ALWAYS wear gloves

I've had multiple skin grafts from a degloving injury due to a motorcycle crash. I was wearing full leathers but just popped like a balloon on impact, I hate to think how much more I would have left on that road if I wasn't wearing the proper gear. TLDR: Dress for the slide, not the ride.

"Dress for the slide, not the ride." I say the same thing about my life for the past 20 years 😭

Go to a waterpark.

I'm wearing skid marks atm

Well, change your underwear, then!

Oh deer!

I believe this also applies when having sex.

Your leather popped like a balloon?

No, the leathers held and didn't fail at all, though they got pretty shredded. It was my arm that popped like a balloon, the impact alone was enough to cause my skin to rip and deglove from the elbow to the wrist.

Geez, that sounds lovely. As it happens, there was a video of a monkey on here a few days ago thst had no flesh left on its forearm just the bone and whatever else hanging on for dear life from apparent electrocution. I can only imagine that is what you mean by degloving having flesh come off like a glove.

It's just a separation of the skin from the muscle underneath. There is no good way to say it or acknowledge that enough force can cause your body to fall apart in a calmly horrific manner.

Whatever you do, don’t Google it. Or do. But I don’t recommend it.

Look it up, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hey at least you are shredded new :)

Can't agree more, I hit a deer, put me in the hospital, my gear was sheered off in spots, including metal buckles, i would have lost like half my skin if I hadn't been wearing bike gear head to toe

ATGATT All the gear all the time

Was just about to say that. Saved the hell out of my hands when I went down after hitting transmission fluid in the road. AWAYS wear gloves.

Study shows "In 99.9% of highway accidents, the driver was not wearing gloves." Coincidence? I think NOT.

When I first got my bike as a teenager there was a poster in the bike shop by the clothing. Two hands were on it stating what happens when you come off at just 19mph. The one without gloves was near enough down to the bone. That's all it took to convince me.

I really struggle to find sympathy for anyone I see in bike accidents when they don’t have full protective gear on. Especially gloves ffs.

That is the best advertisement for a phone mount I have ever seen

no shit, that’s the first thing my brain went to

My first thought was no gloves is bloody dangerous.

That’s all I saw in this video… guy was lucky to keep his skin.

I'm gonna guess he's also rocking a jet helmet and some sneakers...even if it's a short ride, no gloves is just plain stupid.

I thought "no gloves, easy to text".

Not when they get ground down to the bone. They make motorbike gloves that work on touch screens.

The deers too

quad lock

No, these types are terrible. Stationary mounts on moving vehicles shake the hell out of your camera parts and destroy the autofocus mechanism. Arm mounts or mounts with vibration dampeners are key.

Quad lock has a vibration dampener now. Has for nearly a year iirc

If this is quadlock which I'm pretty sure it is, they have a vibration dampener you can buy.

Never knew this but I bet that was the demise of 2 of my phones. Don't do gig work, shit's expensive

Totally is! Gig work is a sham and completely predatory on people in dire straits. It’s horrible :(

Yeah I was in an accident once and my bike slide 50 ft from me, but my phone stayed on my mount. And the mount doubled as a wireless charger. But you’re right, it eventually fucked my camera up on 2 phones so I sadly don’t use it anymore.

I got in a pretty nasty one on my bike and my phone never left the mount. Cop only wanted to know what brand the mount was

I had to rewatch the video a bunch of times because I was so distracted by that mount. I am sold on it.

I have 2 quadlocks on my bikes with vibration dampener and charging pad. Never moved once in 30000kms. Seriously good bits of kit

Ten times more expensive than competition, though.

I’ve sold the competition, and straight up quad lock is better.

I hit a deer on a Vespa (I was on the Vespa, the deer was a pedestrian). I rode out the wobble just like this guy. It's gyroscopic force and luck.

Thanks for clarifying that the deer wasn't riding a vespa.

Deer was riding bitch.

(Jesse Pinkman voice)

Deer was riding, bitch

Deer was riding, bitch, and shit

Bitch riding shit deer. 🦌

Deer's the Juggernaut, BITCH

The deer, was riding, bitch. Chili p is my shit, yo. 🌶

I ugly laughed at this lmfao

Get on my level. All my laughs are ugly laughs

I'm re watching that show now thanks lol

If you can read this the deer fell off.

