Maybe once they realise that bikes can actually do some damage to them inside their cars they might finally decide it's worthwhile looking.

I find it a tad hard to belive that an impact at that speed, considering the supposed damage it done to the car (which included literally splitting the chassis i might add). That the subframe on the back and all the components of the bike seem exactly straight.... And why would the bike have gone at such an angle. Also the bike seems extremely clean and appears to be in pristine condition before the crash, notice there is no wear and hardly any sign of use on the rear tyre.

It claims to be the exact result of the crash...but it just doesnt add up.

All this is my personal opinion, mostly based on the automotive crash protection from my degree.


The angle is probably the result of a combination of the door snapping off the locking mechanism and folding forwards and inwards and the front wheel of the bike bouncing from the dashboard. It also looks as though the A-pillar was struck by the rear wheel and collapsed inward, bringing the roof down with it. Without that, the bike is likely to have gone straight through the other side. The way it has sheared through the floorpan is pretty scary.

The firemen have been at the base of the A-pillar with the jaws of life, presumably to allow them to pull the bike out to extract what was left of the people inside. The right side door is also missing, presumably because they couldn't reconstruct it after they'd chopped it off and removed it from it's hinges.

The subframe is likely to (appear to) be straight because it hit nothing and doesn't weigh much, so not a lot of force is needed to stop it. The reason it looks so clean is because it has been cleaned up after the incident. Remember, three people died in that mess, and I doubt it was a particularly bloodless way to die.

I think it's been cut in half by the rescue team's, to get the victims out. Via the a-pillar's and through the floorpan. Then they have put it back together again. Just my opinion.
