HOLY SHIT.
That was probably the HEAVIEST cycling pile-up I've EVER seen!
I can't believe nobody got severely hurt in that.
That was INSANE.
Check out the video on ABC News page: Make it full screen to, to get the full gist of what went down there.
Madness.

Watch that poor schmuck at the top of the rail, doing a railslide/cartwheel/wipeout for about 5 meters!!! And then all the people coming around after the main pile-up and slamming into people!
*EDIT* Sorry... the first posted link has a much better video clip than the one I provided.

It was certainly one of the highlights of the night. Two of the riders took about 5 minutes to get up and I think the whole audience became very concerned when they bought the trolley out. Amazingly everyone walked of the velodrome and some even managed to compete in further events during the night. I was stunned that no one was seriously injured.
Apart from the huge pile up. There was some great racing and Greame Brown was in huge form, especially for the final race of the night. I totally enjoyed my first track meet. My only disappointment was that I couldn't get into the middle when Stuart O'Grady was doing his time in autograph alley.

Agreed.
I saw it last night on the news and was shocked that nobody was seriously hurt.
