Thrill or Buzz Kill?

>> Friday, May 02, 2008

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) released a new educational video called, "Thrill or Buzz Kill?", designed to make riders aware of how dangerous riding a motorcycle is. It uses some gory photos and videos of actual accident scenes...

And here it is....



It's not quite the same as the CHP's famous, "Red Asphalt", which largely shocked driving students into submission. Instead, it's more of a testimonial video, that has various CHP officers, and accident victims, to warn people that no one is invincible.

Granted, motorcycling is a dangerous activity, but I can't help wondering if they've made similar videos about crossing the street or running with scissors or stepping on cracks and breaking your momma's back.

Life is dangerous -- accept it or stay home in bed. Like the guy said in The Shawshank Redemption, "Get busy living, or get busy dying." I have that on a patch on my cut, just above my broken wings patch.

If they needed gory pictures, why not use the chippie that rode his Harley the wrong way on the freeway at 3am after a night of bar-hopping.

Or would that be disrespectful?
