Why you should carry a knife.

Great video, thanks for sharing. That could easily be me. I love bikes and knives both.
 
Thank you for sharing this. I'm sure most of us use our knives daily, but this is why everyone should carry some sort of knife every day. If this was the one and only time you had to use your knife carrying it every day would be worth it.
 
I also ride a bike and I also carry a knife (or two!) with me at all times...

Cool video ;)

I'm all for knife love; but, if that guy hadn't been there, she would have been out within a minute or so, anyway. The ambulance arrived right behind the guy, and EMTs/Paramedics were the ones assisting the girl as she climbed out the vehicle. Those trauma shears would have cut through the seatbelt more easily than his his knife did.

Still - he's the one that cut her free
(my apologies for introducing reality)
 
Allz well...
Mary and Ernest have been involved in knife-rescues, also.

That's kind of like passing an accident and saying "Someone probably called for help already, I'll just keep driving." The motorcyclist didn't see any ambulance behind him or knew that help was on its way. He acted instinctively and jumped into action as we all should.

The Motorcyclist is someone you would never read about in a Newspaper, except on a slow BAD NEWS DAY. People do step up and get involved in helping others, but more peoppple need to help their fellow man.

To this day I am not sure who was the HERO who help my in 02, after a women made a left infront of my Harley. I wound up under the bike, pinned, with a gas tank leak. Someone help me up, and lifed the Harley off me. Never stayed long enought for me to say thank you too. Could have nbeen some gardian angle, as I don't recall the person face.
 
A buddy of mine who is a long time Harley rider (as I am) was riding alone in a small town in upstate NY.

As he was slowing to stop for a red light, a bee stung him in the face. He said as long as he had been riding, this was not the first time that had happened and other than being annoying it was no big deal really.

This time however, everything was different. He had a severe allergic reaction and actually passed out and fell over as he was coming to a stop. The next thing he knew, he woke up in a hospital room.

When he finally figured out how he got there, it turned out three long haired dudes in a van pulled over. They picked up the bike & put it in the back of the van & then raced him to a nearby hospital (the doctor told him they probably saved his life).

When he asked what happened to his bike, the doctor told him that these guys gave him the keys to it (it was a mega bucks custom Harley) & told him to "make sure nothing happens to it".

The doc told him it is parked in the doctors lot which is constantly monitored & would be perfectly safe until he was released.

The guys left without leaving their names & he never found out who they where.

I absolutely love this factual story. We (read "I") need to learn to have more faith in people..

Introducing reality...... Really? Not so much.

The reality is in every single car crash it is "ordinary people" who are on scene first. Usually for a good amount of time before the emergency services can get their. I'm sure she was turned over for a while before both the biker and ambulance showed up and if one of the people who were already their had a knife she would have been out before the biker even pulled up.
 
Wow.. Great stories guys.. I love hearing about people who do kind acts! Awesome Video as well.

Always carry!
 
Cool! It's just great to see people willing to help! A knife is a great tool to simply have on person all the time.

That may be true for this case, but help isn't always available. There was a little girl who died in a car fire a few years ago because no one was able to cut her free.
