All i can say is ouch... I'm pretty sure the guy bounces off teh bike which hit the barrier, then slides out and he hits the oncoming car and bounces off that.

i've never done a track day and i have shitty lines myself in the twisties.....but it looks like he should have stayed vertical a bit longer and kinda late apex'd that turn. seems like he took damn near the entire turn horizontal, am i wrong? just appears he could have late apex'd and seen how tight the turn actually was, compensated and knocked off some speed.

I thought he looked pretty good, figured he might should get some better tires?

Interesting .. ^^ I agree ... maybe some stickier tires and he would have been good I think. .. The machine says it all

If he was riding a little less aggressive, he would have made the corner and his bike and body would have been in one piece. There were way too many people on that corner, both in cars and on the side, to go in that hot. If that bike had become airborne as it went across the road, it could have been a very different situation.

I think he was definitely going in too fast... seems like he would've needed more room to accelerate and stand up after the apex to take the turn correctly

The guy doesn't hit the car, it's the bike. Usually the body stays with the guardrail. What you see is the bike bouncing off the rail and spinning into the opposite lane, hitting the car and spinning back toward the original lane.
Secondly, his front tire washes out which indicates (to me anyway) crappy tires, not enough heat in the tires and/ or too much lean angle with the combonation of an issue with the rubber.
Lastly, Darwin had the last laugh here ladies and gents. Too many other things going on, what, with on coming cars, a semi-blind corner, a group of onlookers and a video camera.

He had it way to low for that corner and rear slide out (pause it just before it goes down) and it was the bike that hit the car he was on the gaurd rail.

I'm no expert but i have to agree it looks to me like he started his corner way too early should of waited a little bit longer also think his tires were crap a good tire that was properly warmed should've been able to handle that lean angle. Another reason why you should'nt ride out of your limits thats what happens when you try and show off for a camera
