    from ninemsn, is the following story

    "Melbourne motocross racer Cam Sinclair is in an induced coma in Spain after bungling an aerial stunt.

    Sinclair was competing in the final of the Red Bull X Fighters event on Saturday when the accident occurred, the Herald Sun reports.

    A double backflip Sinclair had been attempting came unstuck when he underrotated and nosedived into the ramp......"

    a tragedy for the rider. not that watso is all that interested in the sport, but he has watched the odd demonstration, and is in awe, at the sheer guts of the riders (watso would never do it) - but it simply must be dangerous.

    watso feels sorry for the rider and the family - but wonders if some sports should be banned as being a bit too dangerous - but then who is to decide. In his younger days, watso had an accident with a motorbike, and then that was the end of the motorbike. a car is a lot safer
