I finally got to use the creative reaction

how the hell did someone accomplish that?

Trying to get himself out of the gene pool?

Well, I donno.... You see much the same thing with tennis shoes every so often.

I am waiting for mandatory airbags to be imposed for motorcycles.

What are the chances that "hold my beer" was part of the lead up to this?

Did they try for faster then light travel?

There's apparently a CCTV camera showing a small car making a left turn and the motorcycle was going straight. The bike hit the right corner of the car, throwing the biker over the car and catapulting the bike up. Can't make out who had right of way

Not to presume but many of the crotch rocket riders in my area deserve whatever fate they risk when I hear them doing 200kph down the highway near me at 2am. I only hope they don't take innocent victims with them.

Video. The frozen bike is a glitch in the system. WARNING: no blood or gore but you can see the biker thrown and laying on the road so if this would bother you, I wouldn't watch

Both momentum and kinetic energy are ALWAYS conserved. The MC had so much kinetic energy and the car so much inertia to stop the MC's movement, that the energy had to go somewhere. It expended itself by going upward and gravity gradually dissipated the KE of the motorcycle (with a small amount going to swinging the cross light.) While momentum is a vector, kinetic energy is a scalar and can change directions easily. In physics class, this would be called a classic "inelastic collision" with some energy going into "deforming" and moving the car a little and the rest of the energy changing direction and hurling the MC upward. Issac Newton, if he came back to life and viewed the video would probably just yawn and say something like "So what? I told you this is how it works. Now, where can I get me one of those fast 'mechanical horses' the guy was riding? Is this some kind of sorcery?"

Extremely overinflated tires.
