Bizarre incident with bike burning
 

I found this video, this happened in my city, but I have not heard on the news nothing about it, nor I can't seem to explain what really happened.

Watch for yourself and draw your own conclusions

i cant tell either

Yes, you can see the rider burning with the bike. I don't understand what could've happened, generally in a fall or crash the rider gets ejected from the bike. It seems like he stayed on the bike while it burned.

I'm gonna guess from the rider and the way the bike is burning that the gas tank burst prior to any actual flame (or maybe a fuel line?), coating both with fuel. It looks like the rider then tried to crawl away (maybe had been partially pinned), but didn't make it very far. Pretty friggin' gruesome.

<-- Someone who's seen only a few other serious burn victims, but this one is pretty bad.

wow, at first i thought it was just a lame video of a bike burning, then they pulled the bike away. that was intense. looks like the rider was crawling or trying to get up and just died frozen in that position....wow, i have no clue.

Dude... was his head moving around after they started trying to put him out? I think it was.

I guess in one of the comments someone wrote that the type of motorcycle has been having issues with the gas tank cracking and fuel slowly leaking out and then fire... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

Look at his body. It looks like he was trying to crawl before the end came, meaning he was burned alive.

Re: Bizarre incident with bike burning (rochesterricer)
 

absolutely terrible. One of the worst things ive seen in a while.

i didnt even know they allowed anything like that on youtube

Re: Bizarre incident with bike burning (Starscream)
 

If the emperor was there, he could have made that dude into the next Vader.

Seriously, thats the one case where being thrown clear would have been a good thing.

I dunno, I mean I'd rather be thrown clear than to have a 400 lb bike chasing after me or flipping next to me.

R.I.P. to that guy, what a freaky scene.

Re: Bizarre incident with bike burning (Starscream)
 

It's freaky how the body re-ignited

Re: Bizarre incident with bike burning (Jasper_db1)
 

I heard some people commenting on it today...some say that he had a stroke while riding, then crashed and the bike burst up in flames, but his body was frozen while having the stroke.

At least I hope he didn't suffer much and died before the flames burned his body. RIP https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif
