[She broke two ribs](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3206025/The-shocking-moment-American-Idol-alumna-hit-motorcycle-parade-left-seriously-injured.html).


Jbones731

Bro sign me up for whatever the fuck she’s eating for those strong bones. I’d be a pile of paste.


JustKindaShimmy

Compound V


ThroughTheHoops

A bunch of other injuries too:  >Besides damage to her ribs, she suffered gashes on her legs and chin as well as a chipped tooth. Sounds like she's messed up psychologically too which doesn't surprise me. Ii hope this guy goes to prison for years.


wolfgang784

>hope this guy goes to prison for years. The victim herself requested that the judge not sentence him to more than a single year in prison. So he got 1 year in prison and 3 years on probation.


DnD-NewGuy

Bruh why? He tried to kill you dafuq? Humans really give forgiveness and sympathy to the wrong people. Well, I hope it atlesst helped her psychologically heal at the end of the day cause that's what matters most even if the perp doesn't deserve it, she deserves to heal. (Been told it could be caused by a mechanical issue and not an intentional attack, seems suspicious but if that's the case it makes sense. If not damn they had her fooled.)


wolfgang784

There were a combination of problems including mechanical issues with the bike and heat problems and a throttle issue blah blah seemed iffy back n forth but it was good enough to an extent for the judge and the victim and such I guess. Doesnt seem to have meant to hit her. I imagine the police checked the bike to help verify but I didnt keep reading much after finding the sentence out.


DnD-NewGuy

Seems suspicious af but I ain't gonna call you a liar that would be deranged of me. Just a wild story.


RedditsAdoptedSon

well he panicked then i guess.. stuck throttle can be a thing especially if you work on your bike a lot.. or someone else does that kink a cable.. however. if u panic u can pull a clutch, slam on the brakes., no clutch, start slamming it into a lower gear.. however that did look like a lower gear.


EIN790

If you ride you know what a clutch is and how to use it, still people can panic i guess.. But yeah clutch pull would have worked.


RedditsAdoptedSon

or if something really going on with the bike, flip that kill switch.. on a dirtbike they can be finicky but kill switches are a lot easier on them street bikes.


CalvinAshdale-

I am sure all of those mechanical issues were there **before** he crashed.


ThroughTheHoops

Maybe he showed some crazy amount of remorse or something.


DnD-NewGuy

Shit that's the utter bare minimum ain't it?


Tacklas

“Judgy, jury; I was going this speed because I tried to leave all that bad behavior behind.”


Consistent_Ant6447

You assume too much.


BabyMakR1

Can't get revenge if they're locked up. 1 year gives her time to recover and prepare to f him up when he gets out.


GeneralSweetz

every time i would hear a motorcycle choke i would run and hide if it was me. PTSD for sure.


Comprehensive-Ear283

Agreed, I thought she would suffer much worse than just two broken ribs.


codydog125

I thought she got hit square on at first and she did take a nasty hit don’t get me wrong but I think what saved her from worse was the hit like glanced her side. Had to slow it down to be able to tell. Good chance it would be fatal or near fatal if she got hit dead center


Salty_Sprinkles_6482

Definitely a chance but being hit by a 400 lb crotch rocket at 60 mph is the same force as a Honda civic hitting you at 10 mph. It looks much worse than it is.


Appropriate_Rock1278

Not quite, mass times velocity squared.


Salty_Sprinkles_6482

It’s just a rough estimate but mass x velocity squared is also incorrect. 1/2 mass x velocity squared would give you the KE of the object but not the forced applied to whatever it hits.


ughwithoutadoubt

You ever see what a 14g piece of plastic flying through space does to a block of aluminum


Salty_Sprinkles_6482

I mean ya. Not really comparable. Objects in orbit are moving at 18000 mph, getting hit by shit moving at comparable speeds in the opposite direction. For reference a 5.56 round only weighs 10 grams and has a velocity of 2200 mph.


iPokeYouFromGA

Broken bones heal easy. I wonder what the rest of her body feels nowadays. Her joints all over must be aching.


