike.

I could understand riding in a place like Montana or way out in the middle of nowhere, but riding around in any kind of traffic is idiotic, because the world is full of people who can barely drive a car, yet do it every day.

fuck

sorry user

>donorcycle
Kek, that is so fucking true. Everytime I was driving with medfags and we passed a motorcyclist they'd make some comment about organ donations. Riding is all fun and games until you become a bloodstain on the road because Stupid Susy couldn't be bothered to check her mirrors first.

My own when it got smashed in half.

Retard
Look up sovereign citizens getting owned on YouTube. All those people are you.

That's a 2012 with a 5 speed auto. Good try though.
But fuck that retard

what was he crushed by
was she trying to overtake someone and hit something stationary in the right lane?

...

The roads here are pretty safe, so I'll have to go with something I saw on TV
youtube.com/watch?v=rGvNlddi1fY

I suppose you think that's funny.

You are fucking retarded if you really use that argument in this case. If you had used it with terrorism, it might have worked, but not here. I guess you're one of those sovereign citizens I've heard of.

I don't care if people are too fucking stupid to not wear a helmet, that's on them if they want to go splat and die. But ya know, someone still has to clean that up

Such is an everyday occurrence in the land of Yuropooria

Nigga unless your 35+ your a millennial

Why do people even act like the arbitrary name of a generation is an insult

It's just autistic

i didnt see the crash itself happen

but i saw a car rolled over in a ditch that had the sides like...pushed in? it looked like as if someone grabbed the car like a soda can and crushed it

Some cars crashed on the opposite direction of the motorway. This caused all the fuckwits on my side to slow down and look, it was awful, I got home later than I should have.

Your dad is a fucktard, he shouldve jumped at the road. This is why boomers/old folks should stay at the back seat.

Honestly he deserved it

Thisi is why you never let womyn drive. This is the kind of people that demanded oldsmobile to make autotragics, because lol wimyn cant drive. but yeah equal rights

>t. newfag who still browses /b/

Dang, sorry bro.

Same reason you have to wear seatbelts. Think of it as a tax, you're an idiot, and now the government has to chance cleaning your dumbfuck brains off the pavement whereas if you wear a helmet, you pick up the ambulance bill.

Australian paramedic here, if this thread is still alive when I wake up (it's 3am here) I'll have some stories.

The people I know who are most active on Facebook are all fucking Boomers.

Nope.

It was just a scare with some bruises. Problem was we were in a fast highway in the middle of nowhere, and a lot of people were trying to help. Last I know everybody in the car was OK but we didn't stay to wait for the ambulance, there were already a lot of people.
It felt like an action movie on how the car was flying

No, really. I might do the same.
Fuck those people. If you are drunk as fuck or tired as fuck, go sleep somewhere. Don't keep driving, you literally are toying with your life, your beloved lives and other people's lives.

Reminds me of something that happened a couple of weeks ago.

Went to pick up GF (ED nurse), waiting by the ED entrance, saw a bunch of young brown people crying, looking down, sitting on the curb all sad keanu. GF got into car, pulled out of entrance and saw a line of crotchrockets parked across the street.

Just another day during "riding weather".

They have special nurses and entrances for erectile dysfunction?

Weird.

Were they sad because their buddy was having boner trouble?

How does an ED nurse do her job anyway?

Seen a lot of crashes but the worst one to me was when me and my friend were riding mopeds, we were cruising in a parking lot type thing probably doing like 35mph and he tried to jump off a curb next to me, it would have been fine but the springs in the forks were snapped and we didnt know it.
The springs alone are what hold the forks together, it's a really shitty design.
So when he got air the forks came apart and the front wheel fell off.
He face planted into the ground with no helmet going 35 and was immediately knocked unconscious, he slid on his face for a good 20-30 feet and just layed there.
I ran up to him and blood was leaking out of his nose and his face was busted up, bones all broken and cracked and shit.
He wasn't responding to anything and he was gurgling on blood, it was really terrible and just thinking about it makes me cringe.
He was in a coma for a few days in the hospital, he's all fine now thankfully, but that shit was scary as fuck I though he was gonna die.

>state trooper appears and begins asking him questions

His seating position basically turned his knees into dash-seeking missiles on impact. I felt no sympathy.

That's awful man.

>driving over high bridge
>see car pulled over at the top
>no traffic backup yet, accident just happened
>faggio tier moped on the ground in front of the car
>only see one guy at the accident freaking out

Either the other person committed suicide or was somehow ejected from the moped over the side of the bridge.

Because everyone hates teenagers and wants them to die and won't admit it.

You have about 12 more years to go before the Alpha generation (yes that is what it's going to be called) is the new four letter word. Good news is most boomers are starting to get senile so that is also a bad word among anyone trying to get something done. Ageism is toxic either way.

>seriously everything beyond the B pillar is just gone, only the front half is sitting on the road and the entire rear section is nowhere to be seen
I later checked the news and the site that lists emergency calls, apparently nobody got killed. Looked fucking insane though.

I saw a head on between a semi and a trailblazer. The guy in the blazer was fine and walking around. The guy in the semi broke his ankle.

bump

I got one.

That was the end of my fishing season that year. No clue what happened to the cig boat driver. Really hope he died.

No, but the government, like any citizen, has a right to enforce certain behavior on its property. I can demand and enforce that you wear assless chaps in my house. The government can demand and enforce that you wear a helmet on its road.

Some pretty interesting stories in this thread anons, thanks for sharing.

Haven't seen any myself, despite driving 100 miles every day most of the year. Maybe this fall once I start driving more I'll see some.

Never got that
STALKER crashes every time I play it though

I've heard MRAPs are about the shittiest thing to drive imaginable

i can't even describe the feeling of sitting on the roof of my favourite car after flipping it and almost killing myself. however the car's a MMC Galant from 2000 so the insanely strong body saved me and later i found out it's still in top condition.
the car is pretty much a family heirloom so i'll have to wait until i can buy it back when my grandfather passes away

Why did he call you user?

My dad. He was coming up in the pro-stock circuit. Last race of the season, he was coming into the final turn when a driver named Kenny Linder tapped his bumper and put him into the wall at a hundred and twenty miles an hour. I watched my father burn to death. I can still remember him screaming. The people who were there said my father died long before the tanks blew. They said it was me that was screaming.

He forgot his name.

Watched Joe Jamail's son 1v1 a telephone pole when I was a wee lad climbing the tree in our front lawn.

He lost.

motorcycles are fucking terrible. my family has never been the same after my uncle died on one when i was 4 years old

Don't you have a Charger to endlessly rebuild, Dom?

sorry to hear bro. that's really messed.
