Its obviously a riding school, look at the crash frames on the side of the bike.

     The guys behind are waiting to "do what I do thing"

     I can not imagine how badly maintained a bike needs to be to have such a simple yet catastrphic failure like that.

    Again obviously a real mickey mouse company as the trainer don't need a helmet,---well he thought he did'nt.   I would take a bet that he doesnt think that way anymore.

   Who was it that said "dorks always get in in the arse"   oh thats right --it was me!!

Those side cages are standard on stunt bikes, they get dropped far too often.  The only way I can imagine the fork failing like that is metal fatigue after doing this 11ty billion times and who know how many drops.

But if you all are so insistent on people wearing helmets when stunting then I present my favorite YouTube video:

Who needs helmets??? Anybody that rides a motorcycle.    In my 40+ years of riding motorcycles, I have broken more bones than I care to count, but the headbone is still basically intact.  I would not coast a motorcycle the length of my driveway (about 75 feet) without having my bash hat/brain bucket securely buckled on.

My doctor who is a long time friend just left my room (I am NOT making this up). This past year he had a guy come into the ER dead whose bike just fell over. Think about what speed your head would have accelerated to between you sitting upright  and getting whipsawed into the ground.

Whip sawed or whip lashed --A heavy helmet can break your neck.

     But I have no choice I would get about 100yds before I was stopped by  Plod  so whats the point.

    I see some pillions riding with the helmet under their arm!! now that is dumb.

    We have hundreds of motorcycle taxis here so no one wants to use a smelly helmet which is your only choice.

Hey Kevin, are you okay?  What's up with this hospital stuff?  I hope all is well.

Helmets:  Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second every second (or 32 feet per sec every sec).  The vertical fall is the same whether you are moving horizontally or not.  Of course, falling while doing 60mph and then hitting your head on a tree or something is even worse!
