I would never have believed that a bike could become upside down six foot in the air at such an innocuous corner like Braddan Bridge.

I have included these set of pics taken from Nigel Davies 1997 spill on the Padgett 500 Yamaha as a stark reminder that when it all goes wrong, you can never anticipate quite what will happen next.
So if a marshall politely asks you to move to a safer spot, it would be good advice to listen.

Amazingly Nigel was not seriously injured in this crash, although fractures to his leg and ankle put him out for rest of the week.

Thank the Lord for Arai crash helmets, straw bales and Canon 5 frame per second motorwinds.
