This young french free rider came out of this bike crash only with bruises. After he was taken down on a backboard as a precaution, medics said he should be fine.

Miles confident in his skills carried down the cliff. He made it with sprained wrist, broken hand and multiple lacerations…The bike survive the fall without a scratch.
10# This Could Not End Well
Way too big. This guy knew it’s not going to end very well the second he left the ramp.

Another “lucky to be alive bike crash” at Red Bull Rampage qualifications. Amazingly, Dustin walked away pretty much unscathed from this absolutely monstrous fall.

This mountain bike crash stopped Gee competing at Rampage right at the last minute. It really looks bad and could end much worse.

This time some action from road racing. Matt Brammeier broke several ribs, suffered a punctured lung and fractures to his sacral and pelvic bones. But he managed to tweet a photo from his hospital bed letting everyone know he’s lucky to be alive.

Apparently it’s a practice footage of Steve Romaniuk. Another Rampage competitor. I’m not sure how these guys survive this kind of mountain bike crashes.
5# BMX Stunt Face Crash
This one sends shivers down my spine. He was out cold for 2 minutes and a little bit confused for the next 48 hours but alive.
4# Faceplant of Death
The only explanation for this guy coming out of this mtb accident alive or not crippled is….God must love mountain biking.

Back to the mother of lucky to be alive mountain bike crashes. Luckily Tom was carrying enough speed to make it just… over to the other side.
2# Cedric Gracia’s Brush with Death – Warning: Not For The Faint Hearted
This innocent looking mountain bike crash was a real near death experience. Gracia’s survived this crash because he and his friends kept calm and knew what to do. Remember !!! Don’t ride alone in alone places. Horror starts at 1:30.

Thank god there was no crash here. It would probably end the Rampage competition before the finals. Here’s Brendan Fairclough’s and probably not the first one of his near death experiences.
