SUCH a nuts crash. People shatter femurs going 1/10th that speed, and he crashed through like 9 speed gates. I suppose that's why they are there though.

even at 18 seconds, hes already at full speed, or really close to it for that matter. He probably just underestimated a roller and flew off of it

you will notice that those "saftey" fences did nothing but spring him a bit higher into the air

i definatly remember that whole downhill race, that was back when i was a racer and i was way way to into racing, that corner he crashed on was a bitch sooo many people DQ'd on it. I remember getting sick to my stomach watching that.

ps. he was definatly at full speed becuase the first part of the course was this huge drop that just catapulted the racers into that tight icy curve.

he didn't underestimate it. he was taking a tighter line than everyone else ( wanted to go faster) and that close to the gate there was a lip and he hit off balance and the rest is history.

Oh yeah and the saftey nets aren't supposed to stop you they are just supposed to slow you down.
