VIDEO: Professional Cyclist Suffers a Brutal Career-Ending Crash as His Body Goes Limp during a Terrifying Downhill Ride

For a pro cyclist, balance and speed must be in harmony for a good ride. Riding down the bumpy road should be done with utmost caution and precision, as any mishap can result in deadly consequences. Watching a cyclist going through rough terrain is an exhilarating experience for the audience. However, if that same ride goes south and morphs into an accident, then it becomes a very chilling video to go through.

A video recently uploaded online shows a cyclist going down the hill on his cycling ride. In between the ride, he loses his balance and his trip goes literally downhill from here on.

Cyclist goes down the hill in terrifying accident

The cyclist at the center of this horrific accident is George David Atherton. The video uploaded on the X platform shows him riding down the hill with a bumpy route ahead of him. After making the first jump, he gets off balance and gets thrown off from his cycle. It literally goes downhill from there as he continues to crash down the hill. 

Fortunately, the rider was equipped with protective gear, specifically for this purpose. However, gravity defeats everything, so regardless of the protective gear, he gets quite a few bumps on his way down the hill. 

From his shoulders to his hips, Atherton gets hit quite a few times, much to the shock and horror of those watching the fall live, as well as those who watched it later after the video went viral.

People react to the horror show

This brutal fall is getting widely discussed on social media platforms.  There were concerns, as well as mixed reactions about the whole scenario. 

The fall is so horrible that there are questions about him being alive. 

Meanwhile, there were many who simply wished him well. They also informed the other viewers that this was a British professional racing cyclist, who specializes in downhill rights, and four-cross mountain bike racing.

Some people even joked that he would be back at it again in a few months once he’s recovered from all the injuries suffered during the fall.

Some people have meanwhile provided an update on his condition.
