Did I say ****ing full leathers? I've never ridden in full leathers, but even good riding boots would have helped immensely.
Boots, gloves, helmet, jacket, riding denim.

Red light means STOP!!!!!!!! Idiot rider
This. Happened to a guy i worked with when a car pulled in front if him. Shattered every bone in his foot. The bones are now dead and he will never walk right again. It is a risk you accept if you ride.
Yup. A coworker was a few months away from retirement was sitting at a red light on his soft tail. Some women on a phone just whipped out of the target parking lot and t-boned him.
"OMG I didn't see him!!"
Car smashed his knee into the bike and they had to amputate it at the knee.
Classless use of the camera.....
Total dick comment at the end.
That driver was clearly shaken up and that ****stain had the audacity to question her/him like that.
Sucks the passenger got hurt, when it clearly should have been the driver's body and his head that should have been seperated.

This was my buddies leg after skin gears and some major surgeries from a similar incident
Yup, totally agree. I don't have a problem with having fun doing wheelies, BUT ONLY, if it is in an area that can only harm/effect YOU.
I just got a bike and have three HD cameras. I have a GoPro on my helmet, one on the handlbars looking at me, and another that I will mount facing behind me. That shit isn't there to boost my ego or catch me doing stupid shit. It is there because I recently was hit in an intersection due to an old lady running a red light (much like this video). Because people ****ing SUCK, not one person who witnessed the accident pulled over to be a god damn witness or even checked to see if we were okay with my airbags having been deployed. Because of that bullshit, it became my word against hers. Luckily my insurance covered me, but it was still absolute bullshit that I was put in that situation because of some ****s stulidity. I will never ride/drive without a dashcam again.
Also, I picked the largest insurance coverage I could get with AAA (excellent insurance, will never go elsewhere) because of the added risks of riding.

Anyone else realize that the entire group of bikers were all about to run that red, following the leader? The only thing that stopped them was that car

I feel bad for the girl, that's a really bad injury!
Wow! The aftermath was very hard to watch. I remember many years ago my daughter (then only 17) went for a ride on a bike on night. Her first time on a bike. The guy went 120+ on the Interstate, which she wasn't prepared for. She expected a normal ride and normal speeds because she knew the guy. She was scared as hell. That was the last time she ever rode on a bike.
Bad things can happen in an instant when bad decisions are made. The driver of the bike that crashed will not only be prosecuted and likely sued, but he will bear the memory of this horrific incident for the rest of his life. I can only imagine the pain this girl's family endured as well. Drive safe and be safe everyone. Bikes or cars or trucks or any other vehicle.

I feel bad for the girl and the driver of the car... The rider should have the book thrown at him...
Anyone have experience on that type of injury, what's her likely outcome? I've seen a lot of accidents but can't say I've ever seen a foot ripped off before.

I'm guessing she's losing the foot
I'm no doctor, and I tried not to look at the foot much, but I imagine whether or not she got to keep her foot depended on damage to muscles/tendons/blood vessels in the area and whether or not they could reattach them all.
Riding shoes or boots would have probably prevented her de-footing. Heck, I wear my Dainese riding shoes pretty much every day, whether I'm riding or not. Built in armor, padding and sole protection. Plus they don't look like riding shoes. It looks like the driver of the bike was wearing something similar.
I've been abstaining from watching this full length video until now (saw the impact part on FB the day it posted), but had to finally watch the whole thing. I can't believe the guy had the balls to ask the car driver twice, in a guilt trip fashion, if she didn't see them coming...he should be feeling pretty bad, that's 100% his fault for being a ****ing dumbass.
Why in God's name would anybody ever think it's a good idea to haul ass through a red light, especially when you can clearly see there are cars moving toward the intersection?!
And yes...proper riding boots would have significantly increased her chances of that foot staying attached.

I ride wearing a Dainese jacket, the brand is $$$ but one of the best.Riding shoes or boots would have probably prevented her de-footing.

I wish I could spend more on gloves, my alpine star gloves are shit. Never buying that brand again, both gloves ripped after having them for 3 months, and i dont even ride everyday :nonono:
I plan to get riding shoes/boots and they are $$$ too, so for now I just wear my Vibram USMC boots.
In for the outcome of what happened to the stupid rider who ruined his passenger's life.
