If the rider was going a little faster they possibly could have made all the way through.

Here's something kind of related, but without much detail.
http://www.nbc4i.com/news/4966441/detail.html#

  The bike rider ended up in the back seat of the minivan... :shock:

  If you look at the 'slideshow' pictures, you can see a helmet attached to the rear of the bike.
  Not sure if Ohio has a helmet law, or if this was a passenger helmet.

Well,  you can see what happened, the van made a left turn in front of the m/c and voila'.
And you know that rear brake on that Kawasaki LTD will not stop!
The "news" channel should report on the facts not "just" the images!
I'm OK, e

Ouch. But, if the biker slid off first and out of the way of the car then you could say bikes are safer! Doubt that happened though

Quote from: "PeteSC"
 Not sure if Ohio has a helmet law.



". . . No person who is under the age of eighteen years, or who holds a motorcycle operator's endorsement or license bearing a "novice" designation that is currently in effect as provided in section 4507.13 of the Revised Code, shall operate a motorcycle on a highway, or be a passenger on a motorcycle, unless wearing a protective helmet on his head, and no other person shall be a passenger on a motorcycle operated by such a person unless similarly wearing a protective helmet. . . ."
