Crash vids aka safety equipment testing.

Thought it would be cool to start a thread on crash videos. It's amazing to me that almost all the video when ATGATT is being practiced the riders get up and walk away.

Also I thought it would be fun to discuss what may have caused the crash. WE all know by now that there are a ton of factors that may contribute to a crash.

Some of the consistent things from this video seem to be lane splitting and a car turns from the roadway in front of the bike. Or they will be splitting and a car will make a turn across their lane.

You think the guy at 6:37 ish stole that bike? Who gets up & runs like that!
And is that a remote control car that causes the crash at 12:06?

yes on the remote control car, and no on the stolen bike. If it was Russia I'm sure he was chasing down the car that turned in front of him with an ax.

My favorite one was...all of them??? Or the drunk guy at the red light who falls over and can't get his bike back up.

So I take it you were able to walk away. How was your gear afterward? What suit did you have at the time?

Astar trigger no rips no tears and did its job. I walked away and rode my ZX6 for the remainder of the day. It was only like 55 or 60 MPH

I've been there twice in the last 2 years. When I take a cab, I close my eyes and tell myself "he's done this before; he knows what he's doing".. can't watch!!
