Rider hits a truck head on. Video.

Just saw this video posted on liveleak.com.  I could not imagine being that guy on the bike with the camera.

I did much the same thing my second time out riding, except the curve was a left-hander so instead of a truck I hit a ditch  ;)

That's why inexperience can get you hurt or killed...  The guy pretty obviously didn't know how to ride properly or simply wasn't paying attention.

ya its never easy watching a video like this, but you dont often get to see the actual video of them hitting the vehicle.  That was the only reason I posted it.  I thought it was kind of funny that the person who posted the video said the camera was on the car behind him.  I dont think I have ever seen a car like that.

no problems with the post....just freaky watching  someone fly through the air.i have wiped out...but nothing (thank god)like some of those.
someone posted a video a few weeks ago.it showed a guy smashing into a wall while racing...he flew 50 feet at least (ouch)looked like a ragdoll :-\
