A.  Anyone with any sense knows he died.
B.  More than one pic w/ an ambulance in it, no one helping him.  "Just hang out for a second, bud.  We'll be right w/ you. Right after we take pictures."

I'm surprised that his feet are intact.  I woulda thought that the pavement would have sanded them down a bit.

You don't know at what point the footwear came off...

yeah, good call, you'd probably loose your job if you're taking photos and saying how this is going on the internet whilst someone is trapped in the truck!

I've done about 6 autopsies on moto victims.   They primarily have head trauma as COD. Helmet or not, the concussion of hitting a guardrail at 75 mph is more than most cervical verts can bear.  You can tell that buddy in the photos is DOA due to the back-head angle - that's broken, folks.

Most memorable case was what we called the Ichabod Crane case: I open the body bag and there's no head, just a body in riding leathers.  I go back into the fridge and find a small bag on a separate gurney...you guessed it.  Head was still in the Shoei helmet.  Strapped in.  Cleanly dislocated from the torso. This guy went off the road in a corner and hit a tree, at night.   I'll never forget the expression on the face when I lifted the visor. 

Your an autopsy dude?

man. i always wondered what it would be like to work that job...

what did his face look like?

His face still had an expression? 

yes, a coroner would be a  very interesting job, although some people find it distasteful - but then again those same people think that sewage manages itself.

I used to know a gentlemen who was the state coroner - he had some fantastic stories and knowledge - the most important thing I learnt is just how much death goes on - the media focus on a few stories here and there but there is death everywhere (by both natural and man-caused instances)

Best way to describe it is, "OHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" 

Worked in a Pathology lab from 89-97.  Best job I ever had.  Learned so many things I would have gladly done the job without pay.  Really puts things in perspective.
