Crash at Nitro Circus

[R8Steve]

I was at this last night and witnessed this. I still have absolutely no idea what they were trying to do.

A back flip with 4 people on a bike, with members of the audience on the bike?

Thought they were just running up the ramp but nowhere near enough speed with that many people on.

They claimed they were going to do a back flip. Right away i thought that would be impossible and it ended up they never even made it up the ramp!

They've pulled this off before so clearly just went badly wrong this time. Hope the injuries aren't too serious.

So they have, i never knew that. I stand corrected, that's pretty impressive!

Prof Prolapse said:

According to the BBC there were no audience members. Stunt people only.

Where are you reading that? I was there, there was at least one volunteer from the crowd and the BBC headline reads 'Two audience members have been injured after a motorbike stunt went wrong at the SSE Hydro arena in Glasgow.'

Prof Prolapse said:

Firstly the headline is "Stuntmen hurt"

Umm, no it isn't.

The context of the article has been edited since i first posted and does now say 'but the BBC understands they were part of the act.'

Apologies prof, it now does say that...they're editing it as time goes on!

The daily record must not have got the update then...

The official release from nitro circus makes no mention of stuntmen.
