Nasty crash
 

I've just read that Henke Vogels has had a terrible crash and is in a
serious condition. Apparently his helmet saved him from certain death.

He was clocked at 109km an hour just before he hit the barrier. It
looked so bad that other cyclists stopped racing because they thought he
had died.

Bloody terrible news

Nasty crash
 

"Apparently his helmet saved him from certain death."

Oh no, the anti-helmet Nazis are going to swarm around you now.........

Nasty crash
 

Australian cyclist Henk Vogels is in hospital with a fractured vertebrae
and broken ankle after crashing during the Fitchburg three-day tour in
Massachusetts.

His father, Henk Senior, said the 29-year-old West Australian was in a
stable condition but was in traction until the break in his spine had
been assessed.

"He clipped a wheel and hit a guard rail at 108km per hour," he said.

Vogels' ankle was broken in three places and he also suffered head
injuries in the crash on Saturday.

He is being treated at the University of Massachusetts Memorial
Hospital.


"But the signs are good. It's only 48 hours after the event and it's not
a life or death situation," his father said.

He said the seriousness of his son's spinal injury should be known on
Wednesday.

Vogels has competed at five world road championships, the
Commonwealth Games, on the Tour de France and was 1997 Australian
Cyclist of the Year.

Easy, you go down a hill. I've clocked up 77km an hour and I don't even
have that good a bike and also I was slowing myself down.

During the Jacobs Creek Tour Down Under the riders were clocked, with a
speed gun, going down Checkers Hill Road at 100km +
