I'm not hip to the famous crashes of IoM. Are we watching people die? If yes, then the warning seems appropriate.

You see a rider get run over at 0:38.

Not sure what the outcome here is, but that's been enough to kill plenty of other riders. I appreciate the warning before I watch a video where someone dies.

at 3:30 you start getting into real brutal crashes. Content warning is totally valid here.

I appreciate a warning before I watch a video with music this terrible as well.

What was the gory website back in the day? Might still be in existence.... rotten.com I think it was. That was some fucked up shit. I remember watching the Daniel Pearl beheading there. That'll mess with your head.

There were a few - rotten, ogrish, r33t, a few others.

now you can just go to /r/watchpeopledie. kids have it so easy these days!

If that's your thing. I tried to watch the Daniel Pearl video. turned out the edit that I watched had a black box that popped up as soon as the blade came down and covered the action. I still felt sick for a few hours, and I guess that told me that I jsut don't have the stomach for that sort of thing.

Photos are fine for me, but the video is something else.

Yeah, I got curious at the moment. It was the sounds with the video that really made it awful.

Speaking of:
On March 21, 2002, in Pakistan, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and three other suspects were charged with murder for their part in the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl. They were convicted on July 15, 2002, and Sheikh was sentenced to death. Sheikh has appealed the sentence. On April 2, 2020, Sheikh's murder conviction was overturned by a Pakistani court, and his death sentence was reduced to seven years' time for his kidnapping conviction, previously served.[34][35]

I heard Rotten.Com was still around, but I am afraid to look. :laughing

Years of working on a farm with the annual 75-100 chicken butchering and processing extravaganza, cow dehorning and castration, and more removed any temptation to pursue additional gore in my life beyond what's inevitable.

There was no way I wasn't going to be in the room during my daughter's c section birth though!

I don't think the rider was struck by the camera bike, just the banner he tore loose, but that was dam close! There are a hand-full of nasty ones starting at 3:18

Above all I like to play.
Yeah, I'd want a warning for that too.

I was surprised by the editing with the introduction of the "crashes section". It felt joyous and enthralling to watch and then turned on a brutal dime for some things that made me wonder if the rider survived.

AND that's my reaction when I knew what sort of thing I'd see already.

I think the editing was done rather well and it used that story-pivot well, reminding us that even with the thrills, it's often going to be tied in with tumult.

Call me a Pansy, but I cannot watch ANY of that stuff.

I'll stick to my cooking/recipe videos.
