Not sure if the floor has failed and folded under?Holy s**t. What did he hit to send him flying like that?

Nah, he just hit the sausage curb
Ridiculous to have something like that on a corner surely.
To be fair they are there for a reason (to prevent drivers from cutting a corner cleanly etc) but having one on that particular corner isn't a very good idea, in hindsight.
As posted on previous page, it has since been removed.

Impossible to predict such an outcome to that scenario...

Holy s**t. Fair bit of speed to carry into a corner in the wet. Those later guys surely had an inclination to lift the foot?
Every driver after the red flag who crashed should get a 12 month ban.
That’s just stupidity.

There is a camera directly above the three cars who initially went into the sand trap.
There is vision, about 12 and a half minutes into tho video.
The cameraman saw the rest of them coming and abandoned his position, you can see him scramble from the opposite side vision. Can’t blame him.
And the cleanup was epic, love the big “shovel” lift.

I second this. Wtf was it?
can’t work it out, thought it might have been a light or camera that dropped from over head. But it looks like it was coming down the road.
The bloke didn’t even flinch.

Amazing footage.
Video is 7 years old so I assume there is somewhere that stats just what it was that came through the screen.

That crash was at the first round of the British Superbike Championship in April last year. McClung suffered several fractures in his back, a dislocated hip, fractured pelvis, bleeding lungs and head trauma. A gofundme page was set up to help him recover. He was back racing in September...
Amazed no one was seriously injured
Well, lesson learnt.
An oil flag means just that, oil!
