it says he survives.

Pretty impressive, the ping-ping-ping of the GoPro housing skipping along the pavement with no interruption in the video at all. :yes:

How good is that "still shot" (one of four at around 06) showing mirror and shattered bits as he hits his head. I tried to transfer and post just that pic but failed.....Is that possible?

Didn't look anywhere near 140 mph, though. :nea:

I know exactly where that stretch of I-25 is. Have driven it many, many times.
Very light traffic for daytime at that spot which is odd. Probably saved him from getting run over 2 or 3 dozen times.
Now they made this a private video... the guy must have gotten embarrassed and changed the privacy setting.
Still plays for me. :pardon:
Yup, now it's working again. This morning it wouldn't work on mine or my admin asst's. Said it was a private video.
It looks like he crashed at around 45-50mph.........................nowhere near the speed the video poster claims.....
Still, it shows you why you always pay attention to what's in front of you..............(ie: traffic slowing)
Definitely watch ahead. All the freakin' rain around here has been a PITA. Besides the road being flooded when I rode home, yesterday, on the ride in, on my road, a log/tree had fallen across the road in a set of S turns. Lucky enough to stand the bike up and turn it enough to get by, but just clipped the end with the lower fairing and now have a small crack in the plastic. Could have been worse.
I was initially impressed at how rugged the GoPro camera seemed to be as it skipped along the concrete.
However, while I was messing around with the frames of the video later, I realized that towards the end of the tumble it seems to have lost it's plastic shell and still survived:
