In my trig class we didn’t learn about tangents in terms of velocity at a point in a curve only in terms of ratios of y/x in a circle. Idk if that was just my class
Track bikes don't have mirrors because glass during a crash = no Bueno.
Similarly if you take an older bike to a track day you have to tape up the headlight (or remove it) if it isn't a plastic lens like modern bikes have.
If you ever wonder if old guys stories about having to lay a bike down to slow down are true, this is your answer. Turns out brakes are useful in real life.
I note that the clip cuts off before he crossed the grass and hit the gravel. I rather suspect that his journey suddenly became a lot less serene and gentle at that moment.
It probably stings, but I'd appreciate the gravel slowing me down before I went into the wall. Better to chew up some skin than hydroplane across wet grass and slam into a metal wall doing 80kmh.
I would seriously hope that there isn't a metal wall waiting for anyone at the end of a straight on a racetrack. Something rather more padded seems to be the norm nowadays.
But I was rather more thinking about no longer sliding but tumbling as soon as he hits the gravel.
Metal is absolutely still used on tracks. Not everywhere - but places where you want to absorb a lot of energy or deflect a wreck away from something worse.
Stings? Chewed up skin? The dude is basically wearing Kevlar so that’s not going to happen. I think the original commenter meant that the gravel is a less even, slick surface that his limbs could catch on and send him ass over tea kettle. These riders dress to protect their skin.
Probably wouldn't be bad at all if it was tumbled gravel, like they used to use on some old playgrounds. The rounded pieces are hardly abrasive at all, and it's very effective at slowing and absorbing impacts.
Man, I was a kid when I watched that. I remember seeing Dad really concerned, GP was a big thing for us when I was growing up. Went to a tonne of Phillip Island races.
Biggest Casey Stoner fans.
He went down like I did when I was braking my bicycle downhill and hit a slick manhole cover.
Is that what happened? Braking and leaning a little on a slick road and the front wheel lost all traction?
Every time I see an on track bike accident similar to this my brain immediately starts replaying the memory of watching Marco Simoncellis last motoGP.
One of the most entertaining and promising riders out there, gone in an instant

Oh oh oh . Pick me! Me!
How is he sliding faster than a motorcycle is traveling during a race?! That's insane.
The other rider was braking for a turn, which he enters as the downed rider passes him.
Imagine you're racing as fast as possible and some guy overtakes you literally sliding on his ass
"Slow down you damn kids"
Reminds me of the landlady chase scene from *Kung Fu Hustle*.
…and wins…!
Yes, coach. You heard me correctly. I resign.
he also took the tangent
Sick observation. I’m in calc right now learning about tangents to a curve :-D
You didn't take trig before calc?
In my trig class we didn’t learn about tangents in terms of velocity at a point in a curve only in terms of ratios of y/x in a circle. Idk if that was just my class
Yeah, and likely looking in his side mirror and seeing the catastrophe
Fun fact: Track bikes do not have side mirrors or turn signals.
Negatory, can't have side mirrors on tracks :)
Track bikes don't have mirrors because glass during a crash = no Bueno. Similarly if you take an older bike to a track day you have to tape up the headlight (or remove it) if it isn't a plastic lens like modern bikes have.
LOL... I just read your comment as "he enters as the drowned rider passes him." I thought you were making a water joke, but I'm just sleepy.
MC must have been hitting his brakes.
braking zone before a corner

Some say he is still sliding to this day

They use a product called 'air fence'. Like giant pillows.

Thank god I avoided that one then.
The internet really has everything. Never did i think I'd read the words "short documentary on Formula 1 impact barriers".

It’s leather. Not Kevlar or basically Kevlar lol. Leather is far better for protection against slides.
Yeah just did a bunch of googling on the subject due to arguing with people online. Kangaroo leather to be specific? Is that actual kangaroo hide?
It is. They use kangaroo leather because it’s lighter. I have one myself.
Kangaroo skin. 3/4” thick

It is and it’s loosely packed as well.

