Gruesome.

There's a photo in the link that shows the body on the sign.

Amazing his body was catapulted there on the catwalk and didn't land on another car.

What was he a "victim" of? The way the headline reads, one would think that he was a "victim" of someone elses actions. Fact is, he killed himself. Some stations/papers are getting it right by simply saying, "Driver..."

Which would have resulted in more deaths.

I agree. He killed himself and almost killed the motorist and passengers in the vehicle he hit prior to rolling over. His inexperience and recklessness got him killed. He was no "victim".

Not a 'victim', but is a poster child for not wearing a seat belt.

Play stupid games.... etc.

Poster boy for a LOT of things.
1) The interstate highway system is not your personal playground.
2) Speed kills.
3) Seatbelts are a good idea.
4) Your Ford Focus is a nice car but it is not a "race car".
5) Sign your organ donor card; stupid kills but it could save someone else.

When I was in school for my EMT license, a veteran paramedic came to our class to talk about car accidents. One of the things he said stuck with me. He said, " I've scraped a lot of bodies off the road, but I've never unbuckled a corpse."
