  1. Aye, talking about work. Doubt he'll be heaving away on any one inch breaker bars.

  2. sorry jnestie, just goes to show that commentators at the scene do get it wrong occasionally. I couldn't believe he could get off so lightly looking at the footage and you are right of course.

  3. Even the tyco team said he was just bruised initially. Horrible crash.

  4. That footage looks like the marshalls ran straight up to him and took his lid off. I thought that was a no no.

  5. One was loosening his chin strap while the other stabilised his head: doesn't mean they were taking it off - the footage stopped too soon to tell :smile:

  8. TT marshal training includes taking helmet off as one if the fist things

  9. Amazed his leg wasn't broken or at least the knee dislocated.
    Guess it was the bike whacking into him that broke his back. That's the trouble with high-sides. Shows the value of back protection. Could have been much worse. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery Guy.

  11. I found that really interesting, and how the aero hump in the leathers causes more problems.

  12. Hell that was a big one. Hope he gets over it quickly.