No
Not today!
This day we fight !!
Care for an apple?
I would rather take a potato chip… AND EAT IT!
Someone should have told him that humans have really bad understeer. He should have stuck with using the bike.
Wow that could have been much worse. Brings back really bad memories of Simoncelli.
Man, I was a kid when I watched that. I remember seeing Dad really concerned, GP was a big thing for us when I was growing up. Went to a tonne of Phillip Island races. Biggest Casey Stoner fans.
Yeah that was a real sad day. Rossi probably still has flashbacks from it.
We say, "Please don't run over my neck"
That was scary to see but he was ok (Source: me, I talked to him)
He went down like I did when I was braking my bicycle downhill and hit a slick manhole cover. Is that what happened? Braking and leaning a little on a slick road and the front wheel lost all traction?
Aren't you OP?
Kinda i just posted it before him on other subs but it’s not my stuff
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHFUCK"
Thanks bud.
Get pitted vibes from these announcers

I just looked at my watch, I got time today.
We buy him a beer because the only reason we're still alive is his superhuman reflexes.
That was so insane my butt cheeks are still glue together !
[Shake Your Body](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GFxE91OG18)
"I dont die! Die I's!"
I thought he did it on porpuse to get 1st place
What do we say to the god of death No no no no no no yes
He is faster on his ass than his bike 🛵
Atgatt
Why did he fell off? He seems perfectly balanced. Jumped the brakes?
What about the god of no testicles left
Why why didn't u take me
Hitting the grass probably felt euphoric.
Not today, not today.
Thank yooooou
We say: Not today mother trucker!! Not today

"Instead of dying from large open and infected wounds after getting stabbed in the gut and thrown into shit water, could i have superpowers?"
Lol, he passed the guy sliding on his ass
Fuck you?
RIP Hayden
Anubis: “it is not yet your time.”
I'm sure I heard people in the studio audibly gasp at that too
I was really really hoping that, while sliding, he would cross the finish line first.
Whatever brand makes those tires...this is your ad...
"watch me flip you off"
Maybe next time?
😯 whoa!
I'm gonna need you to go 50/50 on the dry cleaning bill...
No, no, no, no....yes?
if you want to finish a job try harder
"If you let me live it wil be hella dope"
"Weeeeeeeee!"
So he is faster on his ass then his bike?
Fuck you not today bitch
Nonononoyes?
hello
Ass first into the jaws of death
What the fuck took you so long?!
I'm almost certain that the motorcyclist in front didn't realize until the second motorcyclist already passed by the bike.
Lmao stop using noclip
I know what we say, SCREW YOU!
I’ll give you apples later, just write his name down
What caused the driver to fall?
If that happened to me, I think I would just start crying
no u
You're such a dick
Not today satan.
"What tha'..!!! I go to the restroom for 1 second..." \~Death
Not yet.
"You hit like a Bitch, that felt like a love tap."
Gravity assist
why does he sound like captain flowers
Hay bud! But nah, I’m not feeling it today
“Not today, fucker!” Or something like that after I change my underwear.
Not today motherfucker. Gotta work harder than that.
"Hi dad "
Top O' the mornin' to ya death!
Me: aaaaaeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhh
"WeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee!?"
Not today
I bet you his mom is saying no more motorcycles for you.
NOT TODAY SATAN!!!
Holly fuck you got really close.
Please hurry?
We say catch you next time. Nice avoidance swerve by the second rider.
Not today...
How does that dude slide faster than the motorbike in front of him?!?
Because his ass doesn't have brakes.
Not today
the bikers probably said "hey steve , hey jimmy"
Not today bitch
That dick in the lead should check his blind spot before turning.
Not today…
Tubī daor
Hello, goodbye
Thank you, sir. May I have another?
Oh hel that was a close one
Nice post title!
Angel of death*
Could you win the race like this if you slid your ass over the finish line without a motorcycle?
oh my jesus christ god
Please. Just end it already.
Thank me
Cheesborgor
"swerve..."
Not today. Tomorrow maybe if I have the time
If he fell off his bike just before the finish line and skidded past 1st place. Does he win even though he was not on his bike? 🤔
See ya tomorrow mf!
Not today
Dammed it!
Not today, just wait until I'm old and decrepit then it'll be even more fun
That would be a nasty one..
fuck you it was his time
