Unhappy [gif] too much front brake and leaves cycle before impact

I don't think this ended well for the motorcyclist



I hope the bike somehow missed him.

I have no info on this, I found it on another forum.

I don't know what but, something doesn't look right about that. I need a way to slow it down. The physics don't seem correct. I may be wrong but, it wouldn't be the first time!

Thats just a crazy gif. The car wouldn't of been even able to make that turn if the bike didn't hit them. Impressive flipping of the bike.

This. I'm not sure how the bike did a complete flip...

BS clip. I don't see how the bike would launch off the ground, 2 feet high. Flip, sure, but not launch. What forum was this?

No explanation, just the gif.


As far as the cycle, could his weight moving forward and then down, alter the center of gravity enough to get that (very bad) result? You do have the front end compressing too.

Oh boy, here we go.

But would it launch if it were on a treadmill?
