What would your last words be to your loved ones? In touching videos taken on his cellphone, Kevin Diepenbrock, 41, originally from Greenville, Texas, says his final goodbyes to his family after he and another motorcyclist crashed on a stretch of U.S. Highway 129 known as “The Dragon” on Oct. 15, 2016, and tumbled down a rocky embankment. Diepenbrock, who suffered two punctured lungs, 17 breaks in 12 ribs, and multiple spinal fractures, was found more than 24 hours after the crash. The other motorcyclist, Phillip Polito, 29, of Perryville, Mo., died. (Video courtesy of Kevin Diepenbrock)

So sad
died?
?
If he's on his cell phone on his camera why won't he call for help?? but emergency calls work even when there is not cell service
Fair play to the guy like a trooper not screaming in pain wen he was fucked up n at least he got chance to say goodbye not many if us do bet it was shit hearing people n not being able to move…god bless him thank God he was found
Dumb fuck, should have killed yourself also.
This was purely a consequence of his own stupidity. Unfortunately Darwin didn't take over and eliminate him. Play stupid games Win stupid prizes. In addition this all kind of sounds a little fake to me. Yes I know there are places where there are no cell phone signals but that's like Antarctica.
The dragon is a long winding road that stretches from Maryville TN to Robinsville NC. I used to take this road every morning to deliver car parts to companies from TN to NC this is a real video because he was admitted to the nearest ER in Tennessee.
This is very sad watching this. I’m sure he believes in God now. I hope he’s doing well? ❤️???
Noooooo don't go ??????
fuck all that, imma die trying to make that 50 ft into 2 ft. did they not tell anyone where they were going??
RIP?
Who had tears in their eyes? We all need to love more.
That's why I got off that 2 wheeled body bag and never gave it another thought
? ?
We all need Jesus. The Bible is the only way to go with our vapor lives. Jn. 3:16 and all of St. John is awesome.
SO LONG….LOL
