A drag racer involved in a 230 mph crash at Sydney Dragway last week somehow only suffered a broken ankle and a few bruises.

The crash took place at the Australian National Drag Racing Association's Nitro Champs event on May 6 according to the Examiner.

Three-time ANDRA Top Bike champion Chris Matheson made it a quarter of the way through his run when he flew off his bike by the strong force of the wind. Matheson had troubles with his motorbike the entire run and just when he thought everything was going well he lost control of the bike.

The Australian rider was immediately checked out by on hand medics according to the Examiner.

Matheson was wearing a helmet and had leather on to protect him from the fall, and some how only suffered a broken ankle and bruises despite going well over 200 mph on the bike at the time of the incident.

Motorcycle drag racers are subject to crashes like the one Matheson suffered last week because they're not working with a chassis and roll cage to protect their bodies and to keep them attached to their vehicles like racecar drivers.

Matheson will recover from the injuries sustained during the crash and is scheduled to race again soon according to the Examiner.
