Australian racer Chris Matheson is the unlucky star of the video posted above, shot during the Sydney Dragway’s 2013 Nitro Champs competition.

According to the Post Game, Matheson is a pro and has previously won the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) Top Bike.

He falls off the bike after covering just a quarter of the track then slides and rolls for another painful 100 feet (30.5 meters) until coming to a halt.

While the incident is pretty scary, this is most likely not Matheson's first rodeo and he has escaped with a fracture and minor scrapes.