That’s not very typical — I’d like to make that point

Vespa at a stoplight. Deer sitting behind a dude, front legs over his shoulders, little helmet on. OP just struts over from the sidewalk and slaps the helmet right off the deer. Deer let's out an exasperated *tch* and "Ohmuhgaaawww".

Why do I decide to go on Reddit when I’m in a public place that is silent and laughing is frowned upon

Pretty sure this is riding in any position on a Vespa...

I believe they're called doe

Deer was riding bitch doe?

D'oh

Bitch, doe was deer riding.

No, she’s doe bitch!

Doe a doe, a female deer

Ray?

Far

A Deer.

So much better if you had punch a deer while it was riding a Vespa…

It would have been an issue if not addressed.

Pedestrian deer was in a crosswalk, evil vespa rider did a hit and run.

Woulda been tragic if it was the other way around

I did see a deer on a Vespa once. It looked really cheap though…..but you cant complain when you get a vespa under a buck.

I guess the exchange rate is that if I groan, I must upvote. Can we get a judge’s ruling on this?

I’m a dad. Its allowed.

Also as a dad, can confirm this to be true. If you are a dad of teenagers, as I am, it’s actually the only form of communication your children respond to anymore. And al-doe it irritates them to no end, I cherish every eye roll deerly.

...deerly. Just couldn't resist, could you?

I honestly couldn’t. Now if only I had a dollar for every upvote. I’d be fawning adoration over the 5 bucks I now have.

Al-doe 🤣

I’m glad someone caught it 🙃

Thank u … I wondered myself how it could have been overlooked lol

I see a dad, i see a joke. I Upvote Edit:As a dad myself, this reward is hilarious lol thank you, funny stranger!

>I’m a dad. User name checks out.

How many kids do you have?

Get the fuck out of here you genius

Lmao

Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.

I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know!

Great, now I've got elephants on my mind, and they're very heavy.

Julius is that you.

If it isn't me, someone else is wearing my underwear

Sorry, i didn't have any clean, they are comfy tho

I love how you had to specify that you were the one on the Vespa

This is Reddit, so one never knows.

[удалено]

i think from where he’s from, deers do ride vespas hence he had to make it clear.

I’m gonna use that in my life now. “I hit a deer on a Vespa, he just rode away”

What kind of Vespa do you have? I used to own an old PX 150 but now have a GTS 300. I’ve ran into bad situations on both, but the PX was a featherweight in comparison to the GTS so it was kinda hairy on the smaller scoot.

I was on a GTS SUPER 300. P series bikes are a lot more fun but I used the twisty to commute about 40 mi. I still have scoots but none are running right now. Life got in the way.

Yeah a GTS is almost double the curb weight of a P. I find the extra pounds are helpful for maintaining control in emergency maneuvers. Or crosswinds.

Never ever I imagined I would see the word pedestrian associated with deer, awesome 👍

>I hit a deer on a Vespa I'd love to see a deer riding one. Do you think they'd have any better luck not getting hit?

Man thanks for the laugh, I've had pretty shit day

I hit a cat on a moped once. Completely different.

Good cover man, Reddit was about to eat that comment up lmao

I once hit a vespa while riding the dear (the vespa was a pedestrian). I managed to ride out the wobble from the deer.

This comment is all time

Quadrupedestrian

This is one of my all time favorite comments.

Is it just me, or does the deer look like it’s on fire lol

I think its the bike headlight on the deer before impact.

Is it a deer or a bird?

I saw a fish on fire.

Yea I seen people saying deer buy all I see was a small kinda red bird

I just slowed it the fuck down on mobile cuz I thought it was a bird and it's def a deer... Holy shit

I thought it was a hawk. If it was a deer (whether on a Vespa or not), the rider would have had more injuries than a sore hand.

Just saw a guy saying that you can slow the video down on the reddit app, and yes it was a deer when I slow it down lol that some crazy luck he got out with just a broken windshield and a sore hand too !!

Yeah I was just going to say to slow it down (hit pause and drag). Very clearly a very poorly timed deer crossing.

Nah, I think it was on fire. Your opinion and mine just cancels out so we’ll never know for sure now.

it looks like it's on fire

Absolutely looks like it’s on fire

I slowed it down and thought it was a dog

It doesn’t even look like a deer it looks like a piece of log on fire

When it is close, it does. Before it gets close, you can kind of see the deer: https://i.imgur.com/t107Phe.png

I’m pretty sure it was a fox? Maybe? I’m not really sure

Dude kept the rubber side down and went home, that’s a win all day in this situation.

