watch this guy as he revs his engine and the piston blows his hand completly off! its not graphic just see his hand fly off and hit the ground.

THIS MIGHT BE A REPOST BUT I DIDNT SEE IT POSTED ELSEWHERE

this vid is older than dirt. yes, it was just the glove that blew off. it's not his hand, nor the piston. however, the piston did break his hand. he still rides tho, but now he wears a bulletproof vest every time he gets on the bike...how that helps protect his hands, i have no idea.

you have a piston fly inches past your head at over 900mph and tell me it's not a big deal.
