- sfacets, on 08/10/2008, -2/+45Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in disallowing things like nudity on Digg but allowing pictures such as this one?
- atcrawford, on 08/09/2008, -0/+24Pretty gruesome pictures
- ReidFleming, on 08/09/2008, -0/+21I have to say that these are about the least gruesome pictures given what has actually taken place. You don't have to look too hard to find some really disturbing crash scene photos. It's such a freakish thing to have happened that I can forgive it for being old.

because you only live once - mschellhouse, on 08/10/2008, -1/+19http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/tulsacrash.a ...
- Selkies, on 08/10/2008, -1/+12That's the USA.
- gubatron2, on 08/09/2008, -2/+12Mirror Here
http://mybloop.com/go/W45N38 - jeuhrn, on 08/10/2008, -4/+13Yeah, I did that too once, in NINETEEN NINETYFIVE.
- Hexoddz, on 08/09/2008, -2/+11Makes me wonder where his shoes went.
- xelloss, on 08/10/2008, -0/+9Read the article.
"When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck." - troth, on 08/10/2008, -10/+19HEAD ON! Apply directly to the forehead!
- Twenty5, on 08/10/2008, -2/+10this is like the 4th time i see this on digg.....
Just so that you guys dont digg me down.......... wow.... thats horrible - antonio97b, on 08/10/2008, -2/+10big difference of going 40 mph on a bicycle and hitting a car and going 140mph and hitting a car with a motorcycle. One will only kill you. the other could kill both the people in the car and on the motorcycle.
Dumb *****. Go take your own risks without putting peoples lives in danger. Take it to the track.
***** squids. - inactive, on 08/10/2008, -0/+8During accidents shoes are knocked off by the impact. I once saw a car/pedestrian accident where the victims were thrown 50+ feet but their shoes remained at the point of impact.
- ispeakasian, on 08/10/2008, -1/+8This has been on the front page at least once already, but dugg anyways. I always shudder when I see that..
- HHP2K, on 08/10/2008, -1/+7Saw this before on Digg, absolutely gruesome. Poor *****.
- atomicpoet, on 08/09/2008, -3/+8I drive an electric-powered scooter that can only reach top speeds of 20mph. Even at this speed, I have to pay special attention to my surroundings due to the sheer vulnerability that comes with such a vehicle. Thoughtless car drivers, wet roads, and potholes all mean caution is a must.
This motorcyclist must have had a death wish if he was traveling at 120mph. - Loopholes, on 08/10/2008, -0/+5You know the thing called taste? Yours is bad.
- upick, on 08/10/2008, -3/+8So did this guy die?
If he didn't I don't think his family would like us putting his photos on digg like this - ByteGuerilla, on 08/10/2008, -0/+4Thanks for that.
- aralls, on 08/10/2008, -0/+4reminds me of the corvette vs semi picture:

and the very gruesome shots of that teenage girl who took her dad's porsche 911 for a hi speed attack on a toll booth - ricktm, on 08/09/2008, -0/+4makes me proud to be an Okie.
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -2/+6Here in my car I feel safest of all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP2h16m8X1Y - zspeed78, on 08/10/2008, -0/+4Seriously now.. little kids ride their bikes at 20 mph everyday.. and in highschool a few of us hit that speed in PE on foot.. lets not get carried away with the life and death scooter riding here.. at 20mph you can jump off and into a spring for christ sakes.
- TheBuz, on 08/10/2008, -3/+7That's one way to get a head in life.
- ElHombreloco, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/tulsacrash.a ...
nope, he didn't live
but I guess it would be fairly accurate to say his last thought was "oh sh*t.." - Calypsoaf, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3I'm pretty sure "the freeway" is not a "right condition".
I'm just going out on a limb with that call. - theguesser10, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3I don't think they'd like it anyway. But I have a feeling I've seen this before and it's really old.
- CasinoJack, on 08/10/2008, -1/+4As DutchGlider said, shoes come off very easily under these kinds of impacts (especially if he was wearing trainers rather than boots). Though I am quite surprised there aren't trails of blood behind his bare feet - dragging them along the asphalt while the truck came to a stop over quarter of a mile would have peeled the skin off like a ripe tomato on a cheese grater.
- arjie, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3Two months ago, in the news, traffic policemen found a second victim because they noticed an extra pair of footwear on the road in an isolated area. The victim had been thrown into the bushes and he was lying their nearly unconscious when they found him. So, apparently, footwear gets knocked off all the time.
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -3/+5LOL!
I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
Green thumb for you sir... Bravo - alpharaptor, on 08/10/2008, -1/+3that's just a freaking slideshow of the pictures of the sceen
- bjornski, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2I really doubt he felt much.
