Limitless The danger of speedrunning, how i lost part of my toe

[TheBadazz]

Dude! I wish you a speedy recovery. Please from now on where steel toe boots or skateboard steel toe shoes. All speed runners.

I hear that. When I was a young guy I raced middleweight superbike for a while. It’s amazing to me still how if a rider was off track in a turn they were and still are a magnet for other riders/drivers, it’s an odd phenomenon that I’ll never understand

Lol that's an easy explanation.. target fixation.. I used to do trackdays around So.Cal tracks like Buttonwillow, Willow springs, Chuckwalla raceway and would see it all the time, guys would go off and into the gravel, and someone else close behind would just basically follow them into the dirt without even realizing it. I almost did it myself a few times

I understand the target fixation concept, anytime I would see someone going down or losing control I would always look away from what was happening and the focus was so much more intense

Man I hit myself last year with my Typhon 3S at about 40-45mph and it broke my toe. I can’t imagine what you just went thru.

I'm not going to lie, I haven't read your entire post through fear of seeing gruesome toe photos
@rotauq I wish you all the best for your recovery
Stay safe everybody..!!

He has yet to show anything other than the crash and at no point was his wound visible.

 

[BashingBrian]

So I just watched the video..!!! @rotauq you are seriously one lucky guy, that accident could have been so much worse..!!
I cringed when the car veered off towards you ‍

Once again I wish you a speedy recovery..

People.. this speed run activity is no joke, everyone take precautions be safe and sensible..!!

Post crash analyses:
- likely it was the front left shock hinge that broke, causing the spin
- Impact was at ~75mph
- it seems FR wheel made the first impact, it wasnt the splitter, but the battery tray that cut into my toe as it pivotted on impact

This is my 3rd worst fear, first is hitting someone else, second is causing a 1:1 car accident. All the best in recovery @rotauq did your team at least win?

 

[Spoc85]

That’s crazy!. You done well to partially jump out of the way and not freeze up as the car was speeding towards you. Could’ve been a lot worse if you froze.
All the best in recovery.

Those are all womens shoes with high heels… Is there something you want to share with us @K-BASH ?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I also think a ladder is a bad idea. You can't get out of the way and a 100+ mph car is likely to whip that ladder down in a split second, you may not have time to brace a fall.

 

[jondilly1974]

I've always thought a ladder was a bad idea. With a 100+ mph car, I don't think you'll have much time to brace a fall.

That’s why I just wear stilts
