This has to be one of the most sobering videos that I have ever seen. They should show it to everyone who gets a liscense, cage or otherwise:

Very good video. I'm not sure why the makers chose to include racing crash footage at all in that type of video. It's an altogether different message being conveyed with race video. Still, not bad.

oh .

I'm never going to hear that song the same way again. What a sobering reminder of what to avoid.

I have a rock climbing sticker: "climbing is inherently dangerous, stack the odds in your favor"

I hope that video reminds me to cool my heels a bit sometimes and live to ride another day.

be safe.

yeah, good flick, but most of it was race footage, which has little to do with real street riding.

I have seen a lot of people on the street that seem to think that they are riding race machines.

The guy who narrowly missed the car pulling out in front of him probably had to throw that set of undies away. Nice video, love the song.

Think I'll compile a bunch of NASCAR crashes and mix them with pictures of x-rays and broken glass, news clippings of deaths in cages and put them all to music to show the dangers of automobile driving.

Wow, was that some of Michael Moore's early work?

Seriously, compile some race footage, add horrific sound effects including blood-curdling screams, mix in some random X-rays and medical photos, the occasional cross/crucifix or graveyard and you've got Farenheit 9/11 without the politics. Also, what's with the guy screaming with two people holding his legs? He's obviously indoors somewhere lying on the floor with no pants on. How is that motorcycle related?

Granted, it's a neat video. But it was clearly created to instill fear.

It's a cool video, and I think dead is dead and broken is broken whether it happens on the street or the track. Also if you will notice in the obits they use, most all of the riders were helmetless.
