Taking your hands off the bike is your best bet of survival though. If you're holding on to it in a crash, youre absorbing the bike's impact in your arms which will practically shatter every bone at that speed. Think about it, 170 - 0 mph in a quarter second will kill you.
I might be wrong because I don't know this man personally but I think he took his hand off the "handle bars" because he lost control well before he hit the wall so he didn't break both his wrist and arms with the impact! I'm into any racing which ever machine u pick, it's the race it's self that's exciting not what you do it on.
@rc8rsracer idk bro i thought i remember that this guy was pushing like 40, not that that is old but sometimes enough is enough for some people, they just get to a point where they've had their fill. I hear what you're saying though it's hard to say when or if I will ever reach that point with riding myself.
@11sagar11 please.. if u can't see that he hit the wall before he looses his grip,and u can't listen to the man saying that.. would u think that somebody would put his hands off the steer on 170 mph????
@Shuyin128MK4 only referrers to the singularity of the 1 thing. The single thing was the bruised lung. If it had been a bruised lung and a broken fingernail, he would not have said only because there are now 2 items. Before you criticize, learn english fucking prick.
@csimonism lol rly? the first thing u do when u bump into the wall is throw ur hands into the air like ur showing off? hmmmmm. that does suck though... i wish him the best.
Milky quayle is a legend. He retired from racing after this off but is still a top man. You guys taking the piss on here should try a lap of the TT circuit then see if you think it is funny.
@HoTgAmEs123 He wasn't trying to show off, he hit the wall and his hands slipped off the bars... Nobody would attempt riding no hands round a bend at 170mph... Especially since this is a race not a circus show.
the guy was on one of the TT shows a few months back, walking the presenter through the crash, the distances he travelled after coming off the bike ar unbelievable
This is not something to make fun of, no matter how he behaved.
You people never think of that man's family and all just post stupid comments. As much as he's an idiot, someone wants him alive. Nobody wants to leave behind a widow and little kids with no father.
I wouldn't want to ever try Isle of Man TT. Not only the blip off the wall, the front wheel also came up, controlling that in a turn is no easy thing at any speed. Ouch.
Richard survived, it was a crap moment in his life though. It is only posted as 170 MPH as dozy Americans seem to be drawn to the numbers, the accident corner was way below 170. No doubt it was a world of pain but I would prefer that to being brain dead like the majority of the posters! Total imbeciles...oxygen thieves.
@ktmfreek how is that funny? thats fucking aweful, someone lost their life or will never be the same after the accident and thats entertaining to you?
Shit heads when you are hit by a wall at 170 you tend to move your body in funny spots to aviod doing the same thing again,,,he puts his arms out of the way.....and he crashed
@nazar1712 You will notice on the onboard camera that the force from hitting the wall makes the front of his bike jump, he hits the wall before he does the "wheelie".
the only reason he was riding no handed is because he clipped the wall before the turn. you must be an idiot to miss that not him. he misjudged the corner and clipped the wall, that stunned him and forced him to let go of the handle bars...
@miomirm Actually, not as stupid as it first seems. He probably knew he had no option but to lose the bike once his shoulder touched, so chances are the raised arms were probably part of him trying to come off the bike in a way that minimises injury - ie. trying to move them into a position on your body where they don't flail about.
@phishingword if u watched it all you'd see he'd already clipped the curb arund the corner and was sent towards the wall. he already knew he was crashing so his arms were probably up bracing for impact whilst he was thinking OH SHI-
what a girl? this was the isle of man TT, one of the most dangoures racing events in the world, he was doing 170mph when he crashed, that kills most people, he isnt a girl, he is damn lucky to have gotten away with just a bruised lung. I would like to see u hop on that bike and do the same thing as quick if not quicker than him
@ACEDcomputers Surviving a 170mph crash into a concrete wall doesn't constitute manliness? Instead he should have taken his vehicle, who's grooved rubber wheels require friction to accelerate and turn, and drove it around on fucking ice? You are an idiot.
Anytime you increase the speed, you increase the risk. He's lucky to have survived, and smart to have decided to call it quits, in my opinion. Though he could have gotten back on the saddle again, he knew that the odds of ending up worse next time were much higher than him walking away again.
legend were you born yesterday? Most of these bike cost more than your life. Corvettes are for douche bags who think they own the road and they are no where worth the money because they and shitty and break down all the time.
@jaXattaXxXx I'd say riding a motorcycle is "pussy"ish since it's cheating. You wanna really ride, use your muscles, lungs and legs and ride a bicycle, like a real man!
ok yes, bicycle riding does require alot of prep work and does require u to use ur muscles, i ride bicycles alot, but believe it or not, racing a motobike is just as tiring as a long bicycle ride, your shifting the whole weight of the bike around and then you making your self as tight and small as possible on the bike which tires out your muscles alot. and your going alot faster than a bicycle.
@poatyinmypants if you watch before the crash he taps the inside wall witch knocks the bars out of his hands and puts the front tire up nothing he could do but pray at that point just thought id point it out he wasnt showing nothing off bad clip with the wall before he hit the outside wall
