Someone was claiming that Arai had it on their website and claimed the guy lived. I don't think it was an Arai helmet nor do I remember even seeing a DOT sticker on the back.
I saw it on a Paramedics forum that I stumbled across which was the original forum. The guy died. He hit the truck at an estimated 120mph. Truck may have been rolling 70mph but the truck driver said he thought he got hit by another truck. I'm sure his organs where all over his body and the only thing that kept his guts from spilling out was that Icon jacket. No way someone could have survived that crash even if his helmet was lined with Satin Pillows. The G's from stopping would have been too much.
Also the truck drugged him for about a 1/4 mile. His flatbilled hat on his seat strap came out just fine though.
Oh yeah. Another friend of mine is a Paramedic and currently a Lifeflight Paramedic. He sees bike crashes all the time. He still rides though and use to race motorcycles years ago. |
