Cool Here's Why You Need Body Armor!
Traffic accident somewhere in the orient (don't know where), but the motorcycle rider finds out what a "RED LIGHT" means - the hard way!

Actually, if you look at the lights, I think he had a green light, and the driver had red. The driver looks like he starts to brake before the bike appears in the picture.

Yeah - I got that - but the motorcycle rider is the one on the ground!

Yeah, the driver was an idiot though. The motorcycle rider was lucky to be alive after a hit like that.

it looks like him landing on the car after being hit by it broke his fall.

Yeah. If the motorcycle had run the red light, I would be screaming DARWIN!, but he didnt.

Speaking of which, in NC, they recently passed a law that allows motorcycles to run redlights after coming to a complete stop.

Did you see the driver of the car when he walked up to the guy, never put down his cell phone, probably distracted while yacking away.

Actually this is why body armor was created. Army Pfc. Stephen Tschiderer, a medic, was saved from a jihadi bullet by the SAPI plate from Point Blank Body Armor, a subsidiary of DHB Industries Inc.

I remember when this was first released by Army Times two years ago, they had a good account of what happened. The video stops just before the guys buddies opened fire on the insurgents. After a foot pursuit, the Army medic who had been shot gave the insurgent that tried to kill him first aid for his gun shot wounds. Crazy world we live in.

Here's a translation of the video (unverified):
"Let him walk more into the front so when you shoot him it will be a good shot (like in a good angle for the vid). Then after the shot he says: shall I put the stuff away? The other guy says no. Then the first guy asks: did he fall? Yes, yes he fell..."

The bad thing, is that insurgent snipers are getting better and shooting around the body armor.

Holy crap. Ive heard from someone who caught one with body armor that it feels like being hit by a freight train, and he just gets up and runs behind the Hummer.

I think this was posted recently already...maybe not.

Just curious, why do you keep posting all these liveleak videos?
