Head on collision with Fire truck

[BusaBob]

Well I had a very experienced rider die in front of me in a similar style. On a 2 way marked road on a 10 mph turn hitting a car. This guy's lucky to be alive.

on the hellbender 28 at deals gap??

That's something I hope I never witness and mostly why I prefer riding on my own.

Can't remember the exact location, but yeah, down at the Gap. I was one of 3 applying CPR. We couldn't let ourselves stop till the EMTs got there, even though we knew.

Thinking more about it, wonder if the fact that the fire truck basically had a flat front instead of a "sharper" profile contributed to his survival?

I think he was going to fast as well.

Yeah, but not so much afterwards.

 

[FitzR6]

wow what a lucky guy

 

[Matt Rain]

That did not look survivable.

 

[Blackfin]

No, it didn't. "Lucky" to be alive. That was wince-inducing to watch.

Oh F*UCK!

Doesn't sit well with me after reading this. Hope that wasn't too traumatizing.

But yea this rider is incredibly lucky...great target fixation and freezing up example though.
