When you've seen it on "World's Extreme Videos" on TV and it pops up on Digg years later, that's sad - AngryAngryBrian, on 08/29/2008, -5/+196Do a barrel roll!

- ousthouse, on 08/29/2008, -6/+75DUGG for the slide, not for the ride...............
- jakiao, on 08/29/2008, -4/+73Saw this on a History Channel show. He ended up surviving. albeit seriously injured. That man holds the world bike speed records (think of the guy on a snow-covered mountain slope wearing a helmet you'd think belong on a soldier in the Death Star).
- bsolidgold, on 08/29/2008, -0/+53The helmet was designed for aerodynamics... not protection.
- blinki, on 08/29/2008, -5/+58ragdoll physics are known as "reality" or "physics" outside of a computer reference.
If you chose to use physics, you could further specify centripetal force, inertia and gravity. - mctom987, on 08/29/2008, -2/+53http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OSdbWLwKJE&feature ...
- Joab, on 08/29/2008, -1/+46Try turning your speaker on. Should change the effect.

- Rodalli, on 08/29/2008, -1/+40Press Z or R twice!
- Michas, on 08/29/2008, -3/+42BALLS. He has them.
- ChronicColonic, on 08/29/2008, -2/+38That Huffy you bought from Walmart SHOULD NOT be used to break records.
- gunderoo, on 08/29/2008, -6/+40don't think it's just the record that got broken
- shadeOfGrey, on 08/29/2008, -2/+25He used to.

- imnojezus, on 08/29/2008, -0/+22bsolidgold is absolutely right. The downhill ski racer's helmet offers very minimal protection even on snow, much less on rock. It's all about air deflection, not ground deflection.
- tivaelydoc, on 08/29/2008, -4/+25"It looks like he hit a rock or something."
Really? On a mountain? Didn't think about checking the mountain for rocks? - ReidFleming, on 08/29/2008, -0/+19It was on Discovery last night. He apparently decided, after a 5-year recovery (jinkies!), that he was done setting speed records.
EDIT: From the show 'Destroyed In Seconds'. - NotOptium, on 08/29/2008, -5/+24Poor bike. :/
- adkenc, on 08/29/2008, -2/+20i thought it was going to be monty python related.
King Arthur: [about the inscription on the rock] What does it say, Brother Maynard?
Brother Maynard: It reads, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Aramathia. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh...”
King Arthur: What?
Brother Maynard: "The Castle of Aaaauuuggghhhh"
Sir Bedevere: What is that?
Brother Maynard: He must have died while carving it. - seldon452, on 08/29/2008, -87/+105Buried for the title.
- OpenRevolt, on 08/29/2008, -7/+24This is old.
If you saw the show on TV it stated that it was his specially designed speed suit that actually saved his life since it has a thick rubber-like exterior.
He broke a few bones, but was otherwise okay.
The fall is more impressive in slow-motion where you can see rag doll like physics tossing his body around.
The woman screaming is his gf. - StanleyKoolPrik, on 08/29/2008, -4/+20"I meant to do that!"
- cynicalcheeto, on 08/29/2008, -1/+16A barrel roll.
- Iwantawii, on 08/29/2008, -2/+17Are you kidding me?
1) Blatant comment abuse
2) Boring me-too story
3) Accuse us all of "powering the engine" that kills people
4) "How about we learn to start caring?" - fxu1989, on 08/29/2008, -3/+17Good troll, but too obvious.

- oaktree, on 08/29/2008, -2/+13You pussy...3 stitches?!?! And you're lucky to be alive?!?! WTF! Grow a pair and get a real job.
- NotOptium, on 08/29/2008, -0/+11Looking at this guy's profile is hilarious. Go and read all the comments he's made today.
The outraged responses are fantastic too. - Marlorn, on 08/29/2008, -13/+23Buried for being incredibly old.
- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -0/+9At 107mph, you'd wanna get the ***** outta there too if you were his helmet.
- damonic, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9I was going to say "good thing he had a helmet on..." Guess that didn't help him...
- PabloMac, on 08/29/2008, -1/+10Dang Wal-Mart bikes...
- benjorino, on 08/29/2008, -0/+8No. He just broke a few ribs and his sternum.
