Damm... Was it a bad bounce after the front end came back down that made him lose the rear? What did that guy say about "Thats why you never do.. "

Not sure but that video makes you realize how important a cage is. I think if he did not have that cage, he would really be hurt.

Never fails.
Every freaking year at the same race and track there are a couple of spectacular ones.
He's very lucky the gaurd rail hold and did not come through the floor in which no cage would have saved him.

Thank God he came out ok. Any crash at any speed is dangerous and could be fatal.
