I agree that he should have been more observant, but the defect should
not have been there.
It is possible that he would have a claim against network rail, at the
very least he should put a claim in for damages & losses incurred.

Indeed. I use a similar crossing (but without the gaps) twice a day, though I doubt that I've ever been as close to the central white line as that picture shows.

He did a faceplant and was apparently the victim of head injury. Funny
old world.

You're not allowed to say that here, even with the e replaced by and
asterisk. You can still make out the offensive word.

You can say it here and you'll even be able to say it - in full -- on
rcm. I've yet to see anything that indicates otherwise.

"landing on his face"

"My helmet basically saved me"

It sounds like his face protected his helmet from damage.

So the cyclist claims. However, the fourth comment has an
alternative viewpoint, "Instances of this happening are rare, if the
reporting reflects the true position, but face-plant injuries are a
common result. These injuries can be exascerbated by a helmet as the
chin and nose can be pressed into the road surface by the front of
the helmet."
