00:00The Rizal Highway
00:03The view is fresh and beautiful.
00:05It is not surprising that the most favorite highway for riders or motorists is the Marilake Highway in Rizal
00:12that goes through Manikina, Rizal, Laguna and Quezon.
00:20This highway is also known as The Devil's Corner
00:24Because of the zig-zag road here, it is frequented by motorcycle riders who like thrill.
00:34What's more, if you ride, you'll think you're a stuntman in an action film.
00:48Just like the video taken by a vlogger,
00:51you can see the riders running and doing stunts.
01:03But according to Physical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Specialist, Dr. Hubert Kuo,
01:08it is not easy for the riders to do tricks like the Marilake Highway
01:16because it is a dangerous road.
01:21With regards to banking, you need to understand that race bikes are different from road bikes.
01:35Specifically, I'm talking about their wheels.
01:38The wheels of race bikes are actually fitted to avoid skidding,
01:45to avoid accidents, unlike the normal road bikes we use.
01:51You can see a rider putting his hand down on the road while riding
01:57until he slowly lost his balance and fell down.
02:05Doc warns that such accidents are likely to result in serious injuries.
02:10Of course, if you have an impact, we can have a traumatic brain injury or a head injury.
02:22If your head is hit, it can cause a fracture that can pass through the brain
02:27or can cause hematoma formation or blood in the head.
02:31And when this happens, our brain can be compressed.
02:35It will lead to loss of consciousness, memory loss, personality change, or weakness.
02:50If the impact is severe, it can lead to paralysis.
02:55If the spinal cord is hit in the neck, thorax, or in the back,
03:01it will lead to spinal cord injury, leading to long-term paralysis.
03:06It means that we won't be able to move our legs or arms.
03:13And Doc Ubert always reminds our riders,
03:16before you prepare anything, be careful on the road.
03:23If we want to join motorcycle racing or we need to do banking,
03:29then what you need to do is always wear protective gears.
03:32Wear a helmet, wear elbow pads, knee pads to protect yourself.
03:37Use the right kind of bike.
03:39Use a race bike, not a road bike.
03:42We have designated places where we can race.
03:46We can race on the right asphalt, on the racetracks,
03:51so that we won't get into accidents and get scratched.
03:55Ride safe, Kapuso!
03:57Remember, safety is the priority.
04:01To avoid accidents and to have a smooth ride.
