Big OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Beebo]

Not alot you can do when the frame fails, can you take it back and claim a warranty replacement?
But, why wasnt he wearing a full face helmet, or motorbike helmet?

 

[Globalti]

It's those cheap Chinese forks again....

 

[Dangermouse]

If you watch the slomo its the rear tyre that fails and causes all the carnage

In the reverse angle shot, the rear tyre still looks intact as the rear half of bike flies off. Looks like straightforward downtube failure directly behind or at the headtube junction to me.

Yes it does, looks like the rear wheel goes into soft dirt making it look like a failure and the frame breaks......still nasty whatever the cause

Now I know why I stopped going down the steep bit at the side of that viaduct in Conisborough.
