I know I know, I'm not suppose to copy the whole article :p :

Seems that maybe no broken bones, but my gut tells me not to expect him to race next week...

Miraculous escape for Kubica
Initial reports from team members that Robert Kubica had suffered a broken leg as a result of his accident in Montreal have proved to be wide of the mark. The latest news from the hospital is that the Pole has no broken bones. He is staying in hospital under observation in case there are any questions with concussion but it seems that he is not seriously hurt.

Well if he's back racing by the British GP, then thats an amazing turn of events, these cars are really proving to be safe.

if he has nothing broken and is back in Indy, then F1 can claim to be safest motorsport ever with a big margin!

even if actually broke his leg I'm amazed how safe are f1 cars now, I feared the worst when they first showed the replay.

a big THANK YOU to the guy who invented the Hans device! I still don't get why some WRC people don't like it!

Horrible accident.

Looks similar to Greg Moore's crash at California Speedway :(

Strangely due to Greg's crash its now why we have tarmac run-off. Wonder what would happen to that area of the track?

That was terrible to watch, just seen it now. Poor Kubi. I hate to see so much head movement, no doubt he'll be thoroughly checked over.

That was most horrible crash i have ever seen in F1. I'm glad RK is ok!

Thanks to FIA and BMW Robert will be back soon!

Yes Well said,

It looked real bad at first. After witnessing Bergers crash, Senna's impact, and Ratzneberger, as well as a few others, I too got a bit emotional. But now that the news came out that he didn't suffer any physical injuries I too will toast to RK tonight

Good to hear no broken bones, and thank you to Mr. HANS inventor, but they shouldn't minimize his condition. He was clearly knocked out. Concussions are always serious. It can take weeks for dizziness or headaches to go away, and even if he feels "fine" next week I wonder if he shouldn't be allowed to drive. No place for only 99% focus in F1.

My first guess would be because it restricts head movement which is needed more in WRC when the car gets sideways.
I'm glad Kubica is ok, it's a real testament to how safe the cars are. Although I hope that noone takes this as an excuse to insert a Mickey Mouse corner in any circuit to reduce the likelihood of an accident.

I've been a massive fan of robert for a while now. Huge talent, and despite some people's claims, has taken it right up to heidfeld who is an experienced and underrated driver.

Is quick, young, and has many years left in formula one so this is an unfortunate setback if it is true about the broken leg. So is it hundred percent true he has come out with no broken bones? If so, what a credit to f1. I did fear the worst though, and f1 hasn't had a crash for a while where you stop and just get that dreaded feeling that the worst could have happened. I feel for the guy, hasn't had the best luck so far but he will fight back and all the best to him whether he races in one week or not for a few more races.

All aside from racing, the most important thing here, is that robert kubica, the person, is ok. Good luck robert, i'll be cheering for you when you get back.

When I first saw the crash I thought he was dead. It's one thing to shatter the car, but when he changed directions after hitting the wall i just imagined brain into skull carnage.

I suppose a concussion and a sprained ankle is better than death.

What did exactly happen, I was going to bathroom when the accident happen.

Jarno Trulli had the worse accident than it on the Renault years ago, and he had only minor injury.

However get well soon Kubica
