Okay, so you want to hear about this crazy crash involving Paul Cassidy? Let me tell you, it was a wild ride. I watched the video, and it’s a miracle the guy’s still in one piece.
So, here’s what I saw. I started watching this footage of the race, and everything seemed normal at first. Then, this Paul Cassidy, he’s from the Isle of Man, a place known for some insane motorcycle races, started to drift off the racing line. Not a good sign, right? He ended up mounting the sidewalk. Yeah, you heard that right, the sidewalk!
Things went downhill fast from there.
I watched in slow motion as his bike slammed into a protective barrier. And I mean, it really hit that thing. Next thing I know, Cassidy is flying through the air. I’m not kidding, the video showed him tumbling about 25 feet in the air. It was like something out of a movie.
The Aftermath
- I kept watching, wondering how anyone could survive that.
- Turns out, this guy’s made of steel or something.
- He actually walked away from it!
- Later, I read that he only had minor injuries. Some bruised ribs, mostly. I mean after that he must have been sore, but still, he’s alive!
Apparently, this happened during a practice session at some Triangle circuit, on a right-hand bend after the start/finish. Cassidy himself said he collided with another rider, which sent him careening off course. He was catapulted over a wall at Millbank Avenue. I learned that he’s a Manx motorcycle racer, so he’s probably used to some close calls, but this one was extreme.
The whole thing went viral on social media, and everyone’s talking about it. It’s shocking to see, but it’s also kind of amazing that he’s okay. I guess that’s all you can ask for in a situation like that. I just wanted to share this story because it really blew my mind. It’s a good reminder of how dangerous these races can be, but also how tough these racers are.
Anyway, that’s the story of Paul Cassidy’s crash. Pretty wild, huh?
