I want to know why it seems like guys who just go out in shorts and no helmet can just get up and walk away while guys who wear protective gear always get hurt or killed.

It seems like I see stuff like this all the time.

hmmmmmm

being T boned on ya bike at any speed would be the one of the most deadly accidents you could have on the road.... 2nd only to being hit head on I would have thought.....and even being hit head on, ya could get lucky and go straight over the car with only major injuries :)

we're also used to huge cars with a grill the size of your house and that way a ton to top it all off. that car is very low to the ground with a small hood to cover its small engine. im not suprised the guy went the way he did.

if the car were going faster it probably would have punted him in the other direction, but its too light to send the guy flying, and it braked hard before hitting him and slowed down real fast
