whoever assembled the bike just hit the unemployment line.

Which people are stupid here? I fail to see how a guy trying to go fast on a bicycle is stupid. He wore protective gear, had plenty of people on hand to take care of him if something went wrong, etc.

I think it's pretty idiotic that you think this guy is stupid.

I'm not surprised his bike couldn't withstand the pressure. I'm more concerned with why his helmet flew off after the first bounce.

Yea when I saw his head flying around with no helmet I felt like slapping him silly. Did he start off with one? Man that must have been some force to snap the frame like that. Usually the frame will bend, but not completly snap. Must have been just the right angle. Man he got farged up!

MadMarchHare · May 11, 2006, 08:55:00 AM

Oh yeah, he starts with one. Hitting the ground at 163 KMH might knock it off. But you'd hope not. He looks pretty concussed in the aftermath.

The fork snapped off the bike. That is a pretty typical failure for extreme bicycling.

mussa · May 11, 2006, 09:01:53 AM

wasn't just the fork, it was the entire front end, handle bars and all. I'd call that the frame Mr.

MURP · May 11, 2006, 09:05:23 AM

Huh. Well, maybe you're right. I'm not watching it over again just to see. Point is, the ride put the bike under extreme stress. Any frame might fail under that. I have a friend who races mountainbikes downhill professionally. He's snapped a dozen frames, easily.

too bad there wasnt a ramp on that hill.

ice grillin you · May 11, 2006, 10:02:47 AM

or a brick wall at the finish line

The first guy made it and was going 163km and hour. That's 101 mph on a bike...
