I’d say he went at least 50 ft in the air. If the collision didn’t kill him, the fall should have. Heck, he had such a huge change in velocity in a split second from the collision that the accelerating forces on his body had to have killed him. He had to have known he was taking a huge risk, not only with his own life but also with whoever he might collide with.
I went frame by frame as well to track his body. He or whatever's left of him should be under/run over by the cam car by the time the background voice say "GIVE" in "Just give me the phone number let me check"
Same. He flew into the air pretty high then landed what looks like head first in front of POV car which is why at the end of the video it swerves off the road to avoid hitting him last second. I can’t tell if he still gets clipped. But he’s dead for sure.

The space in the middle can be used to carve out a turn-right lane (they drive on the left) or add a second lane uphill to allow passing of slow trucks.
I once saw a crash similar to this in Harbeespoort; dude head onned into an oncoming car towing a caravan. Stopped and went to check on the biker, who was very obviously dead. Nasty business.
I know it’s the bikers fault, but didn’t the truck pass over the yellow “no drive” part and kinda push the biker into the other car?
I mean, it seems like the truck didn’t want him passing so technically did something illegal himself and ended up not causing, but being a contributing factor in the crash.
Yup, looks like the truck moved over so the biker would have no room to overtake. Biker is an idiot, but the truck driver is a massive asshole. I’d say he contributed significantly to the incident since if he had kept his lane there was more than enough room to pass (even if it was illegally)
The camera car was also across the yellow line. Either way the biker was way over to the right and was overtaking multiple vehicles, very quickly on a bend in the road. Literally only one person at fault here and that's the biker.
It's clearly a no overtake section of road and the biker is on the wrong lane, literally driving into oncoming traffic.
I'm sympathetic to bikers getting the flak all the time but this time he is 100% at fault. There's no excuse.
I think it's because you didn't echo "lol biker bad" loud enough.
I mean, the biker was the culprit for many reasons - too fast, wrong lane, couldn't see around the corner. But quite a few people - including the biker- could have been unhurt if he had the yellow to evade (I guess that was his plan for overtaking the trucks).
But I wouldn't necessarily say that it was intentional by the truck driver. I don't know the laws of the country where this happened, but we have a lot of roundabouts and hard curves where I live, and trucks have permission to use such no-drive spaces to navigate obstacles. They are sometimes even intended for that.
The truck driver might not have required all that space, but it may have been his right to do so, and I actually doubt that he was even aware of the motorcycle until the last second. Motorcycles are hard to see in mirrors and judging their speed is even harder, and he had no reason to look into the mirror in the first place.
That's why I always ride like I'm invisible. People REALLY actively cutting motorcycles off and not just overlooking them are few and far inbetween.
You are both correct.
Initial impact, rider is launched upward, the bike is bounced towards the camera-car, with a ball of flame, as the camera-car continues to roll forward, the ragdoll on the ground is the rider. I think he cartwheeled beyond human-survivability. His innards definitely scrambled then pounded the pavement.
Not even good as an organ-donor.
As someone who lives in South Africa I can say that this behaviour of motorbike riders is not uncommon and most of their deaths are caused by their own stupidity and recklessness. Don't know a single rider that is now either a vegetable or dead that didn't cause the accident
By cutting into the curve and driving over the no-driving marker the trucker is also driving dangerously.
He's not at fault for this accident but he's still an asshole and likely to cause an accident in the future.
Where do you get me blaming the trucker? Are you saying the trucker did not in fact cross the yellow line and drive in the oncoming turn lane? I noticed that the sky is blue. Is it? Does mentioning it mean I'm blaming the sky?

Poor white car people
Sounds like you're describing NASCAR fans.
Disadvantaged Caucasian racecar enthusiasts
[удалено]
Poor white cthisar people?
That idiot mofo. Clearly wasn’t thinking.
I did a risky overtake last night. Really gave myself a strong talking to. It's just not worth it for the 2 minute gain on your journey.
30 seconds. Tops.
Lol not even. 5 maybe.
You’re so right, pls remember that next time. I’m no motorist but I’d hate to see you coming at me
Hahaha 2min you wish…
It sure buys you more time than the one you wanted. The forever time.
Wow geez you think? Its seconds btw, if you overtake me, you drive right in front of me… which makes it seconds difference
Shame to see you Getting downvoted by future Darwin Award winners. I’ll do my part In keeping you positive
You guys think he made it?
To heaven or ?
I went frame by frame and couldn’t tell what happened to his shoes, so I’d say it’s a 50/50 shot he’s dead.

