Oh man... :Q:Q

If that would've happened just a little different, he wouldn't have much of a head left...

Here's another oldie, but goodie.


Link.

I remember watching the 1st one happen on the speed channel. The bike wiht all the smoke coming out of it blew the oil cover off the crank case, and emptied all it's oil on the track, something like 6 or 7 bikes wiped out there.

Ok the isle of Man one the dude died from the crash. Apparently something like 3 or 4 people die on that course every year.

Wow, I didn't know the guy died. In this version it shows him skidding, apparently after bouncing off the wall.

The Isle Of Man is a wicked hellcat. I used to enjoy watching Joey Dunlop dominate that course.

That first video kicks ass. Having been in many different wrecks, lowsides, highsides, collisions and "ran out of roads" in the 20 years (on and off) that I've been riding, I can say "I know what that feels like!" :Q

The part where the guy goes back-first into the orange barrier and the bike FLIES right over his head by like 1 inch is scary as heck.

Towards the end, there's another shot of a different guy (I think it's a different guy) where the bike actually hits his helmet and skims over it. :Q

Anyone see last week's MotoGP race?
Daijiro Kato's rear tire blew out at the end of the straightaway at Monza, leading to him being launched off the bike at 200mph!!!! amazingly he survived w/ only soreness and bruising..it was amazing to see him bouncing and flipping down the track and then have no injuries!

If the guy hadn't bounced off the wall before the bike flew into it he would have been shattered.

Ummmm, no. But I did see the video of Shinya Nakano. What's amazing is how many times his head smacks the ground and then the emergency worker immediately wrenchs his helmet off.



-edit-


And unless there's another Daijiro Kato, he died last year.

Katoh died last year... :( #74

I think Daaavo is right... you're probably talking about Nakano... he had a rear tire blow out at Mugello.

I haven't even watched the video yet and I think I know which one it is. I saw it too on the speed channel the day the race happened. It was a sharp turn at the end of a straight where it happened. Crazy.
