Too many of those looked fatal. I can't do it.

 

[blackdogdeek]

I hope not. I thought they looked survivable.

 

[destrekor]

That one (the third?) had to have been a drunk driver. Real drunk.

 

[cbrunny]

I really don't like watching people die.

 

[Jodell88]

Lmao at the couple on the motorcycle @ 1:40

 

[Aharami]

Russians are crazy, proven by the fact that they ride bikes in Russia

 

[Jodell88]

I hope not. I thought they looked survivable.

Not all. The one where the cyclist was thrown into oncoming traffic looked potentially fatal or at least serious injury.

Ugh, I hope not. That would be awful 🙁

ugh the 2nd to last one with the motorcyclist looked bad.

Wonder how long it will be until their road casualties reach the level of their WWII casualties.

 

[Ns1]

dude the 2 videos from 1:00 - 1:30 WTF

 

[Ns1]

man some of those hits were bad.

 

[ImpulsE69]

From what I could tell in most..there may have only been one death..or knocked unconcious and one seriously injured/dead.

I tell you though, as an avid rider, some of those were scary as hell. You just can't account for other people no matter how careful and observant you are.

Just saw a video where a speeding motorcylist took out someone participating in a parade in Michigan.

Idiots are everywhere.

News article.

If your helmet pops off that easily, its probably not going to save your life.

Its more likely they will have fully automated cars long before they get anywhere near that number.

The guys at 4:05. Yowzers

 

[Squisher]

I wonder if they have their version of motorcycle safety training courses? I don't see much in the way of counter steering to avoid a collision.

holy shit...didnt even realize there were two people on the bike

 

[Jodell88]

That is what happens when you're speeding.

If you slow it right down, the girl goes right through the back window of the SUV in front of the car. She hits it at a weird angle too. If she survived and walked away without spinal injuries, that's nothing short of a miracle.

Russia's high accident rate almost entirely boils down to aggressive driving. At least that's what most of these videos indicate.

...Saw a photo, think it was the Daily Mail, of a woman on the back of a motorcycle -- nude other than helmet and shoes. Actually, I see lightly clothed females all the time on the back of bikes on TV and on the street. Good luck with the skin transplants if you go down?

I find the saddest part of those videos the number of people who were immediately around the accident who just drive away. No stop to help, no waiting for the police.

I was in a bad accident recently and while everyone was ok, every single vehicle driving by stopped to check if people were ok. Probably 20 cars in all before the police arrived.

 

[halik]

Half of those people are likely dead. Not really into snuff films.
