I was watching a "fastest vehicle" type show the other night that featured a 150ish mph pedal bike at the salt flats.

The guy had to ride behind a fast car with a wind screen/drafting pocket. This one guy slipped out from the protective space and was litteraly blown away. Tumbling at 150.

He was hurt really bad when the wind nailed him. Almost died and took over a year, if I can remember the details somewhat accuratley, to get back on the bike again.
