Had an almost identical crash here in the UK in May. Thank goodness a car wasn’t coming the other way when your friend slid across the other lane. Glad he’s OK, hope he’s recovering well. I broke my ankle and was badly bruised, my Ducati Hypermotard totalled. Watching this video brings it all back. The sudden unavoidability of it. It was like hitting a brick wall, thought I was going to die as I rag dolled down the road.
Full good quality gear including an air bag vest (I urge everyone to get one if you can afford it) saved my life. You articulated so well the lessons I have learned upon reflection. ATGATT, slow down in risky areas and times, heightened awareness etc. I don’t think I’ll ever take a seemingly clear road for granted again.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad your okay. Situations like this really wake you up. We’re getting into deer rut season so we’re on hyper alert now. Full gear and slowing the pace down are also in season.
Very similar here. Hit deer head on on my 16' Tuono at about 60mph. I was pretty lucky as well ,only a small avulsion fracture on foot. Bike totalled Deer totalled .Good gear, over the ankle boots w/ ankle support and full face helmet saved me from serious injuries. And yes,there just is NO substitute for leather or at least high quality textile gear ,both with armor, in a moto crash. Quality helmet also a must. Insurance paid and picked up a 17' Tuono . Must say tho,I still think about it at times while riding and slow down. Agree with you about being sensible in picking your spots as to when to go fast and when not to,track days work for me. Great video
Hit one on my 1300 was doing about 115 broke my ankle in multiple spots..fractured kneecap. broke my wrist in 3 spots multiple fractures and severe soft tissue damage. Head trauma and my neck was soooo sore.
I got lucky I was also wearing high end gear.
Had an Arai helmet, a segur neck guard THANK GOD... and a full one piece leather suit from alpine star..
Alpine v2 shoes.. and full leather gauntlets.. Everything happened so fast. I don't remember a lot. But I had a guy in a car behind me that's said I split the deer so perfectly He drove through the blood cloud, but never heard or fell to single bump from running over anything... The only part of anything hitting his car was my.
Helmet visor.. he said my leg hit the bars and I did a flip and hit headfirst. Had I not had the helmet and neck protector.... well.
And my leathers were DESTROYED. ..
For those that have an experienced this, Imagine dragging your body At high speed Across sandpaper... That leather saved my ass..LITERALLY.
When u get up at that kind of speed after a slide if the weather's right u can see steam coming from your leather.. I had heat rash.
My dad has been audited by the IRS! Can’t believe neither of us has hit a deer yet.
Wow the way that Deer just blew apart & the blood spray was crazy as, your friend is so fortunate to not have sustained serious injuries.
I stopped a Kangaroo from taking me out at 110ks by having quick enough reflexes to kick his head just before impact & i was able to stay upright, I fractured or broke my foot, small injury compared to loosing my life if he got between the front wheel & motor.
Scary! Kangaroos look a lot tougher than deer too.
@@tularosamoto i would say definitely a lot bulkier than a deer, & a harder head i reckon.
yeah, and if you are going 100 mph, get knocked or thrown off your bike, and YOU hit something, like a phone pole, the support on a guard rail or sign, or any solid object
that is exactly what your body will do, no matter what kind of gear you are wearing
that deer was dressed from head to hoof in "leather"
Just over 2 years ago, I hit a deer at about 50 mph. The bike and I somersaulted over the deer and parted ways in midair. Two broken metatarsals, 4 broken ribs, a shattered scapula, and a lacerated liver. 5 days in the hospital. Snell rated HJC full-face helmet... toast. Alpinstar jacket & pants.... toast. Tourmaster boots... toast. Held gloves... toast. Doc said if i hadn't been dressed like that, I would have died.
Damn thats brutal. Deer season means GO SLOW speed can make the difference
Heard someone mention this on PKA. That's wild.
I hit a deer at 35mph, on a 600lbs bike. I got lucky, and didn't go down. Deer got a face full of glass and headlight. Not sure if she survived the night.
Luckily, I had physics on my side.
