Default Top Fuel bike crash at the Pod

Bike crashes have been in the news quite a bit lately.
Well here's a spectacular crash that happened this weekend, but with a happier ending. This 200 mph Top Fuel run ended with the two opponents colliding and one rider being dumped onto the wheelie bars of the other bike. He suffered minor injuries and was back racing 2 hours after being checked out.

Is that lucky or unlucky

Anyway I am fan of motocross/supercross and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this while watching the championship this season. It gets going at 30 secs onwards.
