Motorcycle wreck

I'm sure people have had worse than this happen, but this is probably the one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Jess and I witnessed a motorcycle wreck Sunday morning on the way to pick up Renee for our OWS. I could see the truck sitting in the road (pulling out onto the road we were on) and could see that the cyclist did not see the truck. I saw the accident before it happend, knew exactly where he was going to hit-Very surreal.  He hit the front corner of a truck, went flying through the air, hit the ground, and tumbled like a rag doll. Jess and I were right behind him, she slammed on the brakes, we jumped out of the car, she went to him as I called 911. It was a traumatic experience to see him withering in pain on the ground. The cyclist was a little stunned, started talking after a minute, so his head was ok.

I didn't realize FL doesn't have helmet laws and Jess said he was lucky he had one on. He also had on a padded jacket, so he only experienced road rash on his legs. His arm and shoulder were probably broken, he couldn't move them but otherwise he was ok. He was a very lucky man, the paramedics said he would probably be ok. We were shocked all morning. The rest of the day I noticed how many motorcylists did not have helmets on; we saw 2 bicyclists on a busy road: also not wearing helmets. That just pissed me off.
