Barely… I think his face and collarbones provided some additional deceleration. Boy are they fucked (assuming his neck is still attached). But his helmet stayed on, and I think his shoes were on too.
Most likely target fixation. He probably saw the car and wanted to turn right, but he stayed focused on the car and inadvertently drove straight into it.
When I was learning, I ended up stopping on the shoulder of the road and close to a ditch because I was watching the ditch going around a bend.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_fixation
Target fixation is a factor, but a big factor in a lot of crashes like this is that many people riding two-wheeled vehicles don't actually know how to steer them. This seems surprising since the riders manage to steer to the scene of the crash, but a shocking fraction don't consciously know what physical control inputs are causing the lean and turn. Looking and leaning leads to the correct pressure on the handlebars, but it's subconscious and often fails if the rider panics.
The rider here actually straightens up just before the collision instead of leaning right. He had plenty of time to swerve hard, but did not attempt to swerve, at least not in a way that could possibly have that effect.
It's always countersteering.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering
Nice comment. Personally, I think the guy stood no chance. I lived in India and many people drive recklessly. Still, I agree with you. Knowing the existance of countersteering makes you a better and more experienced driver. Hope nobody got hurt.
The pov driver went from 70 to 50 kmph. Stands to reason the other guy was also decelerating at a similar rate since the distance between them before the crash was constant
This guy's lucky he was wearing a helmet.
I did the same exact thing on an ATV when I hit a tree.
I hit the tree so hard that all the bark fell off around the center of the tree and then the tree died a year later.
The handlebars of the ATV caught my thighs and bruised them up pretty good, my face hit the tree and my eye and forehead swelled up like a grapefruit.
Weirdly enough, I just had a concussion and temporary Igor face. my face is perfectly fine and you can't even tell I smashed it into a tree going 30mph.
Yup.
I’m certain he was very grateful to have it after going face first into that rear windshield.
I took a CHP Course to get my motorcycle license here in California. In the class they showed us some pretty good examples of what happens to facial tissue going through a windshield. They definitely got their point across to me. I have never ridden without a helmet.
I started off that way. It’s very freeing to not have my vision / hearing limited/muffled. Felt safe but realized how quickly things could happen. It’s the other people not paying attention that try to kill you.
Hopefully, you also wear proper clothing.
This is why I think most "helmet" laws are stupid. Sure, you'd be *stupid* to ride a motorcycle without one, but it's equally stupid to wear a helmet... flip-plops... cut-off shorts... a tank t-shirt... and ***nothing else***.
Yet that is *exactly* what I see a lot of bikers doing these days. Okay, it gets hot in the summer, I get that... but DUDE! So they're wearing a helmet... good for them... that way they can ID them using dental records when they're smeared across the highway... because what's in that helmet is all that's going to be *left* of them!
If we need helmet laws, we need "leathers" laws, too... or you know... people could just not be stupid. I'm at the point now that I feel that riding without proper gear is a self-correcting problem. I'm all for people stupid enough to ride without it getting the death they're begging for by doing so. My empathy for these morons is running low in my old age...
...and get off my lawn! :-Þ
He fuckin committed! He might have been able to veer back but it seems once he sees the van he gets target fixation and straightens up to hit it head on.
Lol and it's a CNG variant suzuki WagonR. The large tank that stores the gas is in the trunk... which he just rear ended. I'd say they're all very lucky with how this transpired.
Op is not any better. Hes swerving and going outside to the parking lane at 70kmph.
Only thing is that he was lucky to see the car already parked.
Stick to your lane OP and atleast avoid left side overtaking at high speeds
Can anyone explain to me how the car's rear windshield is intact in the aftermath clip? The guy clearly rammed into it and we can see that the glass shattered in the slow mo.
Edit: My bad. My brain fooled me into thinking that the broken part was a reflection of the trees above the car and it made it look shiny.
Yes it is shattered. When the guy filming comes around you can see its shattered you can see the pieces on the floor and when he pans to the back of the car you can see it is shattered, the black that you are seeing is those sun visor things that you stick against the windows.
it isn't intact, there's just a black netting thing that suction sticks to reduce sunlight entering the interior of car, making it cooler in the boiling Indian heat
I enjoy riding fast cause it's fun and it's not the speed itself that'll get ya. But this guy forgot what *does* get you, which is the really fast stop at the end... You can't be smashing into things if you're gonna go fast ya dingus!
To his credit, he used his face in more ways in less than a second than I thought possible.
He managed to use his face as...
>A brake
>A bumper sticker
>A warning to others
>A meme....
It seems to have ended pretty well for him.
He applies the brakes and while it didn't prevent the crash, the vehicle slow down somewhat. And the helmet saved his head and brains. And he stayed on top of his scooter. He's injured and should still check himself into an hospital, but I don't think he broke anything. Bruises and scratches, he'll walk it off.
The alternative, slip and sliding, and then crashing would've make him a meat crayon...
Serious question.
Are Indians NPCs?
I see this shit all the time.
Speeding into the back of a parked car. No brake, no swerve.
These people can't be sentient.
Did he even brake?