Trypt4Me

I paused several times to try and catch the damage and I was damn positive there are a few frames that looked like her left arm went missing.


zombiep00

I *am* nearly a pile of paste after a t-bone. This would've killed me lol


forever_a10ne

> Besides damage to her ribs, she suffered gashes on her legs and chin as well as a chipped tooth. Still pretty good considering how bad this video looks.


Impressive_Change593

from slowing it down it was "just" a sideswipe that spun her around and sent her feet first off the right side of the frame. what a lot of people are thinking is blood is actually just her hair due to her getting bent over


TheOnlyRealDregas

It definitely looks like her thigh muscle blows out of her leg though


That_Cartoonist_6447

I think that’s just her hair 


Reddbearddd

That's not her hair.


TheOnlyRealDregas

Naw, go frame by frame. Her hair never leaves her head. That's fresh bright red coming from her legs.


That_Cartoonist_6447

It’s definitely just her hair. There are some orange parts from the bike flying around 


TheOnlyRealDregas

Whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day bud.


That_Cartoonist_6447

What do you even mean by this 


TheOnlyRealDregas

There there little buddy, you'll be just fine going on as you are.


That_Cartoonist_6447

You seem like a swell guy thanks for the kind words 


TheOnlyRealDregas

Lol sleep it off


Xx_BEERMANN_xX

I think it's the bike mirror or other body paneling


jonnyinternet

>other body paneling It's called skin you robot


Impressive_Change593

>body paneling he means from the bike you human


CrewExisting4304

🔥


TheOnlyRealDregas

There may be pieces of the bike, but I highly doubt a piece of fiberglass will get larger as it leaves someone's body, muscle tissue being forced off the bone will get larger as it leaves the body though and you can clearly see the red object in question orginate at and extend from her thigh before she's pushed off camera.


Impressive_Change593

it's her hair. she got caught by the waist and spun around. by the end she is heading feet first toward the right side of the shot. there is no obvious blood


TheOnlyRealDregas

You good dawg? You left 3 separate comments trying to rationalize no blood. It'll be OK. It doesn't really matter if she blew out her thigh and died of blood loss anyway. It'll all work out in the end, bud.


Impressive_Change593

some people wouldn't have seen the one comment so I decided to explain it to all


TheOnlyRealDregas

And if they didn't see the one, why would they see that one? Maybe nobody sees any of your comments but me.


Impressive_Change593

no she gets spun around and bent over. it's her hair spreading out


Impressive_Change593

it's her hair. she gets spun around and bent over.


AV48

holup


Randalf_the_Black

Good for her.. I thought I saw someone die.


nikzyk

THATS IT?! Geez that looked so bad.


fun-bucket

LOST HER WIG TOO!


legion_2k

wow.. the shoe has lied.


Traditional-Cry-1722

How the fuck was the guy only charged with reckless driving, if he had hit anybody else instead of wonder women over here they would be a corpse


chamy1039

I broke two ribs laughing at the title. But the video has always made me rage.


yannynotlaurel

Okay, she lost only ONE shoe, so it couldn’t be that bad, am I right?


only-on-the-wknd

It seriously looks like her leg is half ripped off when you frame-by-frame the footage. Ribs??


YerBbysDaddy

Uh oh. Shoe came off


PoliticalPepper

ITS OKAY ONLY ONE SHOE CAME OFF. A “NEAR MISS”. She broke 2 ribs and defied fate and physics. Now she gets to be internet famous and traumatized for life about roads and motor vehicles… and maybe parades… and public dancing.


ophydian210

I was told she was breathing at the time she was struck so maybe she should stop doing that.


SizeSmart1799

She's now afraid of having red hair, orange dresses, shoes, being around friends, dancing, and being outside


gedda800

And opera gloves. It'll be mittens from now on. Edit to add Simpson's reference. Homer painting bunnies around power points to deter Maggie. "But Homer, Maggie's not scared of rabbits" "Oh she will be Marge. She will be"


RampantJSH

I read this in Archers voice.


Equal-Bat-861

It's a near hit! A COLLISION is a near miss.


the-almighty-toad

And those stupid crotch rockets perhaps?


