I wear Motoport armored gear plus an air bag vest with a full helmet.
I was riding with several friends this morning.
One failed to make a left turn. Cut it wide, went on the grass shoulder, corrected, high sided and went 15 feet through the air. She was riding right behind me. She is a very experienced rider so I don't know why this happened. Probably just chit happens eventually to all of us.
You can see her helmet. The helmet saved her life. She was unconscious.
You can't see the scrapes on her back or her hip. She will survive but take a while recovering.
I know I would feel the landing but my gear would save me from the scrapes and broken hip.
Of my gang I am the only one who wears full gear. I do not mean to preach here but I am saying good gear saves a world of hurt.
