Humorous Video Highlights the Dangers of Hitting a Median at 75 MPH

A recent video shared on Reddit has gained significant attention, primarily for its humorous take on a serious situation—hitting a median at 75 miles per hour. The video dives into the unexpected and often dangerous encounters that motorcyclists face, featuring a comedic dialogue about the perils of riding a motorcycle.

"You hit a median going 75, which is great because you never see a median coming. They're always, they'll sneak up on you in the middle of every road, you know what I mean?" starts the video. The speaker humorously questions the rider's sanity while highlighting the typical excuses motorcyclists give for the perceived safety of their rides. "I use a blinker. I put my hand down sometimes, you know, I got a Harley. So it's extra loud, you know, and then an old man doing 80 hit me and then I almost died."

This humorous yet thought-provoking take on motorcycle accidents has resonated with many viewers. One user shared, "I have a friend who's a die-hard Harley Rider and she loses friends every year. And she says nobody gets to criticize them and she continues to ride. That's a special kind of stupid." Another added, "I had to Google what a median is, I was confused how she hit a number."

The video also touches on the common fear among parents regarding motorcycle safety. One comment reads, "My kid wants to go to Motorcycle driving school and buy one. I'm terrified and don't want them to get one but what am I going to do? Forbid my adult kid from riding?"

Despite the serious undertones, the video has a light-hearted approach that has left many laughing. Comments like "This one got a genuine laugh out of me. It's great! We all know (or at least heard of) that one motorcycle rider," and "Funny!" show the clip's wide appeal.

However, not everyone was impressed. Some comments were critical of the video's format and pacing, noting, "What's the point of adding captions if they move so fast that they are impossible to read?" and "Where’s the joke."

The video, likened to "the Australian break dancing of comedy" by one viewer, continues to spark conversation and debate about motorcycle safety and the risks involved.

For those interested in a blend of humor and cautionary tales, this video serves as both an entertaining and eye-opening piece, reminding everyone of the unexpected dangers lurking on the roads.
