The Mondraker Factory Team rider's wheel got stuck in a rut and he went down hard – all while travelling at more than 50km/h. He caught his leg between the frame and the ground, snapping his femur.

Ooohaaaaeee. Just reading that makes me squirm. The last time I broke a bone I think I was seven (falling off a rope swing), so the memory of how much it must hurt has faded. This sounds like a good un.

Anyone else beat that ?

Edit : Just read about Tom2. Oneupmanship taken to a new level ?
