A strip of metal like that took down the Concorde fleet! Glad he was mostly unhurt. It was a crazy and violent crash and really bad luck. I imagine that one can ride over most debris without the front wheel jamming like that. I had a similar crash in a race but I hit someones torso while hard on the brakes and getting pushed from the rear. In hindsight I should have bunny hopped like Leebo suggested.
