Many things appear wrong with the security of the rider in this video, and here is just a list off the top of my head:
- Soft skin-tight speed suit instead of motorcycle-grade textile with hard armor
- Lightweight head-gear that seems to move around instead of a full-face motorcycle helmet. The first thing that happens on impact is the helmet rips off…
- No protective skin or balaclava on the rider’s face, under the flimsy helmet
- No pedaling, yet a rough/dirty surface. Why not use a smooth surface? What is this testing? Might as well drop the guy from an airplane to see how fast he falls. Would they give him a parachute?
- Separation of the headtube seems to result from hard hit and bottoming out the fork. So little range on the fork and no reinforcements for high-speed stress?
I am sure there are more, but without further ado…
