A cyclist has posted a video of a crash in the sprint finish of a road race where one of the cyclists manages to avoid a 30-foot drop after crashing by hanging onto the retaining wall of a bridge.

The video was posted by Peter Aquino and is from the Cat. 3 Santa Barbara Road Race which took place at the weekend. The crash results in a number of riders hitting the deck with one rider falling over the wall but just managing to hang on to the top.

Mr. Aquino describes what happened saying: “This is the crash that occurred at the sprint finish of the Cat 3 Santa Barbara Road Race. This year’s finish was DANGEROUS as the finish had us sprinting over a bridge that was about 30 ft to the dry creek bad below. One guy was extremely lucky that he was able to remain aware, as he’s tumbling around, and grab on the retaining wall to keep from falling. So scary!”
