Looks like Guy martin's crash at ireland's Corner was quite spectacular. How can you come off of a bike at 130 MPH and have so few injuries, he must have had a lot of luck that day. I hope he continues to be lucky.
He lost control of his Tyco BMW at Ireland's Corner on the circuit as he was leading the Superbike race by less than a second from Bruce Anstey.
"I headbutted the ground at 130mph, then skidded into a dirt field and catapulted off a few things," Martin added.
"The impact I hit the ground with was massive.
"I broke five vertebrae and they had to rod my spine because I broke my sternum too. I broke five ribs and two metacarpals in right hand, too, and my hand's been plated.

"he must have had a lot of luck that day" I'll say! Both bad and good. He was unlucky to have the fall but lucky to have missed the tree that was almost in front of him as he started the roll. Guy Martin - hero! mike |
