Maybe the brakes failed. Both of them.

 

The video is in the very first post

 

unlikely, he didn't even try to apply them. Maybe they were drunk

 

Dumb *** disease all round in that goat rodeo.

 

Bless their hearts. They look like they're 90 years old. Time for them to switch to a trike.

 

I've seen some dumb asses over the years, but that deal from the incident to what he does after it. There is so much wrong being done, how can anyone, at that age, be that stupid.
Grandma's carbon fiber bermuda shorts are a nice safety touch. I think the son was taking Ma or Grandma for her first and last ride.

 

Judging by her lack of ATGATT, that clusterfu(k happened before the ride started.

 

Yeah he started to lose balance a little and was leaning a bit to the right coming to a stop. The passenger freaked and started to dismount fearing they were going over. Guy then for some stupid reason starts revving the engine, oblivious to what's going on behind him and takes off. For sure errors made by rider and passenger. But if the dude would just have stayed stopped after his passenger freaked out would not have happened. The loose seat pad that she was sitting looks to have contributed also.

 

She should have dropped that imbecile long ago.

 

Man, that video was hard to watch!

Most people who have no medical training or even life experiences tend to panic at accident scenes and everyone wants to "rush in" and help the victims and sometimes that can prove to make the situation even worse.

The main thing that everyone at an accident scene must first do is to call 9-1-1 and then make sure that they do not put themselves in danger when they are attempting to give aid to someone else.

In this accident, the posted speed limit was 35 MPH which diminishes the risk of anyone being the victim of "secondary" hits by vehicles that are unable to stop or avoid the victim or those trying to render aid to her.

Last summer I just happened to be the first (and only) person to actually witness to an accident where a person pushing his bicycle across a busy street get hit by a car approaching from his RH side.
Thankfully, the bike and person was lifter onto the hood of the vehicle and when the driver reacted by hitting his brakes, the bike and the person was thrown off of the car and down the street and the driver managed to get his vehicle stopped in time to avoid hitting the person again.

I was at this guy's side within seconds and it was obvious that he had his "bell rung" and like many accident victims, he wanted to get up to demonstrate that he was OK. It's hard to convince some folks (especially young males) that it's in their best interest to remain still until emergency services arrive but once my wife and a few other folks got to us he had calmed down a bit
No visible injuries and I knew he was probably OK when he looked at the driver of the car and said "Dude, the speed limit"!

The bad news for him (I assume) was that I had to tell the cops that it was he, not the driver of the car who was at fault and the driver of he car was not speeding.
