Default Frank Schleck Crash at The Tour of Switzerland

He just flew over that railing. Couldn't tell why it happened though.

That was crazy. Mama mia, mama mia.

Luckily there were trees and bushes to break his fall.

weird crash. It reminded me of Ullrich in the tour a couple of years ago, except he went over a railing. I wonder what happened? It looked like his foot popped out of his pedal but I couldn't tell if that is what happened first or if it was a reaction to something else.
