That makes a lot more sense than the original photo let on. I was 100% confident they werenāt trampa though haha

How long did the board have to accelerate? How fast do you think it hit the wall at?
Either way, theyāre a cheap fix!
Nope only the hangers and springs. They got the top half upgraded as I wanted to keep the hubs going.
A bit of JB weld and I might give them another go.

It about 3 meters. Canāt have been that fast.
But I think all the springs and deck wound up on the corner so probably gave it quite an impact

Trademark infringement, someone is getting sued!
Iām not quite sure about everything going on there but itās horrifying. Thatās bone sticking out, isnāt it?

Thatās Rob, founder of Miles Board. He posted the video on IG. Looks like the other guy lost traction when his wheels made contact with the painted lines, board wobbled in front of Rob and then this horrific break happened. That first guy was lucky there was no car in the lane.

That board 100% hit the rumble strips on the side of the highway. Those things are rough, even in a car.

Not sure if knee pads and slide gloves would have helped in this situation. Regardless, seeing someone without kneepads and slide gloves makes me feel like this video inside.
And regardless to that, I hope he heals up well and quickā¦ super ouch / bummer.

I donāt think any gear wouldāve prevented that break. Unless maybe motorcycle boots, but then you can really skate with that on. Really sucks since heās a very active guy.

Wouldnāt wish that on anyone ha, looks crazy painful. Just one of those things that you see and it makes you more aware and a bit more careful as well as educates newer people to the hobby about the dangers that this hobby has. Good thing to remind all of us that we are not invincible and things can go wrong in an instant
At least he was wearing a helmet this time
We were discussing this in another thread, really sucks to happen to Rob, heās gonna lose a lot of muslcle being out of the gym, really sucks.

AT wheels probably would have avoided that accident 
Bindings definitely would have.

Exactly. Their whole purpose is to wake up sleeping or distracted car drivers. I canāt even imagine hitting one of those at speed.
