I saw a father and daughter (the daughter went to my elementry school) get hit by a van on a highway near me when I was 6.
And a few years ago, I saw some guy on a crotch rocket (far left lane) hit the grooves on the side of the road on Rt 80 and go flying off his bike across the highway. (He was wearing sandles, shorts, and a tshirt )

All lived.

Supposadly the dad and kid took a few months to recover.. and the guy on the bike seemd to only have a messed up his foot a little, he dragged his bike to the side of the road, then flagged down a van to take him to the hospital. My ex and I had pulled over, trying to flag people down who had a cell phone until he left. :dunno: He was lucky... he got thrown across the highway in front of cars (us included) fortunatly everyone was able to stop without an incident
