Daredevil cyclist wipes out
Motorcycle daredevil Trigger Gumm crashed Sunday while attempting a world-record motorcycle jump at a northeast Oklahoma casino.
Gumm, 38, fell far short of his attempted goal of 315 feet. Riding a 450cc Service Honda outfitted with a custom-built engine and specially designed shocks, Gumm hit a ramp at about 90 mph and launched about 70 feet in the air before he landed on the top of a dirt ramp, lost control and crashed over the handlebars.
Gumm waved to the crowd while being treated by medical personnel. He then got up and walked to a waiting ambulance, which took him to a local hospital.
