chainy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 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. Al! l 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. In other words, they didn't even have time to say, "Oh, S _ _ _!

Jezz Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Waste of a perfectly good NC30 I say. Thats b#ll*cks. Theres no way a cars sill section could split like that even if the bike was doing 200mph! The rider would be off and thrown a few feet at 155, but not end up in the car.
