Speed skating is a fast moving sport filled with adrenaline, occasionally accidents do happen.  Most of them are minors with scratches or bruises.  Here is one that happened during the flat track race.  The footage was taken at 240fps, in other words 8 times slower than normal speed.  You can also view it from YouTube here.