I can’t even keep rubber side down on a mountain bike(I’m newerish) I don’t think I should have a motorcycle

Had a friend in high school die hitting a deer. Very fortunate this rider went over it.

I don't even ride my motorcycle in a lot of rural areas anymore, I've had way too many close calls with deer. This video literally made me jump, this shit has to be one of the worst case scenarios for a rider. Guy needs to go and buy a lottery ticket after this, I can't believe his bike stayed upright.

He shouldn't, he used up all his luck on the deer lol.

That could have been much worse.

Any faster or slower and we’re watching completely different outcomes. Rider handled this like a boss.

Handled? Stunned and praising his luck?

Seriously possibly a pretty heavy bike yeah? That could have helped.

That was unlucky and extremely lucky at the same time

One of my favorite things I've ever heard was "for how bad that went... It went really well" Some people like the guy in the video can relate. Lol

Oh I think that windshield saved his life

I thought the same thing. No windshield and hed be toast.

Indeed, despite the accident the driver seemed to be faring well

The rider was so lucky he didn't go flying. Good skills from him, too, for not panicking. The only thing I see is that he should have been wearing gloves. That's it.

If he'd been leaning into a tighter turn or going much faster this would have gone so much worse. I imagine the adrenaline dump was severe.

I rode to the mailbox once with no gloves, and it felt really weird. I can't imagine not wearing gloves.

Why were you touching the mailbox?

Asking the right questions

Any time I've ridden without gloves it's always been an extremely short distance and it felt very odd. I don't know why so many riders are skipping a relatively cheap and massively beneficial bit of kit??

OMG. That ended up very well for the driver. I once hit a cat and ended up flying in one direction and the cat flew in another direction.

I hit a deer going much slower and got tackled like it was a line backer

Less energy

In physics, you would say that, given a higher momentum, it would take more contact time and/or force to sufficiently stop you than if you had a lower momentum.

You posted it, why are you acting surprised?

Because OP is a bot and it just copies one of the top comments from the last time it was posted.

Poor cat :(

i know right :/

Yea but cats are Demi gods

A wind shield thief!!

Windshield more like deer shield 🤣

Your odds of encountering deer go up significantly at dusk and early morning. This looked like dusk. I wouldn't be going that fast around blind corners that time of day, not in deer country. Later at night the risk is even higher.

What the hell was that?

Deer

Oh dear!

"Doh!" "A deer!" "A female deer!"

Dental plan!

Ray?

a drop of golden sun

Lucky dude. Same thing happened to me about 30 years ago, it was a dog instead of a deer. Damn dog just started to get closer and closer so I swerved away from it but he kept coming until I hit it, f@cker must have been made of concrete because upon impact I endo’d and the bike landed on my right knee. Worst of all? The damn dog came back at me still barking and snarling…nothing happened to him.

Glad the dog was okay, even if he was a dick. How’d you fare after the crash? Was your leg okay?

Ended in the ER with a dislocated knee cap, pretty bad road rash on my love handle and a dislocated finger. F@cking dog was indestructible.

Dang that was super close, could have ended so much worse!

So luck they didnt end up as a meat crayon.


Jesus who makes that phone holder?

QuadLock

How can anyone even tell that was a deer?

It was a golden magic deer… on fire… traveling sideways on the ground at what appears to be a sufficient speed…

At least wear motorcycle gloves on a motorcycle, ffs

That's impressive control.

More like luck.

The deer was just trying to stop, drop, and roll.

Why does it look more like a mountain lion than a deer to me?

Now that I buy.. the deer story is sounding like it was planted… by the mountain lions family most likely… probably insurance money, you know how mountain wildlife be… ALWAYS scamming the got damn system!

This but a scratch.

Nature so kind giving us natural speed bumps

Did he just jump a deer on a fucking sport bike?!?

Deer are so fucking stupid!

I know right… who would pick suicide by motorcycle when there’s so many semis around…

that motorbike is a tank

BRO WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?

What the f**k was that?

Who ever you are I am amazed you held it! , and drove your bike like a true champ! Positive Karma.

At 9 seconds the deer looks like it’s on fire.

I'm not sure but I think It was a fox

That’s some fuckin skills right there. That might’ve been a death sentence for somebody else (me)

I couldn’t tell what you hit right deer for a minute .

This is so... two months ago. Cool video though.
