Holy Schlottzky's delicatessen!
Helmet pops off during a crash at NJMP. Rider fine... incredibly.
@Sirref, were you there that day? This guy needs to but a lottery ticket right now. http://www.motorcycle.com/features/h...ace-crash.html

What? The strap must not have been fastened. It fell off his head without hitting anything!

Doing a frame-by-frame, it looks like the strap was still fastened. Evidently not tight enough. Helmet came off back-to-front. Maybe too large in the first place.

Pardon my ignorance, as I'm not a racer...
What did the camera bike guy do wrong? |

He got off the gas right at the finish line. Its customary to keep on it more like a normal race lap for a while so as to not get an enema from riders behind.
