techno Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 He still has some way to go before he beats Lorenzo's from laguna!Did say end of the session that rider was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatDad Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Is it me or were they moving him before they'd put a neck brace on. I know he had his head supported but I thought the neck brace was usually place on before any movement. Maybe para can clear this up.

Guest Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Helmet has to come off first - and they were rolling him onto a spinal board prior to immobilisation (hopefully), but it does highlight my worries about the 'speed hump' style of leathers. Can you see the angle his head is at compared with the natural alignment of his spine?Scary stuff - especially when you see so many power rangers with them on the Queens Highway any given Sunday.

Evs7 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 An even scarier point is, if you look carefully in slow motion at one point his head has been forced to almost a 90 degree angle to his body. bloody lucky he didn't break his neck.JT keeps landing on his head though. He clearly needs some flying lessons from Lorenzo who always lands on his ankles. Stop landing on your head JT you don't want to brain you damage. All joking aside though that was nasty and I'm very glad to hear that JT is on the mend.Another point is though have you noticed that it's only the Yamaha's that snap out of line like that. I reckon Yamaha need to go back and look at the code behind their traction control systems because no Ducati, Honda, Suzuki, Hayate (Kawasaki should be called kawa-sacked-me ) rider has such violent spills.
