Seen that one, what a ghastly mess. Every bike rider wanna be should see it. It was in a left hand drive European country. The young new rider was on a new Chinese clone bike. It appeared he was "at speed" and came up on slower vehicles and could not get through between or stop in time. His attempted stop was too long when using all rear brake and little to no front according to the skid marks. He either tried taking the side walk or skidded up over the curb and had the misfortune of a pole being there. He must have had the bike on it side and was off the bike as his head/chest on one side of the pole and his waste/hips/legs on the other side. While at 25-35mph it doesn"t sound like much but it pulled his spine off the pelvis. His now helmet-less and bootless body halves continued together down the street another 20-25 yards. His diaphragm was still intact, that was some of his bowl stretched out on the pavement. Not his heart. There was a spray of bowl matter on the pole and in a fan pattern in his direction of travel past the pole. Very little blood, his heart must have stopped instantly. The bike never hit the pole and was another 10-20 yards farther down the road from the deceased. It only looked scratched and probably could have been rode away from the scene.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
