Jason Bargwanna's double summersault with tripple twist.
That was some frightening prang. When I saw the replay, I thought that Murphy was wrong but it did not appear as if Murphy intended anything other than a slight tap in the rear. Certainly the consequences were far worse than I would have expected from the slight nerf in the rear.
However the contratemps in the pits afterwards has more serious repercussions as Doug Murphy was recorded on TV as clearly saying that he would do it again. That was a dumb move - the least he could have done was gone back and apologised. This could land him in more hot water, as that one statement did bring the sport into disrepute in my opinion. Jason was very, very lucky he was not seriously injured.
