Police say a motorcyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a B.C. crash near the Surrey-Delta border Saturday afternoon left a motorcycle dangling from a traffic light above a busy intersection.

    Endo on its own, agreed, is not indicative of speed. Crossing most of a 4-lane intersection in 3 frames (1/10th of a second) indicates insane speed.

    The endo indicates “oh shit, I screwed up and am panic braking, and also I am bad enough at riding a motorcycle that I can’t manage my braking.”

      i agree he’s goingfast-, but endo braking doesn’t always mean oops I screwed up, it is often another driver violating a traffic law and suddenly safe riding becomes imminent impact.

      I see the bigger Indictator of speed here is how the bike reacts after impact, it still had a ton of energy to launch vertically, instead of just falling down beside the car
