I still fancy doing a bit of racing before I'm too old, but if I do I'll do it with a HANS device or one of those Dainese neck airbags.
Yes he was hit by a trailing bike, in the head it looks like.

When Craig's bike slipped out from under him there was another bike right behind making quite a swerve to try and avoid him. Whether it hit or not I can't be sure.

There's probably a video of it on YouTube but I won't post it here. Seems tasteless to do so IMO.
Yes there are loads of videos on YouTube of this, many of them foreign, just shows the hold this guy had on the world.

But posting a link to a video of something like this is just tasteless as you have said.