Thank you for the video. I had the misfortune of hitting a moose at around 80kmh (around 50mph). I flew over the handlebars in a very similar fashion as your friend, but just like him my gear saved me. Please use a full face helmet and wear good quality gear with knee, elbow, shoulder and back protectors. I need some time to get my bike fixed, but I will also get an airbag vest once I get back on the road. The gear we have these days is amazing and feeling hot is a small price to pay for walking away from a crash.
Excellent video thank you.
I struck a deer while riding to work at 5:00 AM on October 20, 2021, outside of Medina New York. I hit the deer at about 50 miles per hour and I never seen it because a truck was driving towards me with their Highbeams on.
Luckily I was wearing a full face helmet, riding jeans with chaps and a heavy armored coat with leather gloves and riding boots. I was thrown from the bike my head struck along with my hands , then my back then I did a few somersaults. My injuries included a broken left wrist several broken fingers in each hand a sprained right wrist and several broken bones in each hand. I didn’t have a scratch on my body the protective gear saved my life. I still ride today put no longer in the early mornings or at night. My hands will never be 100% but I have about 80% back. Mentally, I’m ok but I have struggled with the fear of a deer running out into the road.
I believe your video can help save someone’s life because when riding your life can change in the blink of an eye.
The bike a 2015 V-Star 950 was totaled.
Thanks for sharing your story. Gear can really make the difference. Glad you’re back at it. I’m with you though, I avoid night riding in general.
Wow!! That was SO SCARY! I'm proud of you all for wearing FULL GEAR!! That's what you HAVE TO DO when you ride motorcycles! 😊
Very informative. Thanks for the warning.
In 2020, I hide a deer at 40 miles an hour. I had all gear on. I broke a hip and had a hip replacement. I was riding 2 months later. I was 68 years old. My helmet saved my life. Oh i forget this, but also cracked one rib. It just has to heal on it's own. My head hit the pavement 3 times. It was a 3/4 helmet.
Speed kills, measure your risks, and PLEASE wear all gear. Im a Harley rider, I live in Bakersfield CA, 100+ degrees almost every day in the summer, i still wear a full face helmet. If you want to wear less armor thats your choice, we all get to take our own risks, but in the end the risks can catch up more often than not.
Speed is fun and it can kill. I probably go too fast as well at times. Quality protective gear is expensive and a person just needs to ask themselves how much their head, body, legs, are worth to them. Thanks for the video.
Sobering thoughts. If you're relying on luck to keep you safe, one day you may pay 'deerly'. And you're right, we all probably take risks. That's half the fun. Even so, being properly prepared with the right kind of gear to meet the dark side of that risk is far far better than blithely thinking you're invincible. Thanks for a great video. I'm glad your friend is recovering. Live to ride again.
Just had my roommates friend die last night doing 100 plus hit the side of a truck couldn’t do anything about it instant death it’s very sad truthfully…
Solid video man
Awesome, amazing, educational and informative video! Your narration is concise and very easy to understand. I live in an area that’s inundated with deer and they just come out of nowhere in herds sometimes! Surprisingly enough, there’s no deer 🦌 ⚠️ warning signs posted anywhere, so I learned to be extra careful all year round! Situational awareness, great gear and videos like this can definitely save lives!! Personally, I don’t like to eat venison. Thanks for the video. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
I hope someday he tells us how relieved he was.
Why were you travelling at over 100 mph?
Why do we ride motorcycles?
@@tularosamoto not to be irresponsible w⚓️s that get speed limits reduced on roads like the Great Ocean Road a magnificent roads that is now 60kph due to the speedsters ruining it for the rest of us.
100mph is pretty fast but given that was an open road in what looked like the country side the speed limit could’ve been within that range. Deer are just really stupid animals.
@@tularosamoto Not to do this!
if you cant see the obstacles or risks at the speed you are going in time to respond and avoid a collision
then you are going too fast - no matter where you are
@@kiandronootto the video was in California, the speed limit is not 100 mph anywhere in the USA
I hit one back in October 2022 going roughly 50mph or so at 530am, slid close to the same distance. Walked away with nothing more than some bruised ribs and small road rash, decent gear and a helmet helped a lot. Bike was fully operational with just some scratched protection parts, rode it back home. Still ride daily just more cautiously. Wasn’t luck, it was God’s hand.
