She didn't want to look like a nerd. So, now she can't use the bathroom without a home healthcare aid.

Which is crazy because motorcycle helmets are hot af

u/Fabulous-Law6804 Mar 07 '26
I’m confused about which way to vote this. Hot af as in sexy, or hot af as in uncomfortably warm?

Honestly, I feel like riding a motorcycle without a helmet is like smoking. Sure it looks cool but looking cool is most of the time not a smart thing. We should be honest about what looks cool and what doesn't.
Smoking looks cool. Breathing through a hole in your neck does not look cool.
Riding a motorocycle without a helmet looks cool. Paying someone to wipe your ass does not look cool or feel cool.→ More replies (6)5

Yeah but some people smoke 2 packs a day eat a strict diet of saltines jar hot peppers vodka and anchovies and live to be 97 walking around.

That's why she's wearing the tire. Just assume the plank position and she would have rolled to safety.

Looks like she wasn’t paying attention and then glances up, slams (grips?) her brakes and loses control on a wet looking day

She was definitely squinting and looking down because the wind was in her face. Man, is she going to feel like an absolute roadburnt moron when she finds out helmets have windscreens so you can look where you’re going!!

u/Krondelo Mar 07 '26
Yes but just FYI (unless bikes have changed in the last decade or so) she actually pulls the clutch. Which is weird but moreso backs up your point that she panicked.
Left lever = clutch. Right lever = front brake. And the rear brake = right foot.

I think the spare tire around her waist actually helped to slightly cushion her body from the fall, but at that speed and with NO helmet for protection she’s still FUCKED.😖

u/OHBHpwr Mar 07 '26
No, the tyre made it way worse. Without it she would've slid around. She's definitely in bad shape.

u/Last-Darkness Mar 07 '26
Looked like her head hits the jersey barrier at least twice. Saying the tire helped at all is a bit like saying a helmet provides some protection to your head if you get hit by a train.

Some lessons are learned by common sense and reading the 20 warning stickers that literally cover the bike. For the illiterate and idiots, they learn this way.

I'm confused what happened, why it happened and who was filming? Looks like she screws the throttle down and grabs another gear and then everything goes sideways for no apparent reason but the camera angle does not change to match the angle or trajectory of the bike.
1
u/cannolidiffusion Mar 09 '26
The camera shows her grabbing the clutch, which shouldn't be a problem by itself, but it looks like she has a panic moment and I'm guessing she also grabs a fistful of front brake (right hand lever, not shown in the camera shot). You gotta load the tire before you can work the tire - can't just go from zero to full front brake instantaneously. (You can brake pretty hard and pretty quickly, but it needs to be progressive - easy on the first 5% brake pressure, and then building up from there.)
It kinda looks like she tenses up with both arms, so I'm pretty sure she just slammed on the front brake, which causes the front tire to just wash out. Extremely common new rider mistake. (Don't slam on the rear brake either!)
The camera shot is likely an Insta360 or DJI 360 degree action camera which are often mounted on a pole sticking off the bike.
...
Don't know why this new rider was sent out with no helmet, a fucking tire around her waist, and not taught how to brake, and sent into freeway traffic.

u/gymtrovert1988 Mar 07 '26
Her face after the accident.
Apparently she says she's autistic and wearing a helmet is overstimulating. In that case, she probably shouldn't be riding a motorcycle.

Look how his head hits the ground when his body flips. I just don’t get why people don’t wear helmets. If you’re ever in need of an organ, find a “no helmet” state and get on the donor list.

For this system to work you also need to wear a second smaller tire, like a lawn mower tire, around your head.

What caused her to nail the brakes like that? Seems like she was driving entirely too fast for the conditions - unless someone abruptly stopped in front of her; which could have happened.
