Crazy is way too mild a term for those guys.

that looks like FUN.
though dropping the scooter looks real painful.

i don't know about that.
i guess it would depend on where the animal actually hit and size.
at those speeds the animal surely would be gone but if you keep your head control is maintainable.
the forward momentum looks tremendous.
unless maybe the wheels or you get screwed up from the hit.
i've been on bikes at fairly stupid speeds nothing like them maybe 130 best.
so long as the bike is built right they are oddly stable up there at least to me.
i've also taken a animal hit or two no fun but survivable again not at those speeds but real fast.
worst was between 4th and almost fifth (90ish) bird hit
at the time i was bending the law drag racing a little i suppose.
anyway bruised the heck outa my shoulder but i kept the rubber down.
when you do unbelievable stupid things like hammering a bike you kinda accept you might not walk away i guess.
still think it would be a blast.
