Chiang Mai teenager survives big bike collision but loses leg – VIDEO

By  The Thaiger

A 13 year old Chiang Mai teenager is lucky to escape with his life after a high-speed crash in front of the Sri Arun Market in the San Kampaeng district of Chiang Mai.

 

The person posting video of the incident estimated he was traveling at 150 kph when he hit another motorbike, before sliding into a car at high speed. He recorded the boy flashing past his car’s dash cam just moments before he hit another motorbike. Two other people were injured in the incident.

The teenager was riding a 1000cc Kawasaki big bike. He survived the crash but lost a leg in the incident and was rushed to hospital.

 

His sister went online to apologise to the other motorists and emergency responders for wasting their time attending to her brother. She said their family had sent him to get big bike training although he was too young to have a motorbike licence. He was active in local off-road racing.

 

The Thailand BigBike Society has blamed his family for allowing the teenager to ride the bigbike in the first place.

 

In Thailand you must be over 15 year of age to have a motorbike license but there is no restriction on the power of the bike you may ride.

well he won't be shifting any gears in the near future.

Nothing much to be said.  The parents sent an underage kid for big bike training, and presumably bought the bike for him.  Enough said, irresponsibility on all sides.

wow he is reeeeeally moving in that video. and that bike ain't cheap.

Last time I asked:

15 year-olds can drive motorcycles up to 110cc

For bigger bikes they have to be 18 years-old

Car license is 18 years-old

Nothing select about it in this country, 25,000 plus members per year and that's just on the roads !! Throw in the electrocutions, drownings, and balcony fallers for a huge Darwin party....

Absolutely no sympathy for him or his brainless parents for allowing him to have and ride anything at the age of 13. Only in Thailand! Life is cheap here. That's why Thailand is Top of the List for Traffic deaths in the world.

Underage and no license so presumably no insurance payout. Lets hope the so called parents have a huge set of bills to contend with. They deserve to be financially ruined over letting their idiot son loose on the public roads on a bike like that.

No way he can stop that momentum at that high speed. But yet again looking at what he crashed in to, it is a Thai rider crossing the road like a headless chicken without any concern of safety too.

His crutches will remind him for the rest of his life of his and his parents stupidity.

This is one instance when the overused word  STUPID  is all that is needed to be said

Doubtful

They probably don't understand why it happened and put it down to fate. Hence the reason nothing changes here as there is no learning curve.....

Actually, there is something select about the Darwin awards. This young 13 year old would only be eligible if he died and thus had not passed on his genes. Other idiots who perform amazingly stupid acts ending in their death are not eligible if they have passed on their genes ie.had a child.

Lunacy !! 

As long as there is little or no consequence in the law enforcement here things will never change.

The boy lost a leg, could easily have been many innocent lives!

In this case the parents passing on their jeans would last twice as long.

"Hello, Kawasaki design and research center, can I help you?"

"We have more crash data from Thailand."

"Sorry Thailand crash data servers are full."

With insurance here being on the car or bike, not the driver/rider, is that true? 

13 year old.  Stupidity and lack of responsibility of his parents. Thainess at its best

Yes but the license as demasdan also stated is for the person. No license automatically disqualify claims on the insurance so no license no insurance.

Going that fast on any road in Thailand is just crazy,

especially passing a market,where drivers just pull

out,without looking,or stop without warning,the

parents now have an invalid son,and it's their fault

for buying the big bike for him.

Underage,so he has no insurance,hefty bill for repairs

to other vehicles,for his stupid parents.
