Idiot-stick showing exactly zero understanding of just how easily his existence can end. 100+ MPH through traffic on a bike? Ugh.

The only time I'm on two wheels, I'm the powerplant. When someone gets pissed at me, I know they're almost certainly reacting not so much to me, but to the last cyclist who pissed them off.
How many motorists do you think this wonderful example just pissed off against motorcyclists?

I don't understand why people care about videos like this. If the guy goes splat and dies, it only matters to him and those around him (who should expect it).
This bothers me far less than people not paying attention while flying down the freeway in SUVs or land yachts. At least he's just going to kill himself. If I was against people doing things that could kill them I would have to also be against sky diving, bungee jumping, racing, etc. The list would be really long.

Too be fair when you're on a bike at all your life can come to an end real quick. I used to be a volunteer first responder and had a call for a guy on a bike who got hit by a car. Long story short, guy in car was texting and rearended the biker. An 18 wheeler put an end to his story. Nothing was really the same after seeing that.

No. Doing this endangers many other people, not just the ass on the bike. If he and his 500 lb bike hit a car going 80-100 mph, it is likely, if not guaranteed, that the passengers in that car will be injured. People are killed every year hitting 125 lb deer at 60 mph. Imagine the damage this fucktard would do.

That, and even if you're all fine physically, who wants to be the person with dead motorcyclist parts all over/under/inside their car? No one. And if it's remotely your fault (changing lanes into the ass) then you get to have guilty feeling for the rest of your life, even though your only fault was (likely) being in the way.
If he dies all by his/her self in the middle of nowhere, fine, but that don't really make for great youtube videos.

You are very confused how physics works. A person drinking a big gulp in a car at 60 MPH is carrying almost double the energy he is at 100 MPH... in fact napkin math would say he would need to be traveling about 150MPH or more to get close. Your deer analogy is assuming that the 125 lbs of the deer is key... it's the 4000lbs of the vehicle traveling 60 MPH that is key in opposition to the directionality of the deer.
I never said it wasn't a risk of any kind... it's just not a significant one. Unless he hit a low car head on and torpedoed through windshield, the odds of him injuring a passenger or driver of a vehicle is very slow. Almost nil traveling in the same direction of traffic. He will simply turn himself into a mess and damage body panels, probably no more of a risk to my safety in a car than normal day to day driving is statistically.
Would it be annoying to clean him off my car? Sure. Would it be annoying if he didn't have insurance and I had to pay my deductible? Yep. Does this somehow scare me more than the average idiots in cars on the highway? Nope. This is way more terrifying/dangerous/irresponsible in my view:
