He's been placed into a coma due to the extent of his injuries.
He was traveling at around 40mph when he hit the rigging, so in a way, it is worse than most Formula One crashes.

He was pushed into the barriers.
If you want to make someone crash in a sprint, this is how.

80kmH at the impact according to Jumbo...
That's 50Mph.
5 hours of facial surgery on top of the life saving stuff.

The fastest I've crashed is around 30mph. And that was onto gravel with a full face helmet on.
50mph in nothing but some lycra and a road helmet directly into rigging is inconceivable.

I do not think that means what you think that means.

I couldn't make out exactly what happened,
in terms of what solid metal objects hit where, but it looked like he took the crash barrier directly to his face. Horrible.

Yep, straight to the face:
"All of the bones in Jakobsen’s face were broken and he lost all his teeth, but fortunately no vital organs were hit."
