What Steve ppp and Dukeboy said is what it seems happened. Read a few witness accounts that say the same rather than the reported 'couldn't stop at the end' theory being banded about in the press. Seen pictures of the bike on the back of a recovery truck ( daily mail website if interested) and bar a dent in the front wheel, it looks pretty unscathed which would make what I've heard make sense.

The man is in an induced coma. He's broken both ankles,fractured his chest,spine and skull. They may bring him out of the coma tomorrow. As yet they are unsure as to what extent his head and spine have been damaged.

Hopefully he makes a full recovery.
