    That was an actual crash. It happened in 2007 and he was killed. His best friend was also killed a few days later doing 100+ on a sportbike.

    Um.. good Samaritan laws protect you from liability if more injuries occur while you are trying to render aid to the victim... they do not require you to help.......

    um.. thank you. I was wrong in a certain particular aspect of my post. You are right. Thank you for the much needed clarification; the remainder of this thread would have been compromised with this inaccurate and critical information. And as an added bonus, you have given us yet another reason the driver should have offered some type of assistance rather than just standing there and pointing at the guy with his head through the trailer as he is not legally held liable for any possible injuries sustained by the victim while rendering life saving actions.

    I think no amount of aid would have helped this unfortunate young man.The injuries probably were so severe he died instantly.

    I doubt CPR could even revive the man. Clearly head trauma, the human brain doesn't sit still it move around in brain liquid(forgot what's its called) that's why when you spin in circles and stop, you're head still feels like it's spinning. Unless you can do brain surgery then go for it

    I respect that, but I'll offer a potentially unpopular counterpoint.

    Certain images stay with you for life. This guy was having fun, doing something that was incredibly dangerous, of his own free will. I don't judge him - we all have done stupid stuff. That said, I'm not going to live with the image of his head coming off in my hands because I tried in vain to help.
