This is a true account of the event, and what is
completely remarkable, this idiot lived through
it.  Just goes to show you, God takes care of
animals and fools.   A truck was travelling down
the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning
near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Motorcyclist was
travelling at 120 mph 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...
Guy below is stuck into back of truck -- helmet
stuck in door where head went through it.  Still
find it hard to believe this guy
lived---------------

Yes, that is what is left of the motorcycle, yes
that is a real person and yes he has no boots on
now.
This was a definite OOWIE!
The potential for accidents can be much higher as
motorcycles are harder to see and some riders are
not, how shall we say it, as careful as they
could be.

SOMETIMES IT IS BETTER TO BE LUCKY THAN GOOD,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ACCIDENT. The pick-up was
traveling from right to left when it crashed
through the guardrail.   It flipped
end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and
landed right side up on the left side of  the
culvert, facing the opposite direction from which
he was traveling. Amazing huh?
