The potential for injury in motorcycle racing is insane. Once thrown from their bikes, riders essentially become human speed bumps, and the further ahead a rider is at the time of the accident, the greater potential for them being a.) run over by fellow riders, and b.) causing additional horrific accidents in the process.
in the clip below, disaster seems to pass Toni Elias by; crashing on a curve, flying into the safety of the outfield, with his bike flung far away from him to avoid the cannonball effect of the bike crushing him into the haystacks.
Yet the intense speed of the accident and resultant force was enough to snap Elias' femur, the biggest bone in the human body, like a toothpick. The track (in the unfortunately named town of Assen) was bad luck for Elias last year, as well, as he crashed out after just four laps that time.
The also unfortunately named Casey Stoner finished first in the race, if you're interested in more than just the broken bones and spectacular accidents of professional motorcycle racing.
