Anyone else see this? Looks like he must of tried to go around the truck at a high rate of speed and just did not make it. Another reminder to please be carefull out there.

RE: Bad crash...Please be carefull
Almost looks fake...surprised the helmet didn't shatter. Good helmet! Can anyone make out the brand? I'm shopping around for one this weekend...
And in this case - I don't think "being careful" is the right thing to say; I think "don't F off" is more like it...dude had to be FLYING in order to impale himself in a truck moving at 50 or 60+ miles an hour...
Where did you find these pictures & this story?

A family member is a truck driver that runs loads to Ok from Tx and he e-mailed me about it after hearing of the accident. He rides as well and uses these things as a reminder to ride within your limits and be safe first and foremost.

I bet he won't do that again!!!!!!!!! The way I see it is if you take the risk, be willing to accept the consequences.
There is absolutely NO REASON for running those speeds anywhere but a drag strip.