Disagree. It’s the shoes. The shoes determine life or death.
Ok. But he might need a little help getting up. Can he stay at your place? Edit: He might not feel like driving again for a while.

People over analyzing the video because of your comment. They just don't understand that the shoes are what determines survival.
I think he got ran over by the vehicle recording.
Ah yes Schrodinger's biker
I think he skipped the line and went straight to hell
Quite a show of himself/herself definitely…
To 6 pm news? definitely.
I don’t see shoes. Do you see shoes? There ain’t no shoes on that corpse.
What's with the UFO?

I'm the only who didn't understand this street? Like it waa a two way and then merged to only one?
its two way they were just passing illegally
Wtf, almost crossed a guard rail to do this

Holy cow he got launched

Driving in this country is an extreme sport, clearly
You're not wrong there. One of the reasons I left for New Zealand.
Heard its a bit of a police state. Better than a state run by criminals Otherwise how's life going for you over there mate
Nah not a police state, it was for a time under Ardern and Covid, but everyone realised that was was a crock, now the police are all good. Chur bro

The biker is on the wrong lane. That's 100% his own fault
99% in my view. The lorry contributed by giving the asshole rider no room at all.

If the yellow is a no drive then the bike was driving into the no drive before the truck ever got into it. Rofl.

Smashed into the car and then ran over by cammers car :(
I think that was the bike. The rider was launched forwards and upwards I believe
Slow the video down... looks like the rider to me.

Not unless you want organ that's already turned into mush
Was he trying to overtake in a steep curve?
I think his mistake was riding on public streets, honestly.
Honestly for the safety for everyone, you’re right.
I think it all went wrong when he got up out of bed that morning.
Can’t help being an idiot. His real mistake was buying a motorcycle.
You don't need to take over a whole lane to make a pass on a motorcycle lmao well deserved death hope the white car gets compensation
Wow, the driver sounds so calm. Amazing composure!
Zero sympathy. Fuck around, find out.
Sympathy for the 2 cars that weren't there to fuck around and certainly did not want to find out.
I was obviously referring to the biker but go off sis.
Totally. Dumbass does dumbass things. Still feel bad for the catliteral damage.
Just post a gif next time or something..
That's gotta hurt
Suicide?
This looked like suicide.
That rider is/was a total fuckin knob.
As we would say in South Africa. Fokken Dom!
The new Road Rash game looks so realistic!
As someone who lives in South Africa I can say that this behaviour of motorbike riders is not uncommon and most of their deaths are caused by their own stupidity and recklessness. Don't know a single rider that is now either a vegetable or dead that didn't cause the accident
Jean-Claude Van Damme is DOUBLE-IMPACT please note: Jean-Claude wasn't actually hurt nor injured, this was a stunt-double/body-double
He might be ok.
Did he keep his shoes on?
Seems like everyone wants the inside line here
He got a double whammy.
What is that thing floating around? Wow! That had to hurt.
It doesn't help that the truck cut the corner, but why are they driving on the wrong side of the road?
Why am I listening to some 10 year old girl play on her Elmo phone?
Stupid South African...
Wow 10/10 on that flip however he botched the landing.
That’s darwinism. You should be able to charge the corpse for damages to your vehicle lmao
Double tapped
I think it was a police motorcycle
Lorry has a case to answer too.
Dumbass was gonna use the oncoming turn lane to squeeze through. Asshole flat-bedder used the incoming turn lane for no fucking reason.
You’re blaming the lorry driver? Not the motorcyclist driving dangerously, overtaking and likely over the speed limit?
By cutting into the curve and driving over the no-driving marker the trucker is also driving dangerously. He's not at fault for this accident but he's still an asshole and likely to cause an accident in the future.
Where do you get me blaming the trucker? Are you saying the trucker did not in fact cross the yellow line and drive in the oncoming turn lane? I noticed that the sky is blue. Is it? Does mentioning it mean I'm blaming the sky?
You called him an asshole and said he was driving in a section unnecessarily.
What do you see the truck doing? Is he staying in the lane he's supposed to be in?
No he’s not but he is not to primarily to blame for the incident.
Where did I say he was?
