[QUOTE=Rubs10;44679449]What's the difference between saying "Reckless teenagers on bikes deserve to get hurt" and "I wish reckless teenagers on bikes get hurt"
Both of them communicate the exact same thing, which is that you don't like what they're doing and you're glad if they get hurt.[/QUOTE]
You misunderstand, I think. I have no hope or wish that reckless drivers suffer accidents. I derive no leasure from hearing that a reckless driver got hurt in an accident that they could have prevented. What I am saying is that there is a certain level of emotional output for any given event that I hear of, and in this case, that output is less than it would be had the driver exercised due caution in operating the vehicle. It's difficult to convey exactly what I'm trying to say right now, so forgive me; I don't find pleasure in people's pain. I mourn loss of life regardless of my relationship to that life. I feel sadness when I hear that someone gets hurt, even if I don't know that person. [B][U]I am significantly less sympathetic towards people whose injuries are a direct result of their negligence.[/U][/B] This does not mean that I am glad that they got hurt, or that I enjoy that they are in pain. In a way, it hurts me to hear that someone else is hurt. However, it hurts a lot less when I know that the person was directly responsible for whatever hurt them.

At this moment he's thinking ''FUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK''[/QUOTE]
At that moment, according to reddit comments, he was unconscious.

Even if he was, he wouldn't have many strong emotions. People that have fallen out of buildings and survived reported that they didn't panic or scream, it was just "Oh well, I guess that's that..." feeling. I got a similar one actually, when I was lucid dreaming, decided to jump out of my window like I always do in dreams like that, but while falling I thought maybe I was hallucinating and this is not a dream, I'm falling to my doom, felt the same thing I described above.
GoPros are really tough, kept recording the whole time, bouncing along the concrete at 130 mph.
[QUOTE=Aetna;44676678]That's a very vindictive, mindless way to look at things.[/QUOTE]
There's only two valid reasons to be going that fast on a public highway. Reason 1 is you're an emergency responder who's actually on an emergency call. Reason 2 is you're outrunning a nuclear detonation.
Neither is the case. Fuck this biker. He doesn't deserve a license.
If only he just bothered to keep his eye on front at this speed at least. However you feel slow on a bike, i had a tall ktm 525 dirtbike and when i was going at 120kph, i feel like im going at 80 kph, when i was at 180kph, it felt like 120kph (compared to a car feeling), unsatisfying slow feeling, i think its because of the field of view and height or something, no wonder why racer would go up to 300kph for satisfaction.
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;44678884]I dont understand how you guys are mad at the people calling him an idiot? He's driving 140mph and not even paying attention while doing so.
Now all this thread needs is a person saying it was somehow the car driver's fault and we'll have come full circle.
also damn, gopros are durable.[/QUOTE]
Nobody is mad at the people calling him an idiot, because he was totally being an idiot. We're mad at the 12 year olds who think he deserved to die.
That "golfball-in-the-hole" sound.
