This guy has trained considerably for this type of riding (go figure). The news report I heard claimed he crashed this bike doing 55 during one of these trial runs.
They reported that he was not hurt in the crash, but can you imagine the thoughts ripping through your mind as you go down at that speed?
Here is a little more on this topic, and a bit more video. You will get a better look at the "bike" too.
