Long division
Already posted the "lighter" stories, here's the more unpleasant one.

My family used to live near a main road that runs through a small village. Everyone tends to take it because of the big market there, and so on the weekends particularly it's really rather busy. It's also one of the worst black spots for motorcycle accidents, it has a weird ranging set of speed limits, it's on an incline and due to the way the wind blows, it can get very icy very quickly. It gets closed relatively often due to someone who's come off their bike, or hit someone else.

And these accidents usually aren't pleasant. I've been driven past a couple... one where there was no blood on the road, and the motorcyclist just... lay there. Almost peaceful.

And then there's the other one. I only saw it for a few seconds, but that was enough. Nearly made me throw up. It wasn't even that much that I saw but... two separate tarpaulins over what was clearly one motorcyclist, with a little blood between them. A good couple of metres apart. But there didn't seem to be any other vehicles stopped, just the ambulance/police. Nothing on the verge, or the side of the road that I could see.

What the hell happened to the poor bastard? How the hell could he rip himself in two without another vehicle involved? I can't see them removing the vehicle from the scene of the accident that quickly. It's a question I don't want to think about.

A motor cyclist hit a curb near my house
when going round the bend in the road. His flying body hit one of those bracing wires for telegraph poles and was sliced (not very neatly) in two.

There were absorbent patches of sand over the pavement for a while.

trees, wires, getting tangled in his own bike, lots of (gruesome) ways.
lots of ways.

If there's a crash barrier there, then the space between the support poles is just about enough to get a flailing body part caught in. I've seen the aftermath of an accident where a motorbike enthusiast slid his bike at very high speed and managed to hit the crash barrier. It tore his head off. One one hand it's a horrific sight but on the other I bet it was quick for the poor bastard.
