Started that post before lunch and finished when I got back. Saw it was already mentioned on the second page so I just deleted it.

....ground impact of 140mph???

yeah the only way for that to happen is if he was traveling 70mph and the ground was traveling 70 mph at him

...or he was going a buck forty racing a cager....

He may have slid down the road at >100 Mph.. but he didn't hit anything at 140 MPH... Don't care what you are wearing, you hit a solid object at 140, you won't be interviewed the next day on the local news..

Well, I don't know if he was traveling at 140 or not but he traveled 100yards? Even if he was "only" traveling at 100mph he's still an idiot! If we keep up with all the safety gear how the heck is Darwinism supposed to rid the world of idiots!!!?

Good point. I always thought that "natural selection" was the reason for the turtle shell helmets.
