Awesome shot video.

Unfortunately this will be one of those chain mail videos poeple without motorcycles will send to us saying "This will be you". Like the one with the head in the back of a Semi-truck.

Didn't the guy flying through the air at Isle of Man live? I thought I heard that.

I've seen two versions of that e-mail. One that basically showed the pics, another saying the guy lived because he was wearing a helmet. Haven't done any research on it, but I seriously doubt he lived. My guess is that he died from a broken neck. Anybody have any info on that one?

Someone was claiming that Arai had it on their website and claimed the guy lived. I don't think it was an Arai helmet nor do I remember even seeing a DOT sticker on the back.

I saw it on a Paramedics forum that I stumbled across which was the original forum. The guy died. He hit the truck at an estimated 120mph. Truck may have been rolling 70mph but the truck driver said he thought he got hit by another truck. I'm sure his organs where all over his body and the only thing that kept his guts from spilling out was that Icon jacket. No way someone could have survived that crash even if his helmet was lined with Satin Pillows. The G's from stopping would have been too much.

Also the truck drugged him for about a 1/4 mile. His flatbilled hat on his seat strap came out just fine though.

Oh yeah. Another friend of mine is a Paramedic and currently a Lifeflight Paramedic. He sees bike crashes all the time. He still rides though and use to race motorcycles years ago.

Because he's smart enough not to act like a tool on his bike.
