Sidecar motorcycles are anything but stable as speed builds up, but it looks like some need to crash before acknowledging this fact.
Problem is, crashes involving sidecar motorcycles tend to be very bad, because of the very architecture and dynamics of these vehicles. I've seen sidecars tipped at fairly moderate speed because the operators had no clue on how the weight shifts aboard these machines.

And what was even worse was the fact that some of these crashes ended up with broken limbs and injuries which would've been less likely to occur with two-wheelers.

So that's why seeing these two squids unscathed as their bike flips is kind of weird. Lucky, but weird. I bet the next time it's an ER ending...
