nitrous explosion (http://www.brockracing.com/media/brockatco_NEW.wmv)
cylinder hits his chest (http://www.brockracing.com/media/BrockRock750.wmv)
this guy has shit for luck...i\'m thinking after the 3rd nitrous explosion and the cylinder hitting me in the chest, i\'d be looking for a new hobby...like underwater basket weaving or something.

When I was young, I was kneeling on the seat of a snowmobile back in the mid to late 70\'s when the sparkplug shoots out of the head and caught me in the crouch. The snowmobile was an AMF single cylinder. I guess the plug was not seated in the head well. It hurt like heck. That is what I thought of when I saw the video. Although I would not want that to happen again, I think an engine blowing up under me would be worse.

I\'m very happy you shared that. I was laughing my ass off (he lived and won a championship, I\'m allowed to laugh). I\'ve had stuff fall off, hit me, and blow up (not all at once). I wish I could have video taped the time the wheel came off my quad. Or the time(s) the intake exploded on my turbo bike. Draw-through turbo = lots of pipe full of air/fuel just waiting for a backfire. Or the time my airfilters caught on fire. Or the 60mph slide into a guide rail.
