Default alcohol is an amazing confidence booster

This video is about 6 months old now, I think, but today I saw it for the first time.

If you don't want to watch it, it's shows a guy hitting a MASSIVE (looks to be fmx) jump/metal ramp on his scrambler. He also overjumped.....= painful (unless he died on impact) crash

Is it just my bad eyesight or is he jumping without even a helmet?

I doubt he's still alive. Who knows what other stupid stuff he did.


Ya, he definitely wasnt wearing a helmet. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it the first time. I just knew that it was going to end in a very funny painful way.

He really impacted the handlebars hard with his chest. He likely broke some of his ribs and his sternum. Of course with broken ribs and that kind of impact against a hard object like handlebars you're also looking at collapsed lungs and lacerations or other damage to the heart. Not to mention the fact that he wasn't wearing a helmet. OK I suppose it's one thing to not wear a helmet when you're riding down to get the mail or even mild riding in the woods at slow speed but to not wear a helmet or any sort of protective gear when attempting extremely dangerous stunts is just stupid.

I'd love to know what his injuries were. If he wasn't severely injured I'd be surprised.

Having misjudged a jump on the wife's trail blazer (and you thought he was crazy for using a scrammy), when you're chest hits the bars, your chin takes a nice shot off the nose of the quad. Surprised I didn't break my jaw. Did get a nice 3/4" gash on the bottom of my chin, and my tongue had molar prints in it.

Of course, it had a front rack on it when I did that.

Which I took off the next week. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
