Terrifying motorcycle crash at the Daytona 200

This is a new video with a more clear angle released by SPEED. Josh Herrin and Dane Westby were dicing away, fighting for position on the high-banks of the final lap when herrin's left elbow came into contact with Westby's brake lever, locking up the front brake at over 170 MPH, with predictably disastrous results. Westby goes down, taking Taylor Knapp with him. After sliding into the gravel trap down in the midfield, they both walk away.

Interesting, but I wouldn't say terrifying. At least not to the viewer. The ones I call terrifying are when the riders are doing cartwheels and more bikes are plowing into them. That's what I expected from the title.

Well, I'm a rider and the thought of going over my handlebars at over 170 miles per hour terrifies me. I'll be sure and ask Westby and Knapp to next time make sure their crash is more spectacular for your benefit.

Hey, I'm just throwing out an opinion here, as a viewer. Those guys look like they're sliding on ice, which is not very terrifying to watch.

Much closer to "terrifying":
