king helmet off NOW" of something like that.castrolcraig said:
Stop, stop, stop!! His bloody leg flopping about at the end, about to see my dinner again! I wouldn't watch it again even if I could . . . makes my stomach turn.
The worst leg injury one I saw on TV Doriano (Rambo) Romboni I think in 1999 WSB at Monza, can't remember which corner but i think it was Lesmo 1 . . . He got his leg stuck in the side of the bike somehow and as he tumbled into the gravel it doesn't come free. . .
I seem to remember stories of spiral fractures, allegedly very nasty. I just remember thinking that could be career ending and watching Romboni grab his leg and he must have been screaming his head off . . . horrible.
Seen so many, but for some reason that one really sticks in the mind, probably because it should have been a fairly inocuous crash, which became really nasty.

See how they take his helmet off. I thought one of the worst things to do if you are helping in a motorbike crash is to take the helmet off!
Anybody care to explain why they have done it here?
Maybe he was choking on his own blood etc and they had to take it off to allow him to breathe/stop choking.Anybody care to explain why they have done it here?

It's totally acceptable to take a persons helmet off after a crash, as long as you know what you are doing. The marshal in the clip didn't seem to know what he was doing at all! To take the lid off properly requires two people who know the knack of removing it. In Nakanos case he obviously didn't need the helmet removed immediately as he was clearly conscious and breathing. The way that they almost tear his helmet from his head and let him try to sit up and move his head around, He's very lucky that there wasn't any more problems caused by the marshals lack of ability in that situation.Anybody care to explain why they have done it here?
Yep, one to support the back of the head / weight of the head when helmet is removed and another to actually remove the lid.
Horrific injuries are caused by minute shards of broken bone in the neck that can damage nerves if the head is moved after an accident, ONLY remove a helmet if breath is stopped/impaired.
