Motorcycle accidents are often very severe for the simple reason that there’s no buffer zone between the rider and the vehicle (or the road), which makes them all the more terrifying to watch when they’re captured on tape.

You can multiply the feeling by about ten when the camera happens to be mounted on the helmet of the motorcyclist involved in the crash…

If our detective work is correct, this accident occurred on the corner of Walnut St. and South 4th Street in St. Louis, Missouri. While the video begins with a motorcycle in front doing a daredevilish wheelie, it’s the rider with the camera that will get into an accident when a white Ford truck went through a red light hitting the bike.

Luckily, the rider doesn’t seem to be severely injured, though one can never know with these types of accidents…
