He must've snapped the skewer while bouncing up and down on the front wheel
or doing some other crazy mountain biker stunt. Can't imagine how else
(barring utter stupidity) that could happen.

It could also be a set-up for an ad photo.....???

And now you know why bike forks come with "Lawyer Tabs"

I thought that at first too. But, it seems unlikely to me that any company
would want to advertize in this way - I don't wanna buy bikes that come
apart, or wheels that come off!

It could be a staged photo from an ad for an ambulance chase... opps,
scumba..., I mean "Personal Injury Attorney". You know the kind where
the caption says "We got $23 million for this poor unfortunate soul, and
can do the same for you" (if you pay attention and set things up right).

David,

What a company wants to do is get your attention.....I think this photo did
that. I do not think they were selling either bikes or wheels....Insurance
perhaps???

And those tabs MAY not prevent the ejection of the front wheel under
braking on disc brake equipped bikes. There is currently a lengthy and
heated discussion on this subject in rec.bicycles.tech. Of course, if
the quick release skewer fails, retention tabs will not hold the wheel on.

One solution is a bolted on wheel with single-sided mounting for easy
tire removal. Need I mention that the Earth Cycles Sunset Lowracer has
this feature?

Hans "No Way" Rey strikes again!
That's one of his "regular" bits that us mere mortals just watch and say "No
way!".
One hell of a rider, IMHO. I've seen video of him riding through & over
almost anything - front wheel optional!

Tom:

This is a very rare picture of the new Cannondale "long-profile invisible
offset fork," fabricated out of a new material that's only visible to a few
insects and birds. The "opposing cant" of the front and rear wheels allows
for the stability required to leap substancial barriers. There's also an
easy conversion kit for recumbency.
