Does anyone still have a copy of the large “motorcycle.jpg” picture that used to be on the site and made the rounds on the internet a few years back? You know the one. With the guy. With the missing face. In the hospital. A friend of mine tells me that guy lived. I don’t see how. E-mail to me, via my profile address. Did they ever find out if that picture was faked or not? ---

To get an e-mail that fast - - that’s actually kind of disturbing now that I think about it. 😃 ---

**Nic2004** , if you e-mail me, I’ll e-mail it to you. Don’t hot link that picture. The mods don’t like it, IIRC. ---

You’ll be getting a dupe email from me then I guess. If the other link has a better pic, lemme know. **Nic2004** , the link does not comply to the double click rule. Just go to www dot rotten dot com and click on the FAQ link. ---

Does _anybody_ think that guy could have survived? ---

I did a quick google search and found [this](http://www.timberwoof.com/motorcycle/faq/meta.html). The second to the last question mentions the picture. The author of the site says it’s not a motorcycle accident. For those who want to know: the picture’s not on the page. It’s a little too late at night for me to want to look at it. ---

[QUOTE=Askia] Does _anybody_ think that guy could have survived? [/QUOTE] To attempt that type of suicide requires a certain, very, very deep level of depression. To have that happen to such a person and have them survive, is my own vision of hell. I didn’t think he would have survived, nor did he apparently. For his sake, it might have been better if he didn’t survive. Then again, I don’t know the guy. I feel really bad for him either way. ---

I just had to look. Excuse me while I puke. For the record, the rotten people say that the guy did, in fact, survive. :eek: ---

I would think the blood loss alone would have killed that guy. Yet, in the picture he’s sitting up?!?! If it ever even happened at all, there’s no way he survived. ---

I’d love it if someone with some medical background could discuss how to deal with a tramua like this. ---

I used to have it on file. I lost it. I wanted it back. It’s freaky, man. Poor guy. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-www-rotten-com-picture-request/363017.md?page=2)
