Two Riders Airlifted After Red Bull Rampage Crashes in Utah

Emil Johansson says a right-hip dislocation will likely need surgery after a cliff fall.

Overview

  • Red Bull said Emil Johansson was alert and responsive after he fell off the trail during a tailwhip attempt and was hoisted out by helicopter.
  • Johansson posted that doctors popped his dislocated right hip back into place and that he will likely need surgery to clean the socket of bone fragments.
  • Spanish rider Adolf Silva crashed on a double backflip attempt on his second run and was airlifted, with Red Bull reporting he was alert, conscious, and speaking with loved ones.
  • Event officials paused runs to allow medical teams to reach crash sites and conduct helicopter extrications before competition resumed.
  • Rampage’s steep, rocky terrain and high‑risk tricks require on‑site emergency crews, a setup highlighted by the day’s rapid medical response.
