Re: Accident on the mountain.
You can't expect to ride through solid objects however slow they may be going.
The other rider was going way too fast for the traffic ahead of him.

Whoa... That wasn't at all what I was expecting..
The rider with the camera was damn lucky to have come out of that upright.. IMO, even with the speed of the mountain, the rider that came from behind was fully at fault.

Re: Accident on the mountain.
The rider with a camcorder was doing over 130mph as he approached the other vehicles.
He was doing just 25mph as he rode alongside the overtaking rider.
That means that the car must have been going very slowly indeed.?
IMHO it's still the fault of the bike who hit the slower rider.

Re: Accident on the mountain.
Ouch, that was not what I was expecting, Camera guy was a lucky boy to escape that one.
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: Accident on the mountain.
Made me jump as well, deffo the rocketeer's fault, mind you whilst he can't be held to blame for someone else's stupidity, the car driver must have known that was a daft place to be doing 25-30mph.
