seems like a lot of other riders were crashing too.
i wonder if he broke a seal.

Yup, probably one of the most famous WSS crashes ever. Here's another video of it, looks to be slightly better resolution:

A penguin takes his car to a mechanic and says that it hasn't been running well lately. The mechanic says it'll be about a hour before they can take a look at it, so the penguin goes for a little walk around town. He window shops a bit and then stops in at an ice cream shop for some ice cream, vanilla flavored because penguins really love vanilla. Then he walks back to the dealership. The mechanic comes into the waiting area and says, "Well, it looks like you've blown a seal." And the penguin (wiping his mouth) says, "No, it's just vanilla ice cream."
