Why was the rider on the wrong side of the track? I have seen this happen too often. You cannot assume that riders are not coming in the other direction. We (RFS) had a rescue on a track out the back of Seal Rocks. Both riders were doing about 80kph, That was a 160kph impact. Both bikes were destroyed and we took two hours to get the riders to an ambulance. They had facial fractures and a broken leg and shoulder each. Its a quick way for National Parks to ban bikes completely on their tracks.

A head on crash does double the speed but the actual impact is the same as hitting something stationary at 80kph. So crash speed is 80kph. So sience proves that having 2 people hitting head on at 80 kph it would EFFIN SUCK ASS to be one of those people.
