Getting a whack from a cyclist doing 25-30mph? That's gonna hurt in the morning,!
I saw a photographer lean out of the crowd on the closing stage on the Champs Élysées one year, a rider hit his camera and went down but the snapper ended up getting jumped on by the Gendarmerie and dragged off, no idea what happened but I think ruining the finish of Le Tour might be a Guillotine offence in France.

Re: Tour de France (possible spoiler)
To be fair it looked like the guy was gunna ride straight into the barrier if there wasnt anyone standing there tho so I think hes pretty unlucky to be hit, pretty insane crash, thats a lot of blood
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
