This dashcam footage from a highway in Minnesota shows exactly why motorcycle drivers need to be so careful, especially when following a larger vehicle carrying items which aren't securely fastened. 

There are two lessons in this footage:

First, please, for the love of God, secure all your items stored outside the car. Stuff flying off of cars is never a good thing. I know from experience.

Second, if you're on a motorcycle, you have to be extra hypervigilant to avoid stuff like this happening, which is sad, because this dude was not at fault in this scary looking wreck.

The motorcycle driver wound up with only minor injuries, and because of this video, the driver of the vehicle towing the boat has been cited.
