they call them organ donors
Meat crayon, then organ donor.

So, at a glance, you can see his head bounce off the pavement
and his face drag.
This is why I think motorcycles have like 6 times the fatality rate compared to cars. Young stupid men, sorry ladies most of you are too responsible, maybe there are stupid ladies and I am a bit sexist, but young stupid men being able to afford a motorcycle because it is cheaper than dirt and has the power to weight ratio of a supercar. Then thinking we were born different, we have been riding this amazing piece of machinery for a year now, clearly we are special, a motoGP driver in another life (PS they plan to drop at least 6 times a year), we are the the blessing from the road Gods, we become cocky, we show off… And we actually make it, then after the first time it is like chasing the dragons tail, that adrenaline rush, and every time we push our limits a bit more, become more confident. Then we push and …. fuck what was that wobble, suddenly everything goes into slow-mo, “FUCK!!! I am falling toward that barrier. Dead.
It happens so fast. You are lucky if you slide, like this guy did, it means you are not coming to a sudden stop. Skin regrows actually back amazing, around the hips are the most painful.
Driving motorcycles, especially litre bikes, unfortunately feeds into the power fantasy. It is addictive. I drive mine everyday and still I promise myself to drive nicely, yet when I overtake my lizard brain takes over and I grin from ear to ear as everyone basically stands still as I overtake three cars in less than a second. I know I am going to fall and hit the road one day. I an a stupid young man driving a motorcycle. But I spend basically a shit load of money on my gear, ask me why and I will show you the places where you can see hou i paid for that knowledge with a pound of flesh. Wear your gear and try to be humble, watchout for cars even if you have right of way, graveyard is full of bikers who had right of way. Cars have a steel box protecting you, all you have is a bit of animal skin or composite material and a hard shell with Styrofoam keeping you alive
That’s why I bought a KLR, it is slow. It can barely overtake. However, it will still kill you if you are dumb enough to try to ride off-road at high speeds.
I kinda want to walk up to the guy as he is laying there and ask him:
He’d like to respond but he has no face.
A helmet would have prevented some of the head injury, but I don’t expect even leathers would have helped a whole lot. Some kinds of stupid just have unavoidable consequences.
The leathers and helmet would probably have helped out with nearly every injury there.
When you’re properly protected for the side you really only have to worry about friction burns and hitting a stationary object while sliding.
Helmets protect the head from shocks and abrasion.
Leather or cordura protects the body from abrasion.
So when wearing these, you can fall with “little” risk as long as you don’t hit anything (usually sidewalks, trees, walls, safety barriers, another vehicle…).
A helmet would have prevented what seems to have been some serious injury to the head and face.
See screenshots in my previous comment.
“Meat crayon” is a wonderfully evocative phrase
I cringed and went “ohhhhh nooooo!” When I saw his face slide across the road 💀
Don’t worry, he probably didn’t feel a thing at that point already.
It’s the sausageman.
