A  picture is worth a thousand words.
 
 The Honda rider was travelling  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  travelling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to  SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have travelled  over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this  incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.   
 
 In other words, they didn't even have time to say, 'Oh, ####!'

Ropes around a display all cordoned off in the middle of a shopping mall.  People don't draw lessons from crap like that they make jokes and point at.  If they'd left hunks of dead guy inside it would have been an object lesson.  As is it's just another dumb prop.

That's been around for a while, but it's no less dramatic.  Here's what it looked like at the scene.

ya know, all things considered if you HAD to die - instantly and with your face in the breeze...well there are worse ways to meet the maker.

Just sucks he took out two other innocents, that is the tragedy...he played and paid. 

They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I see that the motorcycle driver was found inside the car. I wonder if he was charged with breaking & entering. THE MUFFMAN

that WAS a Honda RC45 race bike. Very expensive back in the 90's. Most people that have them are collectors. I'm betting the bike was stolen and he was out running himself. Like Sean said, it's a shame he took out innocent people with his stupidity.
