New camera footage from Wrestlemania 41 has revealed that Stone Cold Steve Austin crashed on several occasions while driving a quad bike in the Allegiant Stadium.
On Sunday, the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, hosted the second night of the biggest event in the WWE calendar, Wrestlemania 41.
John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes in the main event of the evening, claiming a record-breaking 17th WWE title and cementing his place as the greatest wrestler of all time.

But just moments before the match between Cena and Rhodes, WWE legend Austin was involved in a crash with a fan while driving a quad bike, and new footage has revealed that this wasn't the first time he had crashed that evening.
As fans eagerly awaited the final match of Wrestlemania between Cena and Rhodes, they were shocked to hear the iconic music of Stone Cold Steve Austin play through the speakers of the Allegiant Stadium, before spotting the WWE legend enter in a quad bike.
However, as he did laps of the wrestling ring on the quad, Austin made a mistake and crashed the four-wheeler into the ringside barricade, causing a fan to fall over due to the impact.

But now, new footage has revealed that the 60-year-old actually crashed the quad moments before he appeared, missing the ramp that would take him up to the stage to make his shock entrance.
It is not yet known if the fan that fell over as a consequence of Austin's crash injured herself as a consequence of the moment, but the former WWE champion was seen immediately apologising to her after the incident happened and again as he left the stadium.
Austin's role at Wrestlemania 41 was to come into the ring to hype up the crowd for the final match, before announcing that the attendance for Sunday's matches was 63,226 while the entire two-day event hosted a massive 124,693 people in total.

Despite being forced to retire from competing in 2003 after multiple knee injuries and a serious neck injury, rumours recently have suggested that Austin had been considering a return to the ring in the near future.
But ahead of Wrestlemania 41, the legend put the rumours to bed while speaking on the Pat McAfee Show.
Austin said: "Don't get me wrong, I can still whoop some ass, but I'm not looking to get back in the ring at any time in the future because these young cats need something to shoot for. Stone Cold don't need to beat nobody's ass anymore."
