OUCH x 1020  Some of those drivers didn't survive.  How about the flaming wreck!!   :eek

Seatbelts!?  Nah.  Roll cages- not yet thought necessary.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

After seeing some of their spills, I thought a lot would be out for the count, but they seemed ok enough to get up and run like hell outta the way.
This is way off track, but after noticing a few of them shake their heads then walk away, reminded me of a bloke just out from Holland back about 40 years ago who went ferreting for rabbits - after he'd bagged about 30 he took them home and proceeded to pull them out one by one, wring their necks and toss them onto a heap over his shoulder.
Trouble was he didn't wring 'em far enough and, like the car drivers, they shook their heads and took off :crackup
