That's scary. When I was a kid my family got in a car accident with a couple on a motorcycle (my impression was it was their "fault") and the girl's foot got all bloodied and the guy I think got raspberries all down his leg but otherwise they were okay. I guess people do walk away from these things but riding a motorcycle still seems suicidal to me.

I don't think riding a bike is inherently suicidal, but this guy was definitely riding like he wanted to die soon.

It seems suicidal because a lot ride them like they're trying to commit suicide.

Glad he wasn't hurt too badly. He was probably super embarrassed and just wanted to gtfo.

I saw one spill a few cars in front of me once. The rider hit his brakes, locked up the back wheel, went sideways, hit some gravel, high-sided the thing and totaled the poor bike. Nobody fucking stopped for him until I parked my car between him and traffic, got out, and helped him walk his busted bike off the road and made sure he was okay.

Only dropped my bike once. It was my first bike and the first time I rode it. Scraped my elbow but nbd.

After playing entirely too much GTA over the last 15 years, I can say that I will never get on a motorcycle.

I don't know, its hard to die from horrible bike crashes in games. Much harder than in real life.

I like how he landed on someone's door step. Someone thinks the UPS guy must have knocked on the door and left but then it's a body

There was an epic eath. I remember when i played GTA IV i was several hours in and hadn't yet touched a motorcycle. Then i did and at some point i get into this ridiculously high jump and at the apex i think oh shit i'm so gonna kill myself when i land so...........i have the stupid idea of letting go of the bike, like that's gonna make it much better and save me like oh if i let go of the bike everything will be ok. At least on the bike i had a chance of landing it ok. Instead i rag dolled into everything on the way down.
