Yes, the late great Jim McClure had a bad cylinder explosion in the late 90's.
Lifted him straight up in the air.
That started the using of the kevlar blankets around the cylinders.
Jim's injury never healed, which eventually took his life. What a nice man Jim was! God Speed!
Her are a couple more shots. Got to share em.

Some riders report that turning the bars right or left acts like an aerodynamic rudder and can help steer the bike, even though the front wheel is in the air.

That makes sense....by turning the wheel you're exposing a lot more surface area for the wind to push on. Turn left and expose the right side of the front end...winds pushes on the right side....bike moves left. hmmmm...just might work.