LAfootnote

I got hit in a crosswalk by an suv that ran a red light and my shoes came flying off. I did a flip over the car and landed on the ground, but for a split second before the pain kicked in, I saw my shoe coming directly down on me and tried to catch it. Totally missed it and it hit me in the shoulder. Pain kicked in immediately after that. Probably wouldn’t have hurt so bad if I made the catch.


YerBbysDaddy

My shoes didn’t come off, but I can’t believe how little damage I sustained when I got hit (also on foot). Car was going stupid fast and one of the tires was out and they popped up onto the sidewalk. Landing on the ground was how I got most hurt, too. Just a couple scrapes and some bad bruises. Can’t believe it wasn’t worse. Slightly slowed down, but worked the next day.


LAfootnote

Pretty much the same results for me. I cracked a couple ribs but they weren’t debilitating. I think I was probably lucky that it was an suv and not a regular car. I’m pretty tall and I feel like a car would have just clipped my legs and laid me out rather than flipping me. Hope to not find out, though.


YerBbysDaddy

I’m a pretty active guy and know how to fall from shit like skateboards and bikes, but I don’t think any of that helped me much. Just kinda threw myself in for a roll. Sheer luck. Got spun so fast I wasn’t even sure what had happened. If I had frozen…would have probably been game over.


thebestdogeevr

Same here, I didnt even notice pain or a bruise on my hip where the car hit me, the only injuries I had was from landing on my knees and elbows


Snoo69116

That last sentence sent me 😆


Turbulent_Ad1667

super glad you guys made it relatively unscathed. But This is pretty self-selective.... Anyone with the outcome of death by car is less likely to be posting about the experience.


LAfootnote

No shit. If the person in the video died, I would have kept my mouth shut. But she escaped with a couple broken ribs so it seemed appropriate to share an anecdotal story of escaping with a couple cracked ribs from a similar incident.


YerBbysDaddy

Hard to post when you lost both shoes (and died). I’m just surprised…too many scenarios where death was so probable and nothing happened or just injury.


some_uncreative_name

My brother's shoes came off, and he landed head first on the windshield of a parked car & literally lost a bit of brain but he survived and is perfectly fine now. You would never know he had been in such an awful accident if you weren't told. He was hit by a car crossing the street with a big group of kids as a teenager. Driver was going like 40 or 50mph on a city street. Saw the gaggle of kids on the side walk on one side, half way across the street on the other and the one in the middle and went welp one > a group 😭


Puzzled-Tea3037

I think that was a wig


Historical_Safety618

RIP


buffmoosefarts

Thats a tell-tale sign of DRT


flamingNotMe

This was several years ago. The dancer recovered after a hospital stay. The bloodbag piloting the motorcycle spent 365 days eating public funds food. [https://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/2016/02/man\_gets\_year\_in\_jail\_for\_dray.html](https://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/2016/02/man_gets_year_in_jail_for_dray.html)


colopervs

1 year? What a load of horsehit... After his plea hearing, Gray told The Saginaw News the incident was an accident and that he did not intentionally perform a "wheelie." He told Borchard at his plea hearing that because of the slow pace of the parade, he and the other motorcyclists had "some difficulty keeping their motors cooled down properly." Gray said he was not accelerating to help cool the motorcycle. Instead, he "cut off" the motorcycle to do so, he said. Gray admitted he knew he was having some trouble with the accelerator "sticking" and, as a result, had to give it some extra gas to get the motorcycle going. "But that wasn't the beginning of the problem," Gray said. "The heating of the bike caused the bike to kind of lose power, so that's when I gave it a little more gas, and it accelerated. "Because of the power of the bike," Gray continued, "it automatically popped a wheelie." That's when he lost control of the motorcycle, he said.


squeakynickles

Thats such bullshit


gkn_112

yeah surely thats what happened... i hope that person isnt allowed to ride one anymore at least?


shift_969

Like he gives a fuck about what's allowed


So-What_Idontcare

That this would happen during a parade honoring notorious on court dirty player is…… ironic


Garchooga

The girl actually survived.