Some days it pays to be lucky!
LIKE THE MAN SAID IT WAS IN GODS HANDS. LUCK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT !!! @@tularosamoto
Proper gear saved his life!
100% dead without protective gear
It's a big reason why I added a airbag vest
At low speeds Deer are no joke ua-cam.com/video/5slKEVZKU1c/v-deo.html
Good call. One of the things we are working on is airbag integration with our leather suits.
@@tularosamoto For me being a old duffer the vest is great, I can wear it year round tshirt to winter overcoat.... For sure though integrated with the suit is going to be terrific....
Decided to look this up after my two neighbors, both only 34 with two young children, died while riding a motorcycle and hitting a deer. Not even 45 mins later, another unrelated motorcyclist hit one as well in the same area, also dead.
I feel so terrible for the families especially my neighbors' little girls. I'm just in so much shock. Today doesn't feel real.
Oh that's terrible. So sorry for the famiiles and friends of all involved.
ATGATT
Can’t argue with that.
Seen this happen south of Mt. St helens. The deer was prego and there was 3 dead calfs. Didn't know white tale deer could have so many babies at once.
wow Thanks for Sharing! had a friend hit a Coyote in Baja with similar results... AGATT.. thanks for providing quality gear!
Great video, sobering reminder of the risks we all take on two wheels.
When I saw the aftermath of the deer, I literally vomited. But I’m glad your friend is ok
Sounds good except the part where you are going 100 mph on public hwy,! If you do this in the lower UP of Michigan this would happen every week.
All equipment. Always. No excuses.
Deer jerky? That was a lucky break!
Scary! May I use this video in my new episode? Full Credited of course
I’m sorry but as I mentioned in the video we aren’t interested in just putting the crash out in social media without any context.
@@tularosamoto Sure thing. No worries.
go hit your own deer
Just found and subbed your channel, as a new rider your videos have really been helpful. Been riding with Atgatt due to my own fears of having to go through skin graphs. Taking the MSF, I want to put the odds more in my favor. Live in northeast, tons of deer all year long, they are the most dangerous thing, even more than the idiot drivers
You’re smart to protect yourself. A rider at this year’s Sturgis rally died when he hit a deer. No helmet. Gear really can be the difference between life and death.
Fukin hell...I thought for sure some of those guts were his.
Thankfully not…
What a true Miracle!
Glad your friend made it!
Same here!
He wore a hardshell which is only useful against penetration not impact but amazingly his back was saved.
A deer hit me as I was doing around 60 to 65. I didn't know what had hit me until I walked back to the accident. It jumped a hedge roll into the road.
So awesome
Damn you can see the deer vaporize
keep it on the track
I don’t think you target fixated, you headed towards the open space but the deer and bike were moving there too
Oh deer !
How about the well being of the deer? I guess animals are just food.
That deer got source physics
So glad he is okay!
I hit a deer back in May- never saw her coming! Thankfully I had full gear on but still broke/displaced my wrist. Deer was knocked down but got up and took off. It happened sooooo fast.
Yah that gear is not what prevented him from getting broken bones.
2yrs ago today I know the feeling, every doctor I see to this day say I'm a miracle and yes I did fix my totalled Harley and still do ride but 2 yrs ago today I hit a deer on my way to work I'm pretty sure I was doing probably 90 on back road and only shorts sneakers and t shirt on and unfortunately no helmet, I ended up about about 100ft in the yard where the deer was in the road I was in the hospital for 4 months and unfortunately don't remember none of that at all and now I do where a full face helmet and do love to ride
I'm very surprised that 1 less than you did not learn is to do the speed limit Because I'm sure in that area like that the speed limit is like 35/40 And I'm sure going at that speed you would notice something coming out from your side view!
