Fake is the first thought I had viewing the picture. That was done with a belt sander. Never seen anyone, including Superbike or Moto GP racers slide that far without changing position even from 180 mph. :Shrug:
It's still a pretty good "wake up" call....................Slow down and enjoy the ride!

Back in 2006, a friend & I riding our two-wheelers were headed down the Blue Ridge Parkway below Roanoke and a deer came out of the bushes.
Thank God we were only doing 35mph and not in a hurry.
My friend was about 100 yards behind me when this happened to him but he lived to ride again.
His new ride was a Trike.

On a bike a helmet is a good idea , On a Trike its iffy ....In a Slingshot its down right dangerous, If its a heavy full face helmet....And not used with a HANS Device...Which i'll bet none are...When i took a test drive in one the dealer said i had to use a helmet..Insurance Regs.. So he gave me a full face helmet and when i had to make a hard stop i though it would snap my neck...IE; Newtons first law of motion...:shock:...
Just curious why would it be hard to hold your head back in the slingshot and not on your trike. Are you saying the seat position, or the slingshot just stops way quicker than anything else you're used to driving.:Shrug:
Because you are holding on to a steering wheel strap in [Shoulder harness] a bucket seat...And it does stop on a Quarter instead of a dime [Adding for inflation]...Your feet are flat on the floor and your arms are braced on the steering wheel....Hence the bobble head affect...On a bike/tike your body still has some forward motion to compensate for the helmets weight ....
Ok that splains it. But with a roof on a three wheeler u don't need a helmet do u? I thought jersey made it a non requirement back when they had those little 3 wheel mail trucks?
