all in the skill BoBo, been riding here for about 14 yrs, no a scratch.

^ yeah understood but no helmets probably pissed and yahooing around = dead.

Well the Vietnamese guy in the first video was wearing a helmet and lived to feel his body end at the navel and see his pelvis and legs next to him. In this case i'd say he'd have been better off without a helmet.

Not much anybody could do, can you imagine if you tried to lift him onto a gurney?

^ pick him up with a shovel.

Now that IS going to hurt in the morning.

Why is it that Thai policemen always point at dead bodies?

Notice how the BIB went straight for the wallet.

That was back in May 2009, here's the news link followed by some very emotional and angry comments, notably from the sister of one of the victims who is understandably distressed after seeing the video and venting her spleen, however - the way people always speak of the dead like they were saints has always baffled me.

I think he was checking to see if he still had a penis.
Sorry, looks like that went south with the rest of you mate.
As for the Welsh guys, well, solly you're Welsh and hence stupid.

Not at all, he would have been in shock and would have died before any pain kicked in. I don't think he would have lasted longer than twenty minutes.

thats ok then whats 20mins when your cut in half.just a flesh wound.

Interesting how traffic keeps moving, scene like that here would have the vendors setting up. Makes it look staged.
Can't believe no one really tries to assist him, stop his fumbling, cover him up hold his hand..
The loss of blood , how can he stay conscious?

I don't think it would have been much different, the traffic would not be moving though.

To be fair, what would you do? Give him a fireman's lift to the nearest morgue?

stop his fumbling

For what? To prevent him infecting his duodenum with his dirty fingers?

cover him up

Would you want to be covered up? I think loss of face or embarrassment would be far from his mind.

hold his hand..

This is more like it, though he might not want his hand held. You could talk to him I suppose, depending on what you'd say. Personally I can't speak Nam but i'd probably tell him to relax, maybe ask him if he could feel any pain.

The loss of blood , how can he stay conscious?

No idea, the body is fascinating. His heart would still have been pumping. He would probably have felt rather dizzy before slipping away. Poor sod.

Only one bike accident here and a few cracked and broken bones in my left hand and wrist.

I was coming up to a T-Intersection to turn left and this idiot young girl cut across right in front of me from my left (trying to beat the on-coming traffic whilst she was trying to turn right) into my soi, next minute she is right in front of me, I drop the bike and step off it so as not to hit her full on and hurtle straight into a telegraph pole with my left hand. CRaacckkk.

The problem about driving bikes here is the people around you, both idiot Thais and Farang and you can be the best bike rider on this planet but can't always dodge the fools.

And soi dogs,,,,,,,,,,,kill and hurt my motor bike riders then you can imagine.

Sadly, its the other idiots you have to worry about. A friend was stationary at traffic lights when a pickup ploughed into him from behind doing about 30 mph.
Luckily he was in a car and only had a bit of whiplash ( plus fooked car ). On a bike he would have been poleaxed.

Feel baffled no more.

de mortuis nil nisi bonum

The Latin phrase de mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est is usually shortened to de mortuis nil nisi bonum or sometimes just nil nisi bonum. It is variously translated as "No one can speak ill of the dead," "Of the dead, speak no evil," or, more literally, "Let nothing be said of the dead but what is good."

This expression is used in modern parlance with two nearly contradictory significances. In legal contexts, it refers to the principle of British, American, and other legal systems that defaming a deceased person is not actionable. In colloquial contexts, it indicates that it is socially inappropriate to say anything negative about a (recently) deceased person.

The first recorded use of the phrase is by Diogenes Laertius in The Lives and Opinions of the Eminent Philosophers, where he attributes it to Chilon.

Another appearance in literature comes from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s "Player Piano." Vonnegut uses the term in reference to a person who is being excluded from the group in power, rather than a deceased person.

A cinematic use appears early in the film, Lawrence of Arabia, during T. E. Lawrence's funeral scene. Two characters are looking at a bust of Lawrence and one, a clergyman, says, "Well, nil nisi bonum, but does he really deserve a place in here?" referring to St. Paul's Cathedral where the scene takes place.

Surprising, that guy is still alive. I saw an article about him some time ago.

Man Cut in Half Lives to Walk Again

With all surviving odds against him, Peng Shulin’s body was cut in half by a large transport truck in 1995, leaving his doctors shocked and amazed by his survival. Not only is it a miracle that he has lived to tell the tale, he’s now learning to walk again.



Peng Shulin, wearing new trainers, learning to walk again

It took a team of more than 20 doctors working feverishly to save his life.

Skin was grafted from his head to close his torso up, but his lower body could not be saved — leaving him to ‘stand’ a full 2 feet 6 inches (78 centimeters) in height.

After being bedridden for years, doctors in China didn’t have very much hope that he would ever be able to lead any form of a normal life again, reports Metro.




The bionic legs mimic the way Peng’s limbs would have worked

Peng began exercising his arms and building his strength up to carry out daily routine chores, empowering him to do things such as washing his face and brushing his teeth.

When doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Peng’s quandary, they teamed together to devise a program to get him walking once more.

They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own merit by creating a sophisticated ‘egg cup-like’ casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.

With the aid of his uniquely adapted legs and resized walking frame, Peng has been taking his first steps around the centre.

Peng is thrilled with his device, and the opportunity it affords him to learn to walk again.

^^He looks like Mr Potato Head.

Looks like he just walked it off..

Well according to the stories an ambulance did pick him up and he died on the way to hospital 20 minutes later.

How would they begin to patch him up?

Does he unscrew the bottom half for a dump?
