YouTube Video of motorcycle accidents

Post by NSASarge »

This is the longest YouTube video I've seen. It is 1 hour and 15 minutes of hundreds of accidents. It is interesting to see and try to determine who is at fault. Many of the short clips are overseas videos with many from Russia. England, Germany, Korea and the Philippines are also in there with some from USA. It is both educational and entertaining at the same time.

I don't call that entertaining. At least with the little I watched they did seem to have on good protection gear. Not all, but the majority did. Thank Goodness

Entertaining may not be the best word, but it's like watching a train wreck. You just can't help but watch. It is definitely educational. Many riders are at fault here trying to pass a stopped vehicle on either side. A lot more are due to speed. It made me think about all the different situations we all get into at one time or another.

I watched this video for 20 minutes and instead of entertainment I would be more inclined to say it was amazing !!!! Amazing how stupid some people can be, well 9 out of 10 anyway. Most of those incidents should have been avoided. And for heavens sake, when riding a wheelie , keep foot on rear brake pedal. rule #1
I guess rule #2 is stay away of Russian drivers ......
I had to stop it after I started to feel pain just watching
Should be viewed by all new m/c drivers..... See these guys!!!! that's what not to do, nuf-said.....

Watched 15 minutes of this, and determined that in Russia,
1. It's OK to pass on any side, at ANY SPEED no one signals, it's just a free for all
2. NO ONE STOPS for wrecks, except the guy who went down....and sometimes he doesn't...
3. At least one rider who crashed, stood and RAN off to the left....why? Stolen bike?

There are many many of these Russian car and bike wreck videos on You Tube for some reason.
It's all very scary -
