Video: Motorist killed as he flies through the air and is then crushed by pick-up

[Trujillo]

I'm not a five-year-old. It was posted here; I want to see what happened. There's nothing insane about that. 

Here, let me show you this video of a guy high-diving into a wading pool or water...oh, sorry, we froze the video just before he hits...I don't think so. 

So where is the link? I assume it's in Thai somewhere. 

[cyberfarang]

No doubts the impact when the man hit the road would have killed him before the pick up ran him over.

 

Terribly tragic, a horrible way to die.

[Trujillo]

I agree, but let's make sure.

I was not aware that motorbikes are allowed on the Expressway. I never used one when driving my bike in Bangkok. Anyway RIP, fellow biker.

[Trujillo]

It wasn't a bike.

Terrible. I imagine the driver of the Honda was being a complete retard. 

I wonder if the two following drivers were either under the influence of drink, drugs or using their phone.  The guy was stationery probably misty off the road with hazard flashers on.  They were obviously not paying attention, in particular the Honda driver.  "Drive in such a manner that you can stop completely in half the clear road ahead "  Very sad. To the strains of Glen Frey'a "Dirty Laundry. "   Poor family !!!!

I went for driving lessons in the uk and one of the things you learn if broken down  on a motorway is to leave and find a safe place until the rescue/recovery services come.not get out on a high speed road and rely on the hazard lights and go hide behind the bonnet (hood). Must say it was a horrible way to die but as usual Thai don't ever see things coming especially in this case and I mean all of the drivers in this case.

I do understand where you are coming from darksidedog but, first, give someone some credit for editing out the man hitting the ground and being run over and, second, these horrendous examples of Thais inability to drive responsibly need to be dramatically publicised if the roads are to become a safer place.   The guy seems to have done the right thing up on highway.   The Honda and the pickup drivers have some explaining to do.

 

 

In Thailand the indicator light is used to inform the road users of the last move the driver made.   

There should be a requirement that indicators switch off automatically after a given number of seconds or distance travelled.   Can't be difficult.   After all, car alarms switch off after a period of time.

Car lights manage to switch off

Looks like the way he was gonna land was on his feet. If nothing had hit him, he might of got away with 2 broken legs/ankles and maybe wrists.

RIP.

Thai Visa had absolutely no say in the matter. But you would know that if you had read the rules. Here is the relevant excerpt. You will note we have no right to edit, so we get what comes. Part of the deal to get the news feed in the first place.

The ThaiVisa News Team gathers and disseminates news bulletins from Thai and International sources, and republishes them in the News Forums for our members' information and enjoyment. Our News Team works hard to bring quality content to the News Forums, and should be respected for their efforts.

Comments such as "slow news day" or "clickbait headline" are neither respectful nor welcome on the forum, and will be considered as troll comments and removed and the offending poster warned and/or suspended accordingly.

Except as otherwise indicated in the byline, news bulletins are reprinted verbatim from a mass media source which has given TV permission to use its feed. 

Original articles, especially in the Thai press, often have grammatical mistakes or misspellings. ThaiVisa is not responsible for these nor does ThaiVisa have the rights to alter content it is reprinting from another source. Similarly, ThaiVisa is not responsible for any opinions reflected  or quoted in reprinted news stories.

You should probably also read the section on commenting about moderation. It explains why your last post just got deleted. For your convenience it is here:

10) Do not discuss moderation publicly in the open forum; this includes individual actions, and specific or general policies and issues. You may send a PM to a moderator to discuss individual actions or email support (at) thaivisa.com to discuss moderation policy.
 

It's not TV that I criticized but you! 
The fact that TV also shows this video to thousands of people "made me think" that it would have been wiser for you not to expressed your self as you did but it is only my opinion that very logically other will not share. And it's life and disagreeing with someone does not mean disrespecting him. In any case that's how I see things

To go further one should be able to be for a political party opposite to that of one's neighbour while keeping a good relationship with him, but impossible for some people, not for me so maybe tomorrow I will klick a "like" for an answer of you

Tragic enough set of circumstances, without them having to show the video of the poor guys final seconds. I'm sure his family will not be impressed knowing his untimely death is being viewed for macabre pleasure. One day maybe the Press here will start to develop a little bit of decency and respect for the dead.

RIP.

Yes, totally agree - what should have been focused on was the accident on the bridge which was the triggering factor  - the rest could advantageously be left over for the imagination….

 

RIP

Are you suggesting that if I see a story on this forum that I think should have been presented better, that I should just shut my mouth? Because I moderate? I am entitled to my opinion, and will voice it as I see fit. I recognise the right for others to do the same, regardless of if their view is different to mine. But please don't suggest for one second, that I have any power whatsoever in what TV do and don't use as news stories. I have explained that to you already and they cannot refuse or edit news stories. That should be easy to understand.

I would only be a hypocrite if I thought one thing, but said another. Other posters have the right to make their views on what is right and wrong, so moderators should also have that right, thanks! And if that flies in the face of what TV News post, so be it.

I have complained bitterly about some stories run, but they get run anyway. I will make my comment on such pieces known and I frankly don't care if you, or any other posters agree with me or not. You can criticise me as much as you like, but I am entitled to my opinion. I thought the video, albeit abbreviated was in bad taste. Not actually sure how you linked that content, over which I had no control, back to criticise my negative view on it?

He would have been rekt by staying in the car too from the sounds of it....... 

The two drivers that were going too fast to avoid his car should be responsible

I am getting a little tired of people who clearly do not know the rules of this forum, question me about them.

Thai Visa receives a set amount of stories per day from various sources. Which must be presented as delivered.

Thai Visa has to run with it, spelling mistakes, nastiness and all.

What exactly makes you think that I, as a moderator have the right to remove content published by the news team?

Because I don't. I can only comment on it, same as you.

This site got what it was contractually bound to receive. The decency and respect stuff I referred to needs to come from the broadcaster, which isn't TV Forum.

If you require further education on how the whole thing works, I refer you to the rules you agreed to when you joined.

If you had read them before posting, your questions would have been unnecessary.

I don't see anyone getting crushed by a pick-up. 

I see a man who gets suspended in air just before he hits the ground. Perhaps that also suspended his heart and organs too? 

Does anyone have any source for a video that actually shows what the headline describes? 

Try the link, that's what links are there for.

Everybody should be able to make their own mind up whether they view it or not, you had that choice, you obviously chose to watch it.

this is all good free advertising for GoPro;
