I see a thread about red flag restart but no mention of Hardy. I would have posted this there but the conversation in that thread is about restart procedures and not much traffic. Hope he is ok.

Somehow lost the front on the way up the big triple. Body bounced off the face of the jump and got catapulted. Showed some footage on the broadcast but it wasn’t real clear what happened with the bike.

Wondering too. I was there and didn't see (from a distance) him move at all. We were worried sick about him. Read in the other thread he was up and walking though...has that been confirmed?

I never saw him up and walking just waving from a stretcher. Haven’t heard any updates either.

“As some of you know, I went down in the first moto which took me out for the rest of the weekend. My head and face is what took most of the hit which put me unconscious for a few minutes on the track. I have a concussion and a broken nose. Unfortunately I won’t be able to race the last round.”

He was released from the hospital Saturday evening.

He was knocked out and in the state of Maryland, a loss of consciousness means an automatic
Helicopter ride. According to a source, who spoke to the the medic, the facial injuries he had were pretty gnarly and the helmet definitely saved his ass.

Holy shit !!!

Thankfully he'll be okay.

 

Kind of thankful now they stopped the race to deal with him.

I'd rather they have a hair trigger and red flag the race than try to dance around bikes helping seriously injured riders.

He must’ve been wearing the helmet wrong if it saved his ass and left his face looking like that😉

Savage! Great News!

Good to hear he will back sending it soon. He looked like he was getting ready to break through the last couple weeks.

That was a good call here. No way to know if he had a brain bleed.

I saw the footage of the crash on Instagram and I can't for the life of me remember who's page it was on. Violent crash. Spectators said he was bleeding from his eyes

It looked bad glad he's ok. On another note..... I think the ama should have a staggered restart where they start in their original order. Especially that far into the race. Just my opinion

Would love to see the helmet. Curious how he got that much trauma to the face if everything fit and worked like it should. Dead man without it though.

C'mon fellas...it's not like he was wearing a pudding bowl.  There is NO safety equipment that can protect 100%.  Let's say his injuries could have been much worse without it.  Heal up Bud.

What helmet was Weston Peick wearing when he got his injury in France? All our gear reduces not remove the chance of injury.

Leatt is definitely a company that emphasises safety over looking cool, so can’t bag on the brand of helmet. A face into a jump and that speed is going to be gnarly regardless. Glad Hardy is going to be ok.

He was in a FLY helmet for that.  I believe it was the F2 Carbon model at the time.  I don't think it was the FLY Formula helmet yet when that happened.

The FLY Formula has been around for well over a decade. 

The Rheon and AIS came later around 2019.