- weoh, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2Motorcycles are crazy! I used to ride a bike until I crashed it doing around 100 mph or 160 km/h(i wasn't looking at the speedometer, so I don't remember exactly how fast i was goin'. I was paying attention to the road!) In Phoenix Arizona the temps can reach 120 f or 50 C, so wearing a helmet can get fairly dizzying, but for some reason on that hot summer day I decided that I should wear one and I was lucky. I landed chin first, and tumbled for 80 meters/yards.
I thought I had really ***** up my toe, I didn't even want to look. When I asked somebody at the scene if my toe was mangled, they looked at me funny, and said no. When I looked, t saw that my shoe flew off, my toenail cut through my sock, and the sock some how wrapped itself around my toe.
The nurse at the hospital told me about a man who hit a big boat of a car head on. He flew off the bike, hit his chest against the grill and his intestines spilled out, getting eaten by the radiator in the process.
A friend of mine told me about a coworker he knew that was showing off his new bike. He did a wheelie, hit a speed bump at 70 mph(112 km/h), flew off his bike, and hit head first, without a helmet, into a fire hydrant.
I met a kid at a friends house who wasn't so lucky. He got tossed from his bike, was doing cartwheels, when he landed funny, he tore off his leg.
I love motorcycles and want to get another one, when I move somewhere that doesn't have a motorcyclist life expectancy of 60 days. West side of Phoenix is full of crazy drivers(one of the most dangerous intersections in the US, is on the west side)
I guess the moral to the story is, be ***** careful on them *****, takes far less to kill you than just about anything.
Any spelling/grammar/formatting errors can be attributed to jimbeam.com - Pallas, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2At least Brandon White had the good luck to take himself out without hurting any innocents (except for devastating his family and friends, of course - isn't there anyone in your life you care enough about not to even think twice about such self-destructive behavior?). Your comment doesn't even acknowledge the fact that your reckless "fun" behavior will affect others, even in the fortunate event you don't injure or kill anyone else while having your fun.
By all means, live your life to the fullest extent possible - but that possibility should be limited to taking risks that don't significantly and unnecessarily expose others to death or injury from careless and selfish behavior like going 145 mph on a public highway others must also use.
You don't need to hide under your bed - just learn that your right to do what you want ends where others' rights not to be hurt by your actions start. If you want to drive your motorcycle at speeds unsafe on public streets, take up track racing, or rent a private track.
Your behavior just places you in the category of being a selfish dick. Other people who simply refrain from behaving like selfish dicks do not deserve to be branded as foolishly cautious ninnies by the likes of you.
BTW, in answer to your "Like what?" query, the father wants the state legislature to review motorcycle safetly laws, and suggests the state seize a rider's motorcycle for grievously dangerous unlawful behavior. A measure I would heartily approve of, since it would mean selfish pinheads who ignore traffic laws to the extent you are suggesting would simply lose their rides, and the money obtained by auctioning the seized property could be used to help defray the public expense of scraping less fortunate losers' worthless guts off the highways. - jsebrech, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2Think about this:
At 120 mph you're travelling 53 meters or 176 feet per second. The human reflex system can only respond in about 300 ms, and that is if you're paying perfect attention. Add up the physics of moving your bike and this means that it takes you around 2 seconds in ideal circumstances to dodge anything, even with race-level reflexes and machinery. That means it takes you 300 feet of lead time to dodge anything you didn't predict ahead of time.
In short: you're deluding yourself if you think that speed is safe with any kind of traffic on the road. - swizzlestick, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2From snopes: "21-year-old Devin Seigal, [...] was killed in a similar motorcycle accident five days after Brandon's death [the guy with the stuck head] (and had, in fact, attended Brandon's funeral)."
- ZombieSociety, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2How is that guy's head intact?
Also, I dare say the title of this is a bit misleading. I imagined some guy pouring glue on his head in a drunken stupor and diving into a passing truck.
Which would have been awesome. - ColorBlind, on 08/12/2008, -0/+1I owe it to no one to back that argument up. If you're interested fine...look it up. If not, please keep moving your eye balls down the page. This story is years old and the fact involved in this version are a far cry from the original.
- goodolboykt, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Supposed to go around those big things in the road, they aren't very good cushions.
- bjornski, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1Oops, meant MPH. Not everyone drives a hybrid.
- bigboss89, on 08/10/2008, -6/+7i guess he decided to take the situation head on
- getbusylivin, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1He could be killed easily if he's hit by one of the many selfish ***** driving a giant suv while simultaneously chatting away on the phone. There are so ***** many of them (possibly you who's reading this?).
Note to lawmakers - the hands free law barely caused a dent (no pun intended) here in California. - Her3t1k, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1ugh. dead meme is dead.
- sysop073, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1I love these completely unsubstantiated comments, they're always so grounded in reality
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1Removed from front page. Thankyou Digg censorship.
- rye419, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1YEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sarYH0z948 - Pallas, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1Wrong? Look it up on Snopes (there's even a link in the comments above yours). Looks pretty accurate to me.
