LONDON -- Two men were injured after a backflip motorbike stunt went wrong in Glasgow.
The men were on a bike with another person and a driver at the SSE Hydro arena for the Nitro Circus action sport event when the accident happened Thursday evening.
The bike carrying all four of them failed to make it to the top of a ramp, falling back down and sending them flying. The men were reportedly announced as audience members but were actually stuntmen.
The accident was captured on camera, with a voiceover in the background heard announcing: "That is the worst crash we have ever had."

The four men were wearing helmets as well as protective suits and the injured pair were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. One is believed to have a hip injury and the other has facial injuries.
Teams of people scrambled to the men after the bike tumbled to the floor. The accident was broadcast on the big screens and the show was temporarily halted.
The MC for the event told the audience: “It’s obviously not planned – occasionally something can go wrong. It’s not meant to go wrong so we’re taking a moment.”
The Nitro Circus tour comes to London on Saturday and Sunday Feb. 6 and 7 before heading across Europe.
