Wow!!!! This is not the way to get off a bike!
Especially when you're doing 230mph!
ANDRA Drag Racing - Chris Matheson Top Bike crash

-
I bet he is happy he paid a little extra for the thick leathers. Damn that wind can be tough on a person.

"Chris Matheson comes off his 370kmh Top Bike at Sydney Dragway's 2013 Nitro Champs but remarkably escapes with just a broken ankle."
Ouch!
-
-
I'll bet there is some bruising involved somewhere.
-
-
Why did he jump off a perfectly good bike?
-
-
Like they say - adrenaline is brown
-
-
At 230mph, the wind probably peeled him off when something got out into the wind flow.
-
-
The bike stayed upright. Ima hafta get me one of them car tires
-
-
It's probably still going...
-
-
Looks like he carries a little padding to help break the fall....
As my avatar says...

That was so weird....looked like the problem originated in his left hand/left arm when it was flung behind him and he then sat up a tiny bit and got plucked off by the jet stream...maybe in slow mo one can see what the issue with the left hand/arm might have been? Maybe a side-gust of wind from the left?

Why in the world would you bring politics into this? I know the left does funny things but wreck a bike nah LOL

It looked like he started to wave at someone to me.

I recently heard the ignition system somehow shorted and he was getting shocked, thru leather gloves and all!

I have a friend that dumped his Hayabusa at 154 MPH. He indicated slowing down from 154 to approx. 80-90 MPH was a piece of cake......almost no friction at all. Just skidded along his butt and back, with no tumbling or rolling.
But the 80 MPH down to the complete stop kind of wore on him.
