"F@$k this shit, get the jaws of life " I would rather replace the swing arm than slide that tire out of the swing arm.

Is it just me or does the guy in red seem to be the one that's feeling the pain? The other guy looks like he's just sitting down and smiling while looking at his fucked up leg.

LOL at the guy with the wrench wearing medical gloves.

I have had my left arm sucked into the rear end before. Never a leg though.

I Can't tell from those pics above , and am wondering if either of them actually broke their leg from that? The first pic looks like it anyways. Poor freakin' dude!

We were sitting right above the start straight at Indy that year when this happened. It was so crazy to see it live. I'll never forget bikes flipping and watching Hotsauce get dragged

Easier than you might think. Get a foot stuck in the spokes and that wheel will carry your whole leg though until it jams up too tight for the motor to handle (thankfully this guy's bike stalled when it did! It actually looks like the wheel turned about a half revolution after the boot got wedged in there.)

I fell on a friend's rear tire once and that thing stuffed me up under the fender faster than I could say "ouch!" Kind of like the Tedesco vid above, except it was my right arm and my head sticking out under the exhaust.

Bolt cutters to the spokes. Saw this happen to a friend in the '80's.

I rember 10th st Marysville in 'bout 76 as far as possible from the scorers this happened in front of me (corner flagger 12yrs old).
I yelled and screamed as loud as I could waving my flag and it wasn't till the next moto damn near finished that this poor bastard got help. He was screaming louder than I ever could ..Sad
Yeah I remember it some 40yrs later ... felt like shit that day. Hope you're ok Mr Racer ... I tried.
