This is what is going to happen every time you ride that close to each other.

Hope you guys and your bikes make a full recovery. Good thing it wasn't where there was a lot of traffic. When cars get thrown into the mix, bikers usually die or have more severe injuries.

Hope you all have a speedy recovery! That was a tough video to watch. And yeah, I was also wondering why everyone ran towards the R6 rather than the guy on the ground haha

It was all our first time experiencing something like that, I was mostly in shock, I really did not want to move our friend too much. I rather waited till the paramedics came. Moving the bike was a smart move because footage doesn't show it but cars afterwards would not slow down from one lane, it was almost a blind spot for them until the last second, thankfully about ten minutes after this the highway patrol came and stopped both lanes of traffic, granted we could all have gone to the injured person....but what we were going to do to him? None of us are licensed paramedics.

That part of the highway cars were going pretty fast, I'm not sure what we would have gained from all of use swarming our friend and trying to move him...he was moving around afterwards...we weren't sure if he should have been doing that :/

What are you guys talking about? It's a good thing they tried to pick up the bike. According to what i heard the wrecked bike left an oil spot and it would have only been bigger if these guys hadn't lifted it. Who knows what they may have prevented. Plus, like Alan said, what can they do?

You don't have to move an accident victim, but you should at least check his ABC's. A=Airway, B=Breathing, C=Circulation. And sometimes that means moving him. Was he conscious? Was he breathing? Did he have a pulse? Anything broken or bleeding? Even if you don't know what to do, you can call 911 and they will tell you what to do. Too many times, bikers die because people on the scene just sit there and watch him die rather than try to help. A few years ago, there were two identical biker accidents within a week of each other. One was in New York and the other was in Utah. The bikers were both run over by a dumb broad not looking where she was going. Both bikers were trapped under the cars. The Utah biker's bike burst into flames. The New York biker's bike did not. The witnesses in Utah ganged up and actually lifted the car off the biker and pulled him to safety. The New York witnesses whipped out there cell phones and video recorded the biker's face as he tried to gasp for air to post on Youtube. The New York biker died because he wasn't able to breathe with a car sitting on his chest. A simple act of jacking the car up would have probably saved his life. I've heard many people say not to move an accident victim unless there is a fire, but that is bullsh!t. If the biker can't breathe or is otherwise in imminent danger, then move him if he needs to be moved. Next time, don't ignore an accident victim.

True, one thing to factor up in Angeles Crest....there was no signal, basically had to wait for paramedics to arrive. I'm sure if i was in that situation where the guy needed help from underneath a car, i would jump on that, but where we were in the canyons with no signal at all and cars coming in quickly we didn't want to risk anyone else. This video only shows the beginning but we did all go to him to make sure everything was okay with him. I have taken cpr for personal gain, but it seems like he didn't need it. We told him not to move around and just to stay down and not move much. I don't believe I ignored him as the video only grabbed the beginning. I can't really ignore a victim since working at the airport for the baggage handling system, accidents always happen, but this was something new to me. Also being the rider who was leading everyone and for one of my guys to crash shocked me a lot, I mean how would you feel if you were leading and one of your riders got into a bad crash?
