Default Crash in Ipswich, only 2 hurt

Amazing that more weren't hurt and/or killed.

Jumped the barrier and fence like a horse with perfect stride.

He almost cleared the fence too. The timing of the rolls, and the location of the barriers was perfect...in a bad sorta way.

Wow. Luckily there was not a ton more spectator damage. Pretty crazy how close he came to almost catching the barrier so that he would not have ended up in the crowd.
