He didn't get run over, which shocks me because that's a busy stretch. But lots of internal bleeding, crushed pelvis, broken internal organs, and they are worrying about that before they figure out how broken his limbs are. Sucks.

So is now when we revive the discussion about times when it may actually be appropriate to layer dan? Even without a front brake, he wasn't going too fast to stand on the rear and turn it. Even if he hit the curb.

Hey I'll go ahead and give you a strong opinion on the matter. Are there crashes where purposefully getting off the bike will probably have a better outcome than staying on it? Surely, this appears to be one. But To pull off a maneuver in a panic situation you have to have done it beforehand. The brain can't do new awesome things when it's gone into lizard mode, it's on autopilot and can only do what you've done before. It's why you practice things like panic stops, when you gotta do it, you already have the memory of it and can pull it off. I think the situations where, getting off the bike vs. staying on making for a better outcome, are pretty rare as it is. This is assuming you have decent control of your motorcycle. I think that situation happening where you have the time and the ability to make the decision to get off the bike and then do it before the impact is rarer than winning the lottery. Unless you are practicing getting off the bike as an option in a crash, I don't think you do it in a crash on purpose. I think people who 'laid her down', without exception, crashed their bike for whatever reason and used that as an excuse after the fact. So while technically it might be better to get off it like that, I think the times it's happened on purpose could be counted on one hand and were probably done by people who ride dirt and are used to ditching a bike.

Lowsiding and coming out in better shape than if you hadn't is the motorbike equivalent of being thrown safely out of a car that exploded because you weren't wearing a seatbelt.

That is actually incredibly painful to watch. It blows my mind that people think getting a motorcycle without any sort of training or practice is a good idea.

Seems to be a good compromise between ventilation and protection.

At a guess, no protection against penetration and small stones, poor impact performance, and high probability of it catching on stuff.

Something like the Bell 2R or 3R seems like the best you can do ventilation-wise while still having decent protection. You can also remove the chin bar if you're not doing downhill or jumps. Edit: Oh wait those are pretty good, but I think I was thinking of the Fox Proframe, GIANT holes on the front and sides. https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Racing-P...GJR84ECSG27WER1 Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jun 21, 2018 |

Seems to be a good compromise between ventilation and protection. There is one, I've seen it, but I can't for the life of me remember the brand. I think it may have been one of the larger European brands like AGV, or Nolan, or Schuberth. Metal chin bar with supposedly similar crash resistance (I was skeptical), and a flip up face shield. One of the guys who ran the bike shop I used to go to had one.
