Bampson 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 . 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 (155mph) 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. All 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 takenAt the scene Link to post Share on other sites

pete8tch 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 yeah right ! they left the bodies in it did they or just cleverly replaced the bike after they removed 3 dead people and cleaned out the bits and washed the blood out of the passenger seat.the rider would have gone right over the car looking at where the bike is wedged surely and if he didnt a body going through that gap would be a tad messier i think. 155 on a 400 is a bit optimistic as well think its a anti bike thing the frame on the bike isnt bent Link to post Share on other sites
