Description of the incident from the biker
videoIt was a nice day and I had to drive 3 hours south for work the next day and on the way I decided to stop in cedar key fl on the gulf coast for some lunch. Just crusin barely above the limit a Camaro slowed down without breaking so I didn't notice any break lights to catch my attention and on top of that I wasn't being aware of my surroundings and was looking to the right a little. At that perfect moment I realized how close the car got and it was too late."
"As I hit the brakes, I looked for an escape, there was no way I was gonna make it all the way to the left and go around so I looked off road to the right and saw a parked truck and telephone pole and that seemed like a bad idea so i just kept on the brakes and tried to get as far right as I could and take my chances trying to skim by the side. As you see that didn't go well."
"I went to the hospital and got some x'rays and nothing was broken! I was limping for about a week and a half and other than that, I was completely fine. I'm very lucky I didn't break a bone let alone that I survived rear ending a car at 68mph. I think my rucksack protected my back a'lot and cushioned the rear window from breaking and obviously I had a helmet too. Oh ya, if your wodering. Yes my bike is destroyed and I think ill buy a car next."

Oh sure, humanize the guy so we feel bad bashing him......
He just ran out of talent... Buying a car is the best idea I heard out of that story.
They don't steer well on the brakes... He just didn't have the experience to deal with the situation. He's really lucky to be alive. I don't care if you're on a dirt bike, street bike, or bicycle, if you have to avoid an obstacle, you need to get off the brakes just long enough to make your maneuver, then you can drop anchor. Braking and turning is an either/or decision on two wheels, you don't get both...
^ & don't ever look at what you want to avoid-
LOL on the face planting...alcohol! that intersection gif is outrageous....seems some accidents seat belts won't help...always respect the tractor trailors on the road....definitely have to scope the peripherals.
Its suppose to be people don't see the motorcycle...not the other way around.......harrrow???
Doesn't work with 4 wheels either.......
That guy ran out of "talent" long before he even saw the car, by not seeing the car in the first place. Honestly he shouldn't even be driving a car.
