He got what he deserved.
Do not look if it will upset you, there is no blood and guts, its a helmet cam view of a head on collision. Berek is in no way responsible for your action that may make you suffer sleepless nights and anxiety from viewing.

Great advert for the camcorder. My Sony broke when dropped 2 feet onto carpet. evil:
Why did it say "Total Slag" on the back of the firemans jacket at the end of the clip, was he a rookie?

Indeed... the camera biker only just missed one coming the other way before hitting the second. His big mistake as far as I can see was the overtaking manoeuvre. noooo:
The camera was mounted quite low down looking through the screen so i suppose it could have been on his helmet. whistle:

To analyze it, the near-miss with the first rider caused him to adjust his track through the curve and he was riding at a speed in excess of his ability to react to the change and correct it so was technically out of control at the point of impact.
This 'fatal' viewpoint is actually intriguing because it is a perspective seldom seen and therefore scarcely analysed.
It reinforces my long held belief that it is not speed that kills per se but rather people exceeding or overestimating their abilities after all the first rider managed it, so it certainly was not down to the speed alone.
Enforcement of speed limits is therefore useless because the wrong element of danger is being controlled and underskilled people read in the wrong reasons for their speed capping. It is them that need controlling and educating not everyone else that understands their own limitations.
Had he been properly tested and assessed for the speeds he thought he could handle, it would probably never have happened.
