Biker fails to notice missing leg

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUST13970120070814?feedType =RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews

TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for more than a mile, leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.

The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.

The man and his leg were taken to a hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision, the paper said.

what i need help with is: how can i read that and still have faith in humanity?????

Ouch, that must’ve sucked. Sometimes people just don’t notice things though through all that pain.

Because it just happens. Doesn’t mean you have to “lose faith in humanity”. That’s like saying, “OMG, my car is broke. I’m never going to drive a car again.”

MC, wha? That’s kinda rude.
