Yyoooo, let me tell you. I never knew my butt-cheeks could hold me on my motorcycle until I noticed a spider crawling across my visor. At 60mph. At it wasn’t getting blown away. Which means it was inside thE HelMeTTttargghhglbargl!!

I’d throw myself into a tree just to make sure the spider died at that point

A spider will survive speedy crashes better than you would due to low weight.

That last realization would've made me shit my pants.

It would take the spider from a nuisance and "huh, dude's hanging on, crazy" to what you just described--the ramblings of a man having a cerebral occlusion as he realizes the spider is inside.

There was a brown orb weaver (fairly large spider) crawling on me while I was driving. I panicked for a few seconds and then had to remind myself that it may be bigger than a half dollar, but it's not actually dangerous. Crashing however, is dangerous.

I couldn't find where it went when I pulled over to get it out of my car.
