    Why not just let a great story of normal people banding together to save a life inspire and enlighten those who read it? We have certified NTSB employees all up in here don't we?
    i didn't make any sort of negative comment i was merely pointing out how not wearing a helmet may have saved this mans life. Its fate if i have every seen it!

    Nope, you didn't. Was he wearing a Hans device? Gloves? Padded leather pants and an armored jacket? Not really the point of the story. It is just irritating when "was he wearing gear that I would approve of?" comes up in a story when really, the point is the people, not the OSHA approval rating of the cloting the individual was wearing.

    No worries tho, it will happen in EVERY thread on this board about a mototrycle accident NOT involving someone we all know. It is the SOP because more than curiosity, people like to feel they are better or more capable than those who do not conform. That and being able to point out where someone else went wrong is a REAL rush around here. Carry on.

    Re: Bystanders Save Motorcyclist

    Incredibly lucky individual..! It's great to see complete strangers band together to rescue another, I believe a lot of us have that in us... I know I haven't got along that well with everybody at times, but I have a great respect and honor for everyone on this site and know that anyone on this site would be the first to help... I love the way the girl was the first to grab the car from the bottom and really lift the damn thing, the business suit just stood there (maybe the driver, in shock..?)... Anyway way to go people..!

    I know that between you and I, we could have lifted that 4000 pound car off the dude. The real question is, would we be able to lift a KLR if it were on top of him? I am guessing no.

    Fair enough I wasn't trying to push it in that direction though just making the observation that this man is very lucky to be alive and yes i do agree it is amazing to see a crowd of complete strangers help lift an entire car for one man no matter who he was or what he was wearing. When i watched the video for the first time i got a wave of "Wow that is something truly beautiful" that came over me! Human nature is amazing and good on these people for acting on it!

    Tough question, KLR's do like to take naps from time to time. If it was a KLR, I'd say he deserves it. Cut our losses and move on. Just my .02

    In all (ok, some?) fairness, the person shooting video wasn't just standing beside the fiery wreckage filming instead of helping... according to the commentary in this news report, the video was recorded by a person in a nearby office building.

    Good news is so rare nowadays, especially involving a motorcycle. Glad the guy's gonna be ok!

    And regardless of what gear the dude may have been wearing, someone did pull out in front of him and he is gonna live.

    Turns out the driver of the BMW is a department head at USU - the same university where the motorcyclist is a student...
