God, her play by play commentary is atrocious. This needs like a Mexican soccer announcer or those guys from the Danny Hart mountain-bike racing video.

Also, FUCK your son's Wii video game, tell the dispatcher he's got a crowbar. Favorite Part: "I'm sorry I can't calm down, I've just been robbed of everything!"

Ha! Thanks - watched it live on TV even though I should really have gone as Brands is 20 miles from my place.

I noticed it got Top 15 on the 'Sift though ... we shall convert everyone to bike racing fans!

Front brake locked. Tire slide out and dumps rider. Kind of common in bike races. The merry go round bikes after the crash is funny as hell.

didn't something like this also happen during Olympics or some bike race?

This is the Dainese D-Air system which has been in testing for over 10 years.

It was recently tested in anger by Marco Simoncelli in 250 cc class at the Valencia GP.

It looked like it worked well. Although critical injuries are thankfully few in professional bike racing, the development of this product should hopefully make it available for road/street riders and thus save numerous lives.
