First things first. You dont perform CPR unless there are no vital sign. You guys make it seem like you think CPR is something you do to a simply unconscious person. The point of CPR is to keep blood flowing through manual compression of the chest once a heart has stopped. If you look at the video carefully, he is definitely breathing. You dont just jump on an unconscious person and start slamming on their chest.

Secondly, cars dont explode like they do in the movies.

Thirdly, the cops jobs are to secure the scene and call for EMT. Unless the person NEEDS cpr, there is little they can do, and dont want to risk further injury.

Remember you are only seeing a really short snippet of time after he is pulled out, and a very narrow shot. Its hard to judge people by that.

Lastly, yes, the suit is a douche, and the girl is hot.

true. but Cops should have checked his pulse...And none of that was shown on the video, and we don't know if they did or not.

I'm not sure it could be an 03'. If you take a close look at the steering wheel, it has controls for audio. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you could get that in an 03. I have premium package with navi on my 03 and I don't have those buttons.

You know, I'm just not convinced by something you read long ago. Stopping before contact is always preferable to sliding full speed into (or under) a moving vehicle (or other object). I learned this in (more than one) motorcycle training course, taught by professional riders and trainers. As it turns out, most bike casualties are caused by lack of awareness, either by the motorcyclist or by another driver.

I dunno why you guys are griping over what to do or not to do during a motorcycle accident. 90% of the time if ur on the cycle, ur fucked anyways, period. There is no "school taught" knowledge on how to not freak the fuck out during a split second action played during driving on a motorcycle.
...

Actually, there is "school taught" knowledge on this. Northwest Motorcycle School is one course taught by the former trainer for the King County (WA) Sheriffs department motor officers. This highly recommended training is taught 90% on-bike, and includes learning and practicing split-second maneuvers and decisions at speed. Unfortunately, many motorcyclist don't even know the proper way to do emergency stops, and even those who do have to practice often to keep the muscle memory for those situations.

Well look at the video. Even from that far away, and on a computer screen, you can see him breathing. Thats a vital sign, and a good indicator for heart function.
