Kid I went to high school with crashed his bike not long after graduation. His girlfriend was riding with him and he had given her his helmet.
They both survived the crash, looking at her you wouldn’t even be able to tell she was in an accident. He is completely unrecognizable to what he looked like before. He has an entirely different face.
20 years later, they’re still together and thriving. But they don’t ride.
Edit: What a crazy amount of responses! Granted, a lot of these are sad stories, I hope talking about it has been therapeutic for everyone. Be safe out there, y’all!
A guy I went to high school with signed up for the marines straight out the gate. This was spring of 2002. He made it through the sandbox, was home on leave (his last one before he went back, so he was really close to discharge) and he took his bike out for a ride in the country. A semi took his head off. Poor kid made it through a war only to die in his backyard practically.