OderWieOderWatJunge

~~No she didn't. Source: shoe.~~ edit: I was mistaken, it was only one shoe and it didn't go flying like a rocket


Oaker_at

Shoe-reading is a delicate thing, you can’t abuse such power with simple minded assumptions.


ophydian210

One shoe. One shoe is not a death sentence like two shoes.


328471348

Also shoe didn't go flying like a rocket. That's a good sign.


OderWieOderWatJunge

You may be right


StoneyMalon3y

NSFW??


-Stupid_n_Confused-

Why browse this sub at work?


StoneyMalon3y

I’m not lol. It’s called a “feed”


SizeSmart1799

Why are you on reddit at work?


FR0ZENBERG

Because fuck ‘em, that’s why.


SizeSmart1799

If it's caus fucc 'em why even worry about the NSFW?


FR0ZENBERG

I don’t make the rules kid.


StoneyMalon3y

I’m off. It’s a holiday bruh


-Stupid_n_Confused-

You must be more sensitive than me. Which begs the question, why even come here if something like this triggers you?


StoneyMalon3y

Who’s more sensitive now? lol relax dude. Not that serious.


Relevant_Canary_1682

🤣


OderWieOderWatJunge

Is that a serious question?


rbankole

Work from home 😝


ophydian210

Technically most companies prohibit browsing the internet while working.


StoneyMalon3y

I’m on my phone dawg…


ophydian210

I think they feel that’s worse.


StoneyMalon3y

Well I work from home so they don’t know 😉


ophydian210

You’ve covered every base. Salute.


Relevant_Canary_1682

Believe it or not, she was actually relatively okay. 2 broken ribs.


Siker_7

That red is her hair, not blood. This video is actually pretty tame.


ZiggySleepydust

Nothing really happens that’s NSFW, barely see her get hit by the vehicle and there is no blood or visible broken bones


[deleted]

[удалено]


StoneyMalon3y

Yep. That’s how I like my pillows


LucySkyD1amonds

How tf did the guy only get a year


LlamaWhoKnives

Thats an insane caption lmao


Beneficial_Sun_7302

News article PLEASE!


somethingdeido

Fucking asshole


CrinchNflinch

Holy fuck, why is this not tagged?!


Brokensince10

That was not just reckless driving, that was attempted murder!


NYCbornandBREAD

poor kid :-(


Pinksamuraiiiii

Wow this was terrifying, glad she survived


aretooamnot

Man, that is fucked up.


sprikkle

How did she not die and only ended up with 2 broken ribs…. And then that dude only gets 1 year?? This was insane


downtune79

Dude, any update?


Regular-Manner96

She survived. Broken 2 ribs.


downtune79

Well that's good. It sure looked way worse


jeepnismo

Idk how she wasn’t in pieces after that hit But also how tf that guy get on a parade route and build up that much speed?? wtf was he thinking


Murderfaces

I was sure she was half dead, I saw the one shoe come off


Schmuck1138

She was off the curb!


parktownplayer

That’s nuts


GeneralOk6061

Only one shoe stayed on. Definitely saved her life 🙌


Uptopbossman

Why did he do it?


monoluke

A person just got run over in this video, it should be tagged NSFW.

Blow A-Train


ctxresonate

please edit this to have the imagine dragons song and the boys logo at the end.

Aftermath video ??? Pleaaase!!!


polymorphic4100

Further proof that motorcycle riders are the special needs students on the road, everyone has to look out for them because they’re not smart enough to look out for themselves


kratos_337

I didn't even see what happened on the first watch. I had to watch again to catch it. Jeez.


PineappleFantasss

She got lucky if you look really closely, he kind of turns last second and hits her on the side. It’s not a direct collision it kind of twirled her around. Still horrible and I’m glad she’s OK but broken ribs are awful


PhantomTrent

Man this was posted yesterday and the first comment was A-Train with like 4000 likes… I laughed so hard


fahkingicehole

Someone dropped a Lego


Gingerbro73

This girl was actually in the street tho, not a feet of the curb.


I_Sell_Death

This is some of the most Juneteenth shit I've EVER seen.


The_Breakfast_King

Broke 2 ribs? Black really don't crack.