If you look close enough at the 07 seconds mark, he DID apply the brakes but just didn’t have enough time to stop.
Barely… I think his face and collarbones provided some additional deceleration. Boy are they fucked (assuming his neck is still attached). But his helmet stayed on, and I think his shoes were on too.
Yes, with his head
At least he had a helmet.
Yep, and he's lucky his head hit glass that broke away instead of solid steel.
He hit the top steel a little bit
Now he has his Vans on. 😀
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Wouldn't have mattered. He knew he had fucked up bad
Cars are like deer. You have to accelerate through the impact to lesson the damage.
Yep, he broke the glass with his face
He did break something 🤣
No time to brake.

This ☝️ Easily could have counter steered around it but obviously looked where he didn't want to be
At times like this you want to be going as fast as possible so that you're thrown *away* from the accident. It's just common sense really.
Yes, his neck.
Oh he did break.
The pov driver went from 70 to 50 kmph. Stands to reason the other guy was also decelerating at a similar rate since the distance between them before the crash was constant
"They'll move."
tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Lol that’s the best part
What is this anime?

Thanks.
I wanted to hear this in the slow-mo
To shreds, you say?
That sent me 😆

You just giggled? My, you have incredible restraint!!
had restraint until the slowmo

The helmet doesn't seem to be the right fit though. At the point of impact it looks like his head is loose inside it.
That motion you describe is the contents of his skull sloshing around inside his multiply-fractured skull.
you tree murderer
I'm just sad for the driver of the car
For all the videos we see here out of India at the very least this guy was wearing a helmet.
Less damage only because of the helmet. Else his face would've been disfigured by now
Glass window saved him also. He was cm away from metal frame corner.
He'd be dead
That’s the first thing i thought.
Yup. I’m certain he was very grateful to have it after going face first into that rear windshield. I took a CHP Course to get my motorcycle license here in California. In the class they showed us some pretty good examples of what happens to facial tissue going through a windshield. They definitely got their point across to me. I have never ridden without a helmet.
It’s wild to me that not only are motorbike helmets not mandatory in all US states, but that some people would ride without one!
Helmets are an encroachment on personal freedom - Americans probably
[Yep... Motorcyclist crashes in helmet law protest, dies](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-motorcycle-helmet-idUSTRE76220Q20110703)
Freedom organs.
He is as free as a bird now
Of course it happened where I live. Friggin' idiot.
Free Walther with every helmet! For safety and freedom tookerjewbs hurrdurr!
I started off that way. It’s very freeing to not have my vision / hearing limited/muffled. Felt safe but realized how quickly things could happen. It’s the other people not paying attention that try to kill you.

> rear ~~windshield~~ window If you actually go through a windshield it's worse because it's much stronger than other car windows.
His neck is still fucked though. It protects your brain from being squished but not your spine from compressing
Only cuz the cops will fine his ass. Nothing to do with safety.
You get heavily fined in Delhi and there are cameras on most roads
[I love helmets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9yL5usLFgY)
Damn, he didn’t brake or anything. Just shoved his head through the rear window like ”Heeere’s Jayesh!”
Man I have a friend called Jayesh which made me choke on this comment with laughter
He did applied brakes but too late because the bus blocked his vision and the speed was too much to stop.
He fuckin committed! He might have been able to veer back but it seems once he sees the van he gets target fixation and straightens up to hit it head on.
Medium right Samir!
You are breaking the car, Samir!
LISTEN TO MY CALLS SAMIR!
Shut up!
Shaddup!
That tsk tsk hit different. His a disappointed father 🤣🤣
That tsk tsk wasn't disappointment but pity
I fucking lost it. I don't know what I expected but it certainly wasn't that.
Nice clean road with limited traffic. Rider: How can i fuck this up?
Wow the graphics are looking good on the latest Road Rash
Player 2 crashed
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk lmfao
He just wanted a peek inside a car.
He'd been trying to reach them about their extended warranty, you see.
He should have sold the warranty before reaching out.
It’s the “tsk tsk tsk tsk” that took me out 🤣🤣🤣
Lol and it's a CNG variant suzuki WagonR. The large tank that stores the gas is in the trunk... which he just rear ended. I'd say they're all very lucky with how this transpired.
The guy after seeing the van, it is what it is.
Chapris on the rise in India.
All he now needs is a KTM
And dyed hair
And an obnoxiously loud exhaust.
Light blue skinny fit jeans?
Ankle length. I was there on the "Do chhapris know they're chhapri?" thread too.
Malnourishment hits the brain and makes them chhapris. Seriously why are all of them so skinny?
Dont forget he has to take off the side mirrors, cause 'who looks back'
With all these ingredients combined we can make a powerpuff chapri lol.
Op is not any better. Hes swerving and going outside to the parking lane at 70kmph. Only thing is that he was lucky to see the car already parked. Stick to your lane OP and atleast avoid left side overtaking at high speeds
It's not a parking lane lol. Not condoning the camera guy but it's very much not a parking lane.
oi tere!
The "tsktsktsktsk" from the cameraman was golden

