• thanks for the comments and concerns guys. I was definitely lucky i had my head down because if i had hit it with my head up I would definitely be needing reconstructive face surgery now!

    I contacted the olympic park as i didn't actually know what happened or what i'd hit. They said the footage was useless but they managed to locate me spread eagle'd round the pole when the light came up. I guess it would have been a silver lining if they had the footage, that way I could have sent it in to You've been framed and made £250!

  • Dude that's an awful smash. Heal up. Also in case it ever affects anyone else. If you are captured on cctv you can put in a freedom of info request and unless the footage is being used in an active police case they have to release images of you within a certain timeframe. A mate of mine tried this route when someone tries to garb his daughter but got knocked back due to criminal investigation.
