@@jammay22 Oh god....

@@jammay22 ouch

Working as a paramedic must be tough, most people wouldn't handle it

As a paramedic, what do you think about the fact that those guys are doing their tests on a public road? Absolutely reckless. This channel is on my "don't recommend channel" list from now on.

@@mantelmann13 it is a public road, but it was empty and they made sure to clean up

@@mantelmann13 you must be a blast at parties

@@no_lft_shft You must be a blast at intelligence tests.

Please help get the word out

@@ChrisRollins you got it!

@@ChrisRollins Aye aye!

Here before someone doesn't get the joke

With who?

ohh theres the usual sunday decapitated head!

Like "who tf got ran off?"

“What the fuck did just happen here”

I'll now always wear helmet, even when sitting in car.

@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat me too. when sitting on toilet either

You mean the buddies at the morgue? Because that’s where you’ll go!

@@BisexualPlagueDoctor hate it but yeah...

Hey Ken, surprised seeing you here 👍

Why are there so many dad jokes here 😂

@@BisexualPlagueDoctor what park of Texas you from??

I agree, but its happened to my channel multiple times. The bigger curse is age restriction (also happens to me). Which means 95% of people cant even find it 🤦🏼‍♂️

@@ChrisRollins RU-vid has to get their stuff together. This video may actually save someone's life someday.

Having full face removal is pretty common in no-helmet rider accidents.

full face helmet, spine protector, leather, hard padding, basically give your body the best chance possible to survive should something go wrong, if nothing goes wrong nothing lost, if something does go wrong, atleast you know you did everything you could. better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

Thank God.

What speed if I may ask? I have a hard time seeing a 1 month full recovery at 60MPH even with a helmet, though in fairness me not being able to imagine it certainly doesn't mean it's impossible.

@@101jir if you invest in full gear, you can survive a 200mph accident as long as you don't hit a solid object these days. My buddy wrecked on the track going 150mph and skidded safely and walked away. Granted his track pants that had armor were completely destroyed due to the friction burns but it was $1k well spent. The same goes for jackets that have that head support armor. Yeah it makes you look like a hunchback but that literally saves hundreds of lives per year.

and i think with a body the head cant rolll and bounce like that so there wouldnt be as many repated impatcts

Exactly what I was thinking- it demonstrates the need for a helmet but it isn’t a very accurate test for that reason- the body would absorb some/most of the shock and also prevent as much spinning and repeated impacts

exactly, the theoretical rider also wouldnt slide/bounce as far as the head did, since there would be so much more friction against the road

It would be good but at the same time no, because the sandbag would take way more hit whitout breaking than the human body. And knowing how dumb people is, is better that we see bigger damages than what it should be than smaller damages than what it should be

very true. saw that right away.

At shoulder impact, I bet the neck really gets torqued!

Whew... that makes me feel a lot better... Haddent thought about that part... Think I'll still keep it under 150 at least.. but this f****** bike is so fast.. ZX-14 0 to 100 in like 2 seconds.. Ill just be riding along and I look down and I'm doing like 140 and it feels like I'm going like 60

That's the first thing that came to mind, it's not accurate without a body

Also snap your neck too

I tough the same, but I imagine that buying the whole body must be extremely expensive

If you have a cheap head, but a cheap helmet.

@@ChrisRollins Exactly

Never cheap out on safety. Id be willing spend like $200 on a good helmet

@@TheCaptainSplatter I paid like 350 for my icon airflite with mips and I still want the agv but it's like 1300🤯

I work in a motorcycle shop and we have $30 helmets that I’d say are kinda useless. The dudes that come in for bike repairs have told me they had $200 helmets and show me how fucked the helmet is, but they’re still mostly ok. The $30 helmet guys never come back. Hopefully not for reasons I think.

Snell approved has saved my arse many times.

I’m thinking y’all should probably not ride if you guys are getting in that many accidents

@@coleyolley5911 I used to race MX, so there was that...

You should probably take a riding safety course or stop riding. lol

@@chizorama Ahhhh well then nvm that your just a crazy beoch lol

This type of tests are much more important than gun tests too!

