Bad crash, but some of us think the risk is acceptable!
Its a freak crash , that just happenes sometimes !

These things happen in all different situations in the average persons average day too , so you could be missing out some great fun if thats all that is stopping you do things !

yeah it is a freak crash, and a bloody gut wrenching one at that. Accidents of this degree happen a bit on the motocross track though. I've always thought you'd have to be brainless and/or fearless to race motocross!

btw I do ride dirt bikes, and take my fair share of risks..... and stacks. :

wtf was the guy doing riding ACROSS the track? He didnt even look like stopping. You can half see that if he's run off the corner and gone straight, theres a bit of time to slow down =/ or lay the bike down at least...

Maybe but i'm not so sure. He probably survived but he would have been a rehab job for a while.
