Motorcyclist Is So Into His Ride That He Doesn’t Notice His Leg Has Been Severed

The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into a safety barrier, severing his leg below the knee, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his lower right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.

The man and his leg were taken to a hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision, the paper said.

JOKESTARTERS:

• When told of his mistake, the victim got “hopping mad,” according to eyewitnesses.
• On the bright side of things, at least the motorcyclist will now be eligible to enter the famous Tokyo One-Legged Ass Kicking Contest; he also just cut his toenail-clipping responsibilities in half!
