The best motorcycle save you’ll see all week

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Without a doubt, one of the scariest moments in any motorcycle rider’s life is the split-second just before a high-side. This kind of accident often takes place after a turn is taken at high speed and the rider attempts to accelerate out of the corner. The rear tire loses enough traction that it slides out of line with the front wheel, then quickly regains its footing, snapping the bike violently upright. Almost always, this results in a nasty spill, making high-sides extremely dangerous.

This exact scenario played out during the qualifying round for the 250cc MotoGP race in Mugello. Honda rider Raffaele de Rosa was near the end of a fast lap when the bike lost traction and then quickly snapped back up, very nearly throwing de Rosa off the bike. Obviously a skilled rider, he was able to ride the bike as if it were some sort of rodeo bull, remounting the machine and returning to the pits. Truly amazing, and we highly recommend you click past the break to watch the video. Tip of the hat helmet to Karan!

Man aims airbag at family jewels, regrets what happens next

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

A group of young men with nothing to do and little upstairs decided to get way more creative with an airbag. They strapped a ‘live’ airbag to a skateboard body and blew it up. For some reason, they thought it was a good idea to have one of the guys stand on two chairs with his legs spread apart when the safety device was detonated. The result of this stupidity is one helluva powerful blow to the male reproductive organs. We’ve seen some stupid stunts over the years, but this one has Darwin Award honorable mention written all over it. While you’re watching the clip after the jump, think about how much money you would pay to not have this happen to you, then think about the fact that this guy probably didn’t get a dime to ruin any chance at future offspring.
