Got these in an email.
Either this guy is real lucky or unlucky, should go buy himself several Lotto tickets.

A truck was traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa , Oklahoma .

Motorcyclist was traveling at ~120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck.

Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

This is what he found...

And here I was thinking that this has to be one of the luckiest people on earth, poor bugger.

If you don't believe Ben and Blknight look for yourself how elongated the neck is, it's broken and the rider is almost decapitated. In the unlikely event that has did survive he'd be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Obviously he would be wearing riding boots, look at the other clothes he was in full PPE for riding a bike. I doubt he would not have had the right boots, they may have been pulled off during the emergency braking procedues.

Either way he's a knobstick, i have no simpathy for dickheads like him.

One thing i found strange, why did it take the truck driver a 1/4 of a mile too stop, the truck doesn't look that big.

Perhaps the driver thought he was all White.
<Sorry, couldn't resist.>

According to the reports, the truck driver wasn't immediately aware of the collision. He heard a noise, he saw debris.

I can easily imagine him covering 400m wondering WTF happened and then bringing his truck to a safe stop to investigate.


Oh, here's where I found out the who/what/where:

I cant understand why some lowlife would put this sort of thing on the internet in the US, could you imagine if it was your son and you came across this on the internet, a dickhead he may have been, but spare a thought for his family, Regards Frank.
