Japanese Biker Loses Leg… and Doesn’t Notice

A Japanese biker was riding his motorcycle through a curve in the road and was unable to maintain control hitting a safety barrier. The pain was excruciating for the 54 year-old office worker but not enough to halt his scenic ride just west of Hamamatsu, Japan.

It wasn’t until over a mile later, when he stopped, that he realized his leg was missing below the knee. Luckily the guys friend had witnessed the accident and was able to recover the severed leg.

The injured man and his leg were taken to the hospital but the leg was badly crushed.

Ouch! Is he on some kind of pain-killer drug? Even paper cut is painful enough for me.

You think he noticed because of the significant limp when he alighted from his motorcycle???

How the heck do you not NOTICE your LEG is missing? It’s not like you misplaced it or something? Last time I checked, it is supposed to stay with you… or did I not get that memo?

Sometimes if you cant see it you cant feel it, or the body itselves is in shock and you dont feel the pain. Happend to me once i didnt feel pain until long time after i realized i was hurt..
