He doesn't get clear of the bike, which remains a big danger in bike racing. A similar accident injured a good friend of mine at a track day. She was in hospital for six weeks with a badly broken shoulder and upper arm. Had the bike landed a little further, it would have killed her.

I wrote about Scoobi a while ago and how such a scheme is doomed in an American city. Found out they did in fact go bust. I don't know whether it was the concept or the pandemic that killed them off. I wasn't a fan.
