2. And that is why I wear motorcycle specific boots. Hope she heals fast.

3. Everyone is not meant for motoring on 2 wheels 🤔

4. This also why Ankle supporting footwear while riding. Though in this case not sure if it would have made a difference…Still though it's better to have and not need, than it is to need and not have. Applies to gear as well as the rescue kits, and training. You can never learn too much, and can always learn more. Be safe out there ✌️.

5. Super bad taste vlogging in this situation, dudes a borderline useless human being.

6. Shit couldnt watch beynd that ankle deformation

7. That's a trimalleor fracture. I've had one, not from my bike but they are absolute hell to deal with. Major reconstructive surgery, and up to 3 month recovery time with 2 or more months of physio after. Wear good boots when you ride people.

8. 2:55 – great thing to remember, this symmetry thing. I have both pinkies and index fingers at a really abnormal angle from birth. Someone who doesn´t know me might think it is broken. By checking both sides, though – Dan would probably see that it´s genetic and not caused by the accident, and move on. At this stage, a broken finger is no biggie anyhow, so let´s move on…. But great point looking for symmetry.

9. Dan forgot to mention that she left her braking too late, resulting in her entering the turn at too high a rate of speed to be able to negotiate it successfully. After she heals up, she needs to learn how to apply brakes at a proper rate to avoid crashes like she experienced here. She is not ready for a Kawasaki H-2 yet.

10. Dan the fire man I seen guy on motorcycle today was only 125 cc but he had shorts trainers normal coat really no gear no idea he had either of them 😁

11. Fucked her shit up lol

12. Ya she put her foot down to stop the inevitable crash. Not smart. Her instincts are terrible. She needs new ones. The store sold out it seems. Looks like she isn't having a fun time. I buy whole milk myself. She buys skim. There's a big difference. Or should I say bone difference 😂

13. Sweatpants and sneakers. SMH

14. i once tore few ligaments in the arch of my foot by missing a stair on a staircase in a bar (go figure), and it was the worst pain in my life even tho i had few drinks in me. recovery took like 6+ months. i cant imagine how much this hurts, or if it even heals ever. i wonder if proper boots would prevent this but imho no. just unfortunate accident, dont put your feet down when youre going into a curb

15. Again Dan, thanks for risking the demonetization and opting for the teachable moment.

16. The reason you wear proper boots! This hurts to watch. 😫

17. Thanks again for all you do, these things need to be taught to riders of all skill levels.
    Was great meeting you at MMI yesterday as well! Stay safe out there,

18. How TF does a safety curmudgeon like this guy get into motorcycles in the first place?

19. And welcome too….. Danny Fireman’s “Most Painful Eliminations Of The Day”!!!

20. I'm not a proper instructor by any means, but If I'm teaching someone how to ride, no way in hell am I ever letting them out on the road without proper gear. The fact she's wearing running shoes with no ankle protection/support or anything is crazy. Who knows, maybe with the way she hit, proper footwear wouldn't have mattered… But I know one thing for sure is that it wouldn't have been worse.

    Don't know when this was, but damn I hope she's ok. I imagine that's a hard thing to recover 100% from.

21. I always carry a first aid kit with me I couldn't afford one of yours so I built my own and I went to a first aid and cpr class. I didn't take any of this stuff seriously until a good friend of mine lost his life in an accident. Knowledge is key in any situation get out there get certified learn how to properly deal with these situations it could save a life. I use to wear no gear at all just a tee shirt and my shoes. Life can change at any second when your rideing. Wear the gear so you can ride another day.

22. Hard to watch. When I first got my Grom the only boots I had were some Georgia lace up work boots that I had been using in the Halifax River (oysters are sharp as razors). Good motorcycle boots might have prevented that, but not so sure about the average work boot. No matter what we do we could still get smushed by a car. Hope everything works out for her.

23. Jesus Christ… I’ve been riding my Kawasaki ninja for only a few months now, after changing from a cruiser and before that, a scooter. It doesn’t take much to get a critical serious injury, whatever you ride. I remember the absolute first thing my dad said to me was; “never. Put. Your foot. Down.” To stop a turn or from falling. And I never have. Seems like she had little to no experience… there’s so, SO much more to riding any type of motorcycle than hopping on and rolling the throttle. It’s a whole ass skill. I hope her recovery is going well, and that they both learnt a lesson that day!

