 he's not even wearing clips open your eyes abit and you can see he isn't wearing any

 how about you open your eyes bro, he is wearing clips... Google search 5.10 Minnar and read the comments before you
  • 2 4
 hey harmsie7 makes a very valid and intelligent point. you can clearly see from the links "exact" posted he was not clipped in. ( try the second link because i know your intelligence is not one of your many strong attributes)

 nothing is wrong here... The bike is riding the man! The man doesn't have any wheels so they're crawling down... Moreover, the audience are stoked! just look at them! see...

 Did the dude get any serious injuries then? I would love to know. When you look at the sequence shots it looks absolutely savage. Nevermind the neck, his whole spine is bent the wrong way, his heels and hitting the back of his lid. Such a bad crash, i hope he walked away!
  • 1 0
 at first i was like why is pod so sick (not the good kind) and twisted this time? then i saw the sequence of photos. if i had any doughts about neck braces, this just dispelled them.
  • 4 1
 That's why clips are never friendly.
  • 2 4
 actually clips usually release under a decent force.... the clips didn't cause the accident, and he would be just as bad off with flats.
  • 2 0
 I'm not sure bought this but I don't think his forks are going to absorb much of that impact
  • 1 0
 If the bike crosses the finish but you don't, is that still a win?

 I don't know why so many are harshing on clipped in pedals. They didn't cause the crash, and at that rate in the rocks, flats weren't going to save his grill.

 Looking at the other pictures, he certainly scorpioned pretty badly, but he seems to have missed the rocks entirely. Certainly could have been a lot worse.

 I think everyone seen enough crashes to last 10 lifetimes. Plus those are not clips, five tens with flats and his left foot way off the pedal. Def wrist/shoulder damage, hope he alright.
  • 2 0
 Wrong. You shoulda checked the other pics from the sequence which are linked above. Picture 2 clearly shows (as does their website) that 5.10 makes those shoes in SPD.

I'd say that is one of the most informative sequences I've seen in a while. I've been wondering what a scorpion while clipped in would look like. I don't think his foot actually frees itself from the pedal until AFTER the last pic. That one shows the foot/pedal angle looking like it might pop the foot free. Or pop his foot off!

Besides, seen enough crashes? We can never see enough of OTHER people crashing!
Hope he is okay, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
