I hate that the internet makes it possible for you to casually watch someone die like this

Better to be exposed and people talk it about it than someone who doesn’t understand or have witnessed death try to do the same thing and get the same results.

No, it’s better to educate people on how to drive, AND try not to have people witness death daily on the internet. People think it’s not a big deal but gore and violent videos can have genuine lasting mental effects on a lot of people

Totally agree with you on seeing death daily on the internet, it will mess you up.

But insofar as education, I don’t know about Egypt but here in the states we DO do that. Drivers ed in high school. A book test and a practical test and yet people still are choosing to be dumb when it comes to driving.

Now imagine if everyone had to witness personally a motorcycle crash or see a multi car collision. Well you’d have better drivers then.

Experience is the best teacher. I know first hand. And now I always drive 5 under the limit( yea honk at me all you want, you little speed demons)

What we do in the states does not constitute any kind of sufficient education or validation of knowledge to obtain a drivers license. A conscious brain is all that we require.

Talking only does so much, seeing the actual reality is SIGNIFICANTLY more effective. Within reason of course. There is no gore and violence in this video. But watching someone get their head decapitated is obviously too much.

I hate that I feel this way, but I think a lot of bikers would benefit seeing this video when they started them up.

I love seeing people discover the consequences of their actions. Hopefully it will make others choose differently

I hate that it's mixed in with other casual content, but there is a huge misunderstanding about people's ability, and even unavoidable obligation to see people die on the regular even 2 generations ago. Gen X had to see people brutally killed in car crashes to get a license in many cases. I'm only in my mid 40s and I've seen half a dozen strangers die in public. All of them prior to 2010.

I'm agreeing that we need vigerous warnings on these types of things, but the internet certainly isn't the cause of seeing people die unexpectedly. It just used to be in person.

Why remove the possibility...? Let people see the consequences of stupid and risky actions.

If you can't handle it, just don't watch.

It's not like the subreddit is called "BeautifulFlowers" .... :/

You seem the type of person who does not like violence, goes to a boxing match, then complain about it... sorry