I hit a deer at 60 on my 99 fatboy. Up over the bars I went no helmet only a tee shirt jeans and steel toe boots. A cop was right behind me he thought he was going to watch me die. When I came down head first with my hand out like superman. I tucked my head as much as I could. I scraped the blacktop with my forehead just enough to give me a little scratch not even enough to bleed. Before my first roll I got both hands locked behind my head. Just instinct from being a kid crashing on bikes and mini bikes. Or anything else where You need to protect your head. After about 60 yards I came to a stop on my knees. Elbows pouring blood that was it though other than my hand from first contact. And a sprained ankle because of the weight of my steel toes. It seemed like I was in the air for an hour. The amount of thoughts that run through your head in that split second is unbelievable. I'd say the scariest part was listening to my bike skidding across the ground thinking it's going to run me the f over. I rebuilt that bike and was very hesitant to go out of the garage. Always scan the ditches for any type of animals . That's all I do it seems like and it kinda took the pleasure out of riding a bit. Because i don't get to see the sights anymore. Be safe and scan the sides of the roads !!
You are very lucky to be alive. To survive a crash like that with no helmet is like winning the lottery. Glad you’re okay. Ride safe!
I just hit a deer on my motorcycle Thursday morning going to work. I'm in the ICU. 5 broken ribs, fractured shoulder, and collapsed lung. I was wearing full riding gear. I killed the deer on impact. I haven't seen my bike yet, but assuming it's totaled. I flew over the bars and tumbled down the road about 100 ft to a stop. I'm counting my lucky stars.
Oh no! Get well soon! Hope you’re back to riding before long.
@tularosamoto also found out when I tried to walk that I have a fractured left ankle and fractured right foot. Got some fancy new footwear and a walker. Just got home after a 7 day hospital stay. I still haven't heard whether the bike is totalled or not. It will most likely be spring before I ride again
Just hit a dear last night going 65. Two broken ankles and a dislocated shoulder. Can't express enough how glad I am that I was wearing all the proper gear. I'm pretty shook up from the whole thing. Hope you get better man, we both got lucky
@drewnader1726 oh man, so sorry to hear this! So glad you are OK considering all odds! Hope you heal up quickly. Well, we both heal up quickly!
people can learn from your experience:
how fast were you going?
was it dark?
blind hill, curve or overgrown road shoulders?
I swear a deer has gps tracking they get their target every time. Great video. I live in Arizona. I CANT BELIEVE HOW MANY WEAR NOTHING! I always use a full face helmet even if I look funny on a harley. 😂
I recently flew off the bike face first. My helmet skidded along the ground with me staring at the asphalt rushing by. If I hadn’t been wearing a full dace helmet, my chin would have been ground down to nothing. I walked away with a bruise to my hand and that was it. Gear isn’t so much how you look before you go down as it is how look after. 👍🏼
@@tularosamoto I just looked at my gloves after going down 2 days ago. Now I know why my hand hurts like hell but not a scratch. I saw something somewhere about how many people die on bikes in the Phoenix area each month. Sobering
Oooommmmgggg😮
Fucking scary, i dont ride but dont get those that do and dont wear protection you better believe if i rode my gear woudnt be cheap
what about the deer
It died on impact and got made into jerky by a passersby.
This video deserves more views
And yeah, thats about how fast it happens with Deer. Just minding your own business and BAM.....
Just in the last 2 years ive hit no fewer than 9 goddamn deer. Some at low speed, some at high speed, all at night lol. A few of them I saw, but not in time to avoid them.....they like to run out like 1-2 car lenghts ahead and thats just far enough to be like "oh shit, deer"....and bam. Didnt hit em on a motor cycle, but still...Deer are the dumbest damn animals I know.
oh deer god😅
Why not mention installing deer whistles ? $7
Hadn’t considered that for a bike. Might just check that out. 👍🏼
That deer probably saved him from going into a car or rail
Too bad crap hole Cali doesn't allow roadkill permits, not like there would have been much worth salvaging from that deer anyways. Hopefully he'll learn from this and not be riding like he's late to his own organ donation procedure.
Sure going 100+ is fun but it's just not worth either dealing with officer smiley or the EMS
Doing 116 thru the woods is asking for it
