I saw this on the news the other night and it looked terrible. They put him into an induced coma because of the head injuries and lung damage.

Dude is in an induced coma, but should make a good recovery - not too bad considering he landed on his back at 140 kph.

Isn't that the exact same place the american dude did the same thing last year? induced coma and everything IIRC.

[revelations]

Yup, same.... they made changes to the course though since that case....

[revelations]

"He is said to have suffered bruising to the brain but did not require surgery at the time; he had been put in an induced coma.[1] The next day he recovered more quickly than expected, regained consciousness, made jokes, and had doctors expecting a full recovery."
