[reno cool]

aha.. that was weird

 

[bacon]

So are deer assaulters

 

[roguejuror]

from the opposite lane, the seperating middle ditch made it fly over the car it seems

 

[bacon]

sounds like a driver issue

innocent deer done wrong, mislead by colors

probably thought it was a big deer and wanted to hook up

 

[Matty]

What happened up there? Flying tire?

Yap. Right across the head. What are the odds?

I wonder what would've happened if the same tire hit a driver-side window. I'm thinking it would kill the driver, but maybe not.

Hard to say. There was a string of accidents - loose tires flying into cars - a few years back on the 400 highways. Some people died. It led to some reform in regulations and yada yada.

Still, I would definitely rather have a tire hit my car than hit me.

 

[Matty]

Sure, but it came like a bullet. Pretty sure it would smash right through the window and asplode your face just the same. Assuming it's a bullseye hit, just like in that freaky video.

 

[Mudcat]

Getting hit by hundred mile-an-hour stuff ---> it's not good.

 

[Matty]

Yeah, looks like people get killed by truck tires flying right through windshields. Jesus fok.

remember the russian plane crash? tire hits the car

 

[reno cool]

man, I really shouldve had one of these cameras when I hit that deer

 

[Matty]

I keep a camera on my helmet so that my wife and kid will know exactly how I died.

I have yet to capture anything even remotely interesting.

 

[Mudcat]

Yes you should've. You of all people, I look to for a dashcam. Russian flavor and whatnot.

 

[Saulty]

Put 200 miles this week commuting on the bike. Great weather.

 

[Matty]

My poor baby. :sad:

Suddenly lost power on the highway, barely made it to the next exit.

Ignition coil failed, once again. Ima have to bite the bullet and get a new pair instead of getting used ones off eBay.
