This is Exactly Why You Dress For the Slide Not the Ride!

When we’re talking about people who choose to ride motorcycles, whenever you see someone riding without safety gear, it really makes you start to question things and why exactly they would go out without being prepared for the worst. As someone who tends to be careful when it comes to taking care of things like this that happen to be an easy extra step that could end up providing a lot of extra benefit, I have to say that I generally stay on top of them. However, it looked like this guy wasn’t about to throw on any safety equipment when he hit the highway on his motorcycle. As a result, he would end up paying the price.

According to the girl who filmed this whole thing, the motorcycle involved was actually showing signs of malfunctioning multiple times before the whole accident happened. However, she says that it looks like the rider ignored those signs and continued riding on anyway.

“This guy merged onto the freeway with his bike shaking. We followed him for 5-10 miles. Every time his bike would hit high speeds it would shake and I’m thinking “this guy is going to crash” so, unfortunately he did, but thank god he didn’t get ran over and no one else got hurt!!”

The video below shows the moment that this incident happened when the rider went down, dragging his skin across the highway as his bike leaned over on top of him, creating more momentum and more friction, playing up that level of hurt up a whole lot. You can’t help but feel bad for this guy who didn’t want anything more than a casual ride on a sunny day but I think that, from now on, this guy might be advocating for safety equipment usage among his fellow two-wheeled compadres.
