Two Riders Airlifted After Red Bull Rampage Crashes as Johansson Likely Needs Hip Surgery

Medical pauses with helicopter evacuations underscored the event’s unforgiving terrain.

Overview

  • Sweden’s Emil Johansson said he suffered a major dislocation of his right hip that was reduced in hospital and will most likely require surgery to clear bone fragments.
  • Spain’s Adolf Silva reported a lower-back injury after crashing on a double backflip attempt during his second run.
  • Johansson bounced off track after a tailwhip and fell down a steep rock face before medics extricated him for an airlift.
  • Event organizers halted runs to allow rescue teams and a helicopter to access the course, then competition resumed.
  • Red Bull said both riders were alert and responsive after their crashes at the Zion National Park venue.
