This is the evil twin of the delightful "Post a pic of someone riding a bike" thread started by Drillium Dude.

Let's see some pain.

I posted a pic of that car driving into the pack- but I felt it was poor taste- a guy died. But the sight of those bikes flying 20 feet in the air was insane.

I had that very same pic in mind. Seeing that one guy 10ft above the car in the air is unforgettable.

1985 Giro, I got there just AFTER the crash. This photo has been stolen and posted all over the world.

It's also in my book, the editor didn't want it there, but I insisted.

Thinking the same thing myself. I had a couple close calls this month and am feeling spooked. I am losing my nerve to fly. Now this? Oh boy.

Nah, it's all a matter of circumstances. If you don't race, ride in fast groups, or do really stupid things, the chances of falling down the stairs are bigger than going down on a bike.