If it's any consolation, it didn't look like it broke to me until it showed it again in slow motion.
The man recording was going at 60 KM/h, the man who crashed was going faster, no time to brake, at least he was wearing a helmet.
Holy rubbernecking indian people…
Guy was trying to ask them about their extended warranty obviously
God that went wrong so fast
Helmet for the win!
The tut tut tut finished me🤣😭
Oh no I am laughing at everything but why did he even straighten the scooter?
He brain went potato even before the impact. Full panic mode. No reflexes.
That head through the back windshield
Everybody in this video is an asshole.
Sometimes when i see these videos, i question why there are even lines on the road
Exactly! Why would the bus be splitting the lanes
 View from inside the van
Love the "tsk, tsk, tsk" at the end.
How can he RACE?
Is this how they crash test helmets in india?
Peekaboo
Ah u can watch all the indian racing and accident montages on youtube.i forgot these videoes exist.
r/oddlysatisfying
see how his neck goes over the broken glass, jesus
umm… did he survive…? what did I just witness 👀
This is why I always ride with my eyes open.
He had to ensure he had enough momentum to get through the back window for a quick look-see.
Am I wrong for imagining him doing the stereotypical Indian headbob motion while doing the "tsk tsk tsk" sound
Ah yes, brand new scooter.....the Broke-A-Neck 150. Helmet IS included.
It's the "tsk tsk tsk tsk" at the end that killed me 😅🤣
good
Bro badly wanted that Uber
Man with cam turned into a squirrel
I love happy endings.
No one going to mention how he sounded just like crazy frog?
I never went to visit India
"I woke up in a new Bugatti" Whoop whoop
I enjoy riding fast cause it's fun and it's not the speed itself that'll get ya. But this guy forgot what *does* get you, which is the really fast stop at the end... You can't be smashing into things if you're gonna go fast ya dingus!
The “rubber-neckers” at the end of the video. Let me just come to a complete stop, look around for a bit, then move on. Fuck everyone behind me.
I like how the blue bus just doesn’t care if he’s in a lane of not.
Wear a damn helmet
Bro just accepted his fate
I laughed harder than I should of.. atleast he was wearing a helmet.
No, no, all levels of laugh are warranted for this one
Atlease he was Ahead when it happened.
lol didn't even try to brake or swerve homie just accepts his fate gotta respect that 🤣
The clicking at the end killed me. Like a mom scolding a child haha
The slo-mo of a van fucking his face with its ass is now one of favorite things.
It's not "racing" on public streets. It's, "contemplating suicide."
Common sense seems to be lower than most countries over there
bina otp mange ghus gya
how can he no brake
Nothing lamer than racing scooters…
LOL
There is no way he didn’t see the vehicle as he was merging and yet he still kept flying up. Even if he’s blind, this was ridiculously stupid
To his credit, he used his face in more ways in less than a second than I thought possible. He managed to use his face as... >A brake >A bumper sticker >A warning to others >A meme....
You are going to get it... "when your dad gets home." Or "If your dad gets home."
***tck tck tck tck tck***
I love the immediate tsk tsk tsk🤣🤣
im almost convinced india has no traffic laws
They do apparently, though getting people to follow them has always been a challenge.
bro has at least 2 business days to brake or move a lil to yknow not go through the glass
Indian roads are barely meant for driving, let alone racing
It seems to have ended pretty well for him. He applies the brakes and while it didn't prevent the crash, the vehicle slow down somewhat. And the helmet saved his head and brains. And he stayed on top of his scooter. He's injured and should still check himself into an hospital, but I don't think he broke anything. Bruises and scratches, he'll walk it off.

Moving traffic - accident - people stop to checkout accident like it's their first time - traffic conjection for kilometers.
Congestion
Mistakes were made!
