This has to be one of the scariest videos I have seen in a while...luckily the critters around HPR seem to still have some fear of bikes.

Wow. :shock:

Saw this guy @ HPR during the Chicane Trackdays on the 6th, looked like he was too scared to go anywhere, which is good.

They were talking about this over on the WERA board. Pretty sure the guy was lucky and only came out with a few broken ribs. Nasty stuff for sure.

A couple of years ago I was in line to leave Pueblo during the ROR race and a pizza delivery guy ahead of me got pissed off and ignored the track official and started to cross the track!!!! I and another person in line quickly ran out in front of the guy and stopped him. He was pissed off cuz he had to wait. Not the same as a deer running out in front...But it could have been a worse out come!

No doubt.

I've had a prairie dog suicide bomb me at Second Creek and seen an elk leap out of nowhere to land on the hood of the car in front of me by Red Rocks, but that looks like just the worst of the worst cases.

Couldn't tell, but it looked like it was already laying in the track? Maybe a case of target fixation?

Glad the rider's okay, regardless.
