A spooky fall!

Last Saturday, during the 6th stage of the Tour of Utah, Matt Brammeier, an Irish cyclist was lucky to be alive and just hospitalized after hitting a service car while chasing back to the peloton on the descent from Guardsman Pass in Big Cottonwood Canyon, on the other side of Park City. 


He was taken by ambulance to University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition but sustained severe injuries to his pelvis, ribs and one lung. One individual who conducted a speed analysis of the rider, concluded that he was at about 46 mph, with about only 20 meters to brake, something absolutely impossible. Watch the video; the man is really lucky!
