Swedish Bike/Car Accident

[Hafabusa]

Maybe this has been shown before, but someone (non-rider) just sent it to me. Said this in the attachment:

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 (155mph) 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.

wasn't it determined that was staged? Otherwise, they'd have to pull the bike out, take bodies out, clean up all the blood and guts, and put the bike back in. I'd imagine it'd have to be spotless to show it in public...

If you look at the bottom of the car you can see where they had to cut it in half to get everyone out.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was completely real, the story goes that the rider was doing 150mph on an RC45 (yes, it's a Honda) only a few months after getting his license, car pulled out, wham, all 3 dead.

Totally the biker's fault in my estimation.

....they may have cleaned it up.............which you would expect them to.....

.....but I don't think it was staged.......

....."staged".........implying "faked".......

.....there are more than enough idiots in this world...that will create scenarios as shown above...............................for them to need to fake something like this.....

Sure, it would have been a great effect to have the bodies still in there, but I had to think that we don't really think about the kinetic energy our little 600lbs has. We can kill people other then ourselves.
