@blacksheeptrp8 can you PLEASE restate this? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY!!!

Haha his flip flop went 30 feet in the air.

@crazycowcat It will make significant difference, but the people saying "This wouldn't have happened if he was wearing a helmet"... It would have happened. Just wouldn't have been as painful. It's like saying seat belts will PREVENT accidents, no... It'll help save a life, but it won't save you from an accident.

@zeeKxxL leather chaps woldnt have saved him very much just road rash. a helmet could have been life or death right there. i had a acident a car tboened me and my 1990 zx600d and i was only wereing blue levis and a short sleave t shirt , i did suffer road rash but most of my injerys was my crushed leg from the ford explorer. leathers wont protect against broken bones and soft tissue damage from a car.

@code3paris Yes, because that caused his crash, because he wasn't wearing safe riding gear, maybe he should wear leather chaps, a leather jacket and a helmet like all the other losers driving around Iowa City... Oh wait, he's like 23, not gay.

-
Holy Shit how did he get up? lucky man
-
real lucky that the cops were at the scene.

because he play football.
I guess this answers the age old question: Does being tackled by a 300-pound man feel like getting hit by a truck? Let's ask this guy.

At the same time, a Ford F150 pickup was eastbound on Burlington. A police officer who witnessed the crash said the driver of the truck attempted to make a left-hand turn onto Gilbert Street and collided with Koeppel in the intersection. The driver was cited for failing to yield.
From the Article. Trucks fault. 15 yard penalty.
