Now this dude was LUCKY

The cops were travelling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma.
They found this on the road.


An other patrol car stopped a truck some miles down the highway and were struck with the following image.


Truck driver said he thought felt the impact, and it took almost a 4 miles for him to pull over.






The motorcyclist was traveling at 120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck.#
It pays to have a good quality helmet when riding a motorcycle, THIS GUY SURVIVED.

120-0 in .00001 seconds=death, no matter what you have on.

theres NO WAY he hit that truck at 120mph. Im pretty sure a 120mph, 180lb object would almost efintely break that whole door down.

He probably hit it at 70-80mph. Think about it, hes going 120mph, the truck was probably doing 55mph.

boots didn't work too well though!

and reading the report you just know the parents have to blame something - a review of motorcycle laws? your son wasn't good at obeying the law, so who cares what it would have been, he'd still be where he is now...

Yeah, his friend must have thought the same thing because he want killed himself almost the same way because there weren't any laws to keep him from being stupid either...  I don't get how you can attend your friend's funeral and then die doing the same stupid shit 5 days later.

Side note, anyone see that one about the motorcyclist that got ripped in half on snopes?  Helmet didn't help him either. Peoples suspect he hit a pole after he flew off the bike and the force ripped him in half.  Helmets aren't a cure-all but did you know you can die just from falling over at a stop light and not bracing yourself? A helmet would save you there.

We're often given information that isn't true. I just like to be more inquisitive. When I got the modified email that said the guy lived I already knew it wasn't true but even if I didn't, that guy doesn't look alive and I would investigate.

sorry to be callous....but the body does not hang like that when it is alive. The feet would be flat and the legs would be upright trying to remove stress from the neck.

unless he was knocked out.

Here's a quick lesson. If he was alive, the ambulance crew, police, ANYONE would be trying to get him down. HE WAS DEAD!
