Sir Richard Branson says he thought he was going to die when he crashed his bike on a Caribbean island.

The accident happened during training for a charity cycling event, when he hit a bump on the road and went over the handlebars.

He says his life flashed in front of his eyes when he hit the road.

The grisly results were photographed and pasted all over his website.
