Scary Crash but good outcome

This a scary crash and I don't know how but this guy came away bruises and scrap but nothing serious. Wait till you see his bike try to eat him!

Man, that looked painful.

It is amazing that he's not seriously injured. WOW! Looks so much worse!

We were watching the MotoGP race when the announcers gave a teaser about this. Something like "stay tuned for the Moto2 race and you have to see the finish, where _______ has something crazy happen while NOT on the bike". Needless to say, we were intrigued so we watched the whole race and when we saw this you should've seen the reaction in the room! We'd dvr'd it and then went group riding and came back to watch both races and there were about 10 people in the room and I think we all said "HOLY S%#&!!!" at the exact same moment.

It's absolutely amazing that he didn't get completely crushed by that bike. I mean, it landed squarely on his rib cage after being about 6 feet in the air. Amazing!

I was watching it live on TV when it happened , very spectacular & one very lucky man........

I watched the race and when I saw that...man, made me feel so bad for him.

Bad scene man. Interesting how your bike nearly always comes after you in a bad crash. I've been sliding down the asphalt before while kicking my bike away from me as I slid. (Too many spinning parts and hot pieces to let it get up close and personal!)
Thanks for the link!

Yes my bike endo'd passed me in my crash and it happens so fast you really don't have any control in the situation. I really felt for this guy and thought he was a goner.

Very lucky, and it could have been a lot worse. Amazing how relatively short a distance he travels (sliding) in that 130+ MPH crash. And his leathers (while he's in the ambulance) appear intact too... hmmm....

 

[oferreira]

That looks like it hurt. ouch!

One of the worst crashes to watch since watching Wayne Rainey's crash that left him paralyzed - I was really thinking this one was going to turn out the same. Pretty good advert for ATGATT!!
