Motorbike Crash Test #TBT - Fifth Gear

It's #ThrowbackThursday! Crash tests are usually taken place with cars, but what about motorbikes? We watch as a reconstruction crash takes place on a typical junction.

Love the way she says "it penetrates surprisingly deeply"

This is why I always " Look once, Look Twice, Look specifically for a Bike "

[sondao]

Ride like every car is out there to get you.

[questeusher]

this should be played as an adventure on tv, if car drivers saw this and realized they're as much in danger from the bike maybe they would pay more attention

I had a very similar collision other than I swerved to hit the hood, was going 45 and it is very scary watching this because everything slowed down when I was flying. Look twice people!

Nice to see that motorcycle rider can win an car-motorcycle crash sometimes🤣

This just happened to me, its why I looked it up viseo wise, right lane was stopped but my left lane was wide open until a split second later dude sped out in front of me from a shopping center off to my right and stopped immediately when he saw me, I had no time at all I just locked em down and stood up (40mph ish) and nailed him, I remember the hit then smacking the ground. He came out and said a lady waved him out. My right knee felt like it got a good stinger and everything else felt fine and I wasn't even worried but turned out my shin bone shattered and my thigh bone at the knee broke, so basically this guys mistake has changed my life forever I will never walk right again.

Motorcycle manufacturers could research the feasibility of installing automatic ejection seats triggered by sensor input just before an imminent collision.

Definitely something needs to be done for curtain airbags to deploy for this type of crashes

[LackeyKh]

Not sure why, but I laughed way too hard at this.

[Mazxlol]

i crashed my bike in a similar way, except i got lucky and hit the front side of the car so it ejected me off the bike and i flew over the hood! its crazy because i remember flying like time slowed down! got up without any problems. that was about 20 mph though- but bike was totaled

[OverlandTT]

Bikers need to keep to speed limits to prevent this!

[DrewsTurbo]

This happened to me last year.

Only motorcyclists know how impossibly incompetent, unaware and blind drivers are.

[georgebushaway]

This exactly happened to me but I flew over the car instead which is probably what saved me.

It shall be mandatory to watch 20min of crash test videos before you decide to pass your motorcycle permit.

[dylan_.]

Conclusion: Drive a $500, 000 dollar armored Humvee with machine guns on top.

[salpairadice]

Assuming the car pulled out in front of him, I don't know what he could do.

[guitarfoundry]

Conclusion: Look where you're going an don't pull out in front of bikes

By the way this car weighs like 2000 pounds, the average american car is 4000 pounds and usually much taller so you would get crushed if you crashed a motorcycle into an suv. I don't own an suv and i hate them i'm just saying.

should've had the dummy driving the car updating its facebook or sending a text to make it more
