Why do people do daft things like ride motor bikes at speed, then get killed,?

Question

and leave thousands of people wondering why and how did it happen?

Answer 1

at least they only do it once..

Answer 2

Adrenaline junkies. I do aggressive sports and often look back after an injury and wonder why I bothered but at the same time without the adrenaline rush in life it hardly seems worth living. If all I could do was take walks in the park and watch TV I'd get bored pretty quickly. I'd rather break my ribs and have fun before doing it than die from lack of exercise from a heart attack.

Answer 3

motorbikes are machines they do what the idiot driving them tells them to do they are as safe as the driver,,,but if you do have an accident then you are more vulnerable,

bit like guns really,,,,guns dont kill people,,,,people kill people!

Answer 4

why do you choose riding fast bikes?

in the right situations a bike can be ridden fast safely

what about jackass? bungee-jumping? jumping off buildings with a parachute?

its the moron car drivers talking on their mobile phone or changing cd that kill us

Answer 5

Because they are committing suicide.

Answer 6

my cousin was killed on his motor bike seven years ago. He was a loveable idiot who was a nutter on his bike. he was killed when he hit a tractor that was pulling out of a field.....entirely his own fault, but the guilt of the farmer and the devastated family he left behind is what we have left of him. he was a thrill seeking, selfish individual and we all expected him to have an accident sooner or later, but he wouldn't listen to anyone.

Answer 7

I knew a few pathologists years ago who had to perform autopsies on these motorcycle "maniacs". They were sorely tempted to list the cause of death as "acute onset of stupidity"  but couldn't do so legally.

Answer 8

sorry thousands, are you talking about on a track in a race, surely that's part of it, the thrill, but an ordinary person on the road, don't see how that would affect thousands.

Answer 9

Riding fast bikes, running another firm, doing P Company with the Paras, or robbing banks... Why???

We do it for the buzz, the thrill, the sheer f*** off of it all - and then we grow up (but some of us die, but hey, that's bad luck and Darwinism).

Wouldn't the world be be a dull, grey place if we didn't? Health and Safety's not all it's cracked up to be.

Unfortunately, everyone in the UK is so wrapped in cotton-wool these days - if the nannying HSE don't smooth all the rough edges off the world for you, you can always cop a few bob through 'Claims Direct' (even if you are are a whining, clumsy fat lard-a**e who should have looked where they were going).

Answer 10

I have always viewed motorbikes as dangerous and have seen first hand several motorbike accidents. I often have a day away in Loch Lomond to get away from glasgow and you see lots of bikers up there. I think it must be the thrill of the country roads but the casualty rate is huge. I would say 50% of the time I go there you see a crash and beacause motorbikes are vulnerable, sadly many are fatal. I dont think you can blame the biker for all the accidents as now doubt many are accomplished riders. I know a guy who is paralysed and sadly his girlfriend was killed in a bike crash in loch lomond and it was caused by someone pulling out of a junction without noticing them. I do think though there are just as many car drivers driving at ridculous speeds.

Answer 11

take ur pick...showing off, careless, dont give a fook about anyone else......i like to call them dicks...u asking this question this means ur not a d**k... so why does someone drive like a prick....why does a baby shite its nappy....its not mature enough to know better

Answer 12

True, very true, our nephew got killed in a motorbike accident that was not even his fault.  He was even wearing all kind of protective gear and, according to the witnesses he was not speeding.  But a car changed lane in front of him, he lost control and got killed instantly. People cannot understand that they can be the best drivers but they never know who will make wrong move in front of them.

Answer 13

its all fun and games until someone loses an eye!

Answer 14

i doubt they plan to get killed.

Because, like the people who get into their car and drive at 120mph along the road, they think they are better than they are, and think they can control it - nothing bad is going to happen to them is their mentality.

People are stupid, and it's not just those on motorbikes (of which I am one, and most people don't ride around at rediculous speeds, or anything. and car drivers are responsibly for a lot of it. If people looked in their mirrors before pulling out, or didn't just open their car doors without looking and knock someone off their bike)

Answer 15

Cos they're daft.

Answer 16

For the release.... You do need a bit of risk in your life

Answer 17

to get that rush

Answer 18

where u from, the north west is on here in N.Ireland right now and a top rider is seriously injured no-one asks questions like that
