Some of the most incredible crashes you may ever see
Disappearing Motorcycle
The Honda rider was traveling at such a 'very high speed', his
reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police
estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155 mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car
side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's
reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him
to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was
found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the
force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic
demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police
and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider
had only recently obtained his license.
At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With
normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would
have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In
this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.
Little
is known about this accident except that one car is now two.
