This is the reason I will NOT participate in aggressive large group street rides.
Aside from his speed and failure to see the trailer, he also missed the lead rider's brake light and came up on his RIGHT. Big no no for me! That rider is damn lucky.

This is why I don't ride with large groups of aggressive riders. Hope he learned a lesson or two.

The trailer doesn't have lights, it's got reflectors at the top of the rear panel. In some areas that's all that's required plus they're in farm country, could be an off road trailer being moved from one area to another.
Regardless of the trailer or it's lights, dude was hauling ass, missed his buddies brakes lights plus the fact that something big and right in front of him was stopping. He got lucky he went right up the middle and didn't take out more of his friends.
If he didn't even see that big truck & trailer, how would that 2" little round light help him to avoid this crash??? What he was probably focusing on was the position of the bikes in the group as he was flying through the middle of the group.
There is only one reason why this happened an that reason is lucky to be alive and lucky he didn't kill one of his fellow riders.

Apparently removed due to shocking and disturbing content. Shame because it was a real eye opener and learning opportunity.

That's ridiculous. I'm sure it'll pop up on one of the less restricted video sites.
Here we go. It went to LiveLeak, then back to YouTube. I'll post both in case one of them goes away.

Isn't it weird how these crashes play out.. My brother goes down in a corner at about 25-30 mph and dies instantly. This guy flies through the air for 100 ft and he's pretty much fine.
Just makes you realize we all have an expiration date....

I completely agree. I was launched similarly to (but maybe slower than) the guy in this video when I crashed. The bike impacted at 50MPH and launched me, but I walked away. I'll never understand it in this lifetime.
Sorry about your brother. :down:

"....and the judges will score that lower Bob, as his feet were not together mid air and he didn't stick the landing." "Thanks Dale, and now we take you to the Olympic pool where Tammy Weisenheimer will be competing in....."

How the hell did he not see that big azz truck. At :07 seconds you can see the truck (taillights) stops, why the hell would it just stop in the middle of the road with the azz end all hanging out like that ,then to top it off the trailer didn't look like it had stop lights. too many wrongs here.

He must have been Canadian. That's why he didnt stick the landing
I don't think I knew this about you and am sorry for it.
To your point yes it is weird as I had a Lincoln Town car completely drive over me and my bike. I jumped up like a shot deer and hobbled to median on I95 but basically was ok. Aside from some grapefruit sized nuts and not being able to walk due to spine swell for a week or two I was ok.
