Here is his accident, but it is hard to see. Looks really fast.

[Hawk]

Yeah...  Poor Luis.... Looks like he was really unlucky and followed his bike in skidding along the ground at high speed and collided with his own bike after it hit that barrier and stopped. 

RIP Luis!

Salom hit the motorcycle at a very high speed, this is what the Italian video says.

[CapeDoctor]

RIP.
was actually watching that free practice session live on telly, although there was no footage of the actual crash.
a sad day for the sport.

[Warlock]

RIP Luis

...that was an unlucky one 

[HornetMaX]

Too sad I hate it even more when youngsters are involved.

This crash shows what it means to work on safety adapting the circuits to today's performances and risk acceptance.

R.I.P Luis Salom #39!

A guy i will really miss in Moto2! This is just one of those freak accidents where there is nothing that could have helped..

Let's see how the weekend will go after change of layout to the F1 layout.

after change of layout to the F1 layout.

[HornetMaX]

Always easy to see it after of course, but ... yeah, it was a potentially very dangerous spot.
Fast turn with not so much space before the barriers and, most important, no gravel between the track and the barriers (to slow down rider and bike), only flat asphalt: bad.

[Vini]

probably true but if i understood correctly, they will be using the f1 hairpin at the stadium section.

[HornetMaX]

Yes, which is kind of admitting that the spot was dangerous and that nobody (safety commission or whatever it's called) noticed that before the crash.