Mythbusters should get credit for first using human analogs like these. RU-vid just allows the graphics.

Well hopefully they won’t be impacted… 😂😂😂😂

It's not a pleasant sight. I witnessed a fatal ejection car crash on i94 in Michigan back in 2019, and the person was crushed into a crumpled exploded mess, much like deer roadkill. They were in a white charger and rear ended a Tahoe at 140+ mph according to the Detroit news articles reporting on the police stuff. Idiot should have worn his seat belt at 140+ mph in a drag race on public highways though, so I guess the surviving passengers got a real hard lesson. It still haunts me sometimes when I see chargers go flying by on the highway, and I just hope me and my family aren't going to be the next victim of stupidity.

@@HeyItsJonny damn, im sorry you had to see that

I saw the aftermath of an incident of a bike and a bus, the bus passed over the biker’s leg, and there was a blood line on the street with pieces of flesh like you see in GTA

@@nicola.innocenti that's fucking brutal

I wear helmets when even riding bicycles. Not just because it's legally required in Australia. But because it only takes one small impact for permanent life changing brain injuries or death to happen. Yeah, one didn't save me last week when I went over the bars on a path (grazed my arm pretty bad), but it's better to be safe than sorry. You can more often than not walk away from a graze with little more than pain and some blood. Same can't be said for a brain injury.

me too! that was almost the title

👌🏻

Yeah, you would get much more "sliding" and body roll and less "ball bouncing down the street" physics. I also don't think the strap would have failed on the first helmet since that point of impact wouldn't be possible. Though I do agree that i wouldn't put as much trust in that strapping system in general. Still a good reminder as to why you should wear your helmet though as all it would take is that first impact to do you in.

This was my thought exactly. The test isn't remotely valid as the gforces on just that head make it spin much more causing much more damage than if it was attached to a body which wouldn't allow that same level of spin down the road. It's a known fact that helmets are only like 30% effective. And statisically speaking there are more deaths by people wearing helmets than not. That's not advocating for not wearing one as at a lower speed crash it will definitely save your life. At 60mph, getting tboned by a car? Yeah, wear all the stuff you want, you aren't making it out of that. 35-45% of motocycle crashes are THIS type of crash. Your odds are NOT good in that type of crash regardless of safety gear if you are at highway speeds. The type of damage seen in this video is something you'd never experience on a motorcycle. The more accurate test would have been to launch that head at the pavement or a wall at 60mph. I think you'll find the results are fatal pretty much 100%. Some foam and plastic ain't gonna save ya. The neck breaking alone.....

Maybe stop the motorcycling?

I've ridden for 58 years, 250,000 miles and only had one accident. Not a scratch. Ride the damn bike correctly.

@@bottmar1 sounds like you ride an adventure bike, grandpa 👴

@@misaelcastaneda3226 no he’s just right man, you shouldn’t be crashing that much. Maybe once after that you need to probably stop

God I hate it when that happens

It even happened yesterday thank God i survived

🤘🏻full face everyday for me

Thanks so much!

I do support helmets, but i've always found seatbelt and helmet laws to be awful. People will actively defy the law even if they value themselves, but if you leave it up to them alone they usually make the correct choice. No need to run a nanny state if you know what i mean. Besides, it is their life and thus their choice on what risks they take. If they can choose to ride (which is already a exponentially more dangerous activity than driving) then they can choose a helmet or not.

@@oceanbytez847 Although imagine being an innocent bystander and seeing that stuff. Like somebody's head being ground down into red paste. Or seeing somebody get flung through the windshield, into a wall, or through another windshield. I imagine that sort of stuff would scar most people for life. Sometimes free choice can affect randoms too. I'm all for it, but there are certain things that need to be enforced for the sake of everyone and not just the individual.

Wow!

Thanks! Thats a great idea

🤷🏼‍♂Thanks man

Well you are very generous! Thank you for the kind words!

Maybe i am! 😉

Thank YOU

I am! Haha thanks for subbing! I hope you like it
