    eek I'm pretty sure the helmet is meant to stay.

    Far out that must have hurt! I'm sure helmets are designed to stay on, this one was ripped straight off!

    It's Franco Uncini from about 1982 if I remember correctly, and Wayne Gardner was the Honda RS500 rider who unfortunately almost took his head off. Back then Uncini was the reigning 500cc champ on his Suzuki.

    great website, now i've found something else apart from KB to keep me amused when i should be working.
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    That hurt just lookin at it
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    I'm pretty sure he survived...not sure how functional he was though.

    Jeebus!!!!

    It'd be incredible if he came out unscathed from this one. But if he'd had no helmet

    Full story: in 1983, at Assen he was struck in the head by Wayne Gardner's bike. He went into a coma but, eventually recovered. He retired from motorcycle competition after the 1985 season.

    thats pretty rough.
    did anyone see last year in the motogp where one of the 250 guys crashed and his bike was in the middle of the track and then another one came flying round the corner and hit the bike on the ground and did crazy summersalts.
    that looked pretty bad, shattered pelvis wouldnt be nice.
