Tipex Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Her jacket would have been ruined - RUINED! - if one of those juggernauts had driven over her... Oh, the juggernaut that passes after they've stopped? I can't see what benefit him grabbing on to her had at all? They were both sliding the same way, I'm not criticising what he did by the way, just questioning how he 'saved' her in any way when they were on an empty stretch of road sliding pretty gently (all things considered) off to the side of the road.

patently Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah, silly me, she's totes safe sliding down a major road in the pouring rain. I doubt anything will come round the corner. She'll be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 You're missing the point, falling off a bike is never going to be safe, yes I get that, I just don't see that his actions of grabbing her as they slide have any effect in making her any safer. Again, I'm not criticising him, it's quite nice that he was thinking of her, probably completely instinctive, but the headline says he saved her, I can't see any saving.

Scotty Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Simples : he was using his body to protect her from any forth coming impact hence trying to make her safer. The fact he then pulls the helmet forward when she could have neck injuries is secondary Edited October 2, 2015 by Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I reckon he was trying to pull her closer so he could hop on and do some body surfing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I think they only tend to fall on their swords figuratively these days. The level crossing failure was Taiwan, not Japan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ah. Not sure if I've offended Japan or Taiwan there. Maybe if I add, "isn't Taiwan just a Chinese province?" for good measure...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This Lamborghini Aventador burst into flames after a little bit of revving, which resulted in the whole car going up in flames! Luckily the driver probably has two more of these back at his Dubai palace! Skip to 1m30s http://youtu.be/zgAJHnoYscI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I was thinking the same didn't it happen in one of the London videos and they tried to move to put the flames out and it made it worse. Lovely car to go up in flames like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 all the fires (including the London one) where caused by c0ck's revving the nuts off whilst stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