24. i love the medical but casual side of this channel, thanks alot it may be helpful in the future

25. Most of the blame would be on the instructor for letting her ride without knowing her skill level and learning capabilities. If she was a slow learner, I wouldn't let her ride anywhere where near curbs. I would have also advised her to respect the bike because even if it's relatively small, it can still cause major injuries, as what just happened, so make sure to slow down at an appropriate speed when turning. Hell, if she did that turn that fast, maybe they should have started on an open parking lot first.

    See, if there were no curbs, she wouldn't be on as much panic as she did trying to catch that turn at that speed, on her skill level.
    Respect the bike, the bike respects you.

26. Could help wearing the right equipment when riding….
    But damn thats ugly!

27. Is that the accident prone bike from Honda? I’m not riding that.

28. Oooouuch!

29. This is the kinda video that makes me very glad I just dropped some coin on some alpinestars tech 7s.

30. Shunting. The word you are looking for is shunting

31. My first bike gets delivered here in a few days and I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous about it. I don't have anyone to really teach me the basics so I've been watching your videos. Just barely had the remaining funds for some cheap basic gear (helmet, gloves, jacket). I'm excited, but definitely feeling a little more anxious about it with each day it get closer to the delivery. day.

32. Bad teacher to girlfriend. I mean, where's the moto boots? Where's the moto pants? No proper gear, a beginner should not be on a bike.

33. Riding boot commercial if I've ever seen one !!!

34. Glad to see my video reaching such a wide audience. Even I learned something new from the breakdown you did. Very informative for new and veteran riders. Peace and blessings 💪🏼💯

35. Hi Dan! Thanks for the educational feature I’m glad my accident can be a lesson to others because I would hate for this to happen to anyone else! I’m still recovering but I’m staying positive. Thanks!

36. Probably be different story if she wear motorcycle boots?

37. OH LORD NO HELP HER! thanks again DDFM, for showcasing a big big big "never-do"
    NEVER TRY TO STOP A FALLING BIKE

38. Worth point out… I can't say that Ankle Boots would've prevented injury, BUT I will point out that those are what I most commonly wear (Navy Flight Decks, specifically) and I've bounced over a curb once in a while without injury, and I've NEVER had a compound fracture in my ankle.

    The POINT is that sneakers and tennis shoes ARE NOT PROTECTIVE in the slightest. Navy Flight Decks are an industrial work boot, with oil resistant leather uppers, oil and slip resistant soles, goodyear welts, and ANSI composite toe protection. Any G.I. Surplus store should be able to get them, and so far, they're among the more value-friendly boots you can buy. Wally World also carries "Brahma" with similar grades of construction and protection at competitive prices, AND I HAVE worn those from time to time on the road, too. I look for more "abuse resilient" features at Wally World, but for less than $100, it's a decent "minimum footwear" for the price either way you wish to go… AND save up your money for the HOBBY of collecting protective gear and upgrading from the cheapest stuff you can find in the short term to the better and better protection and comfort over the long haul.

    We can't ALL just roll out of bed and buy a bike, get the license, and BECOME instantly "Shoei Gear Officianadoes"… That's not even healthy to aspire to. We CAN pick up some decent used gear to start us out, and shop around for sales, liquidations, and good deals as we build the financial where-with-all to afford at least "upper middle of the road" gear so we're not broke all to hell just for missing a judgment or evading disaster with less than perfect precision (some of the most frequent reasons I've bounced over a curb)…

    GOOD Gear (even expensive stuff) is a LOT cheaper than the hospital stay and treatment and physical therapy… even if you don't count up all the lost work and related revenue from not being physically able. ;o)

39. valuable, valuable, real life lessons. Thanks for risking demonitization to get the message across to the crew

40. Hey dan i wrote down and lost a suggested emergency responce training class online and in person. You recomended maybe in a past video can i get the link? Accident scene managment training course
