I'd have had a hood ornament stuck in my chest had I been strapped in. I raced motorcycles for years, crashed at over 80 too many times to count. Walked away from all but one that rang my bell a bit too hard. lol
Nothing is 100 percent, never will be. I'll take my chances thank you. Where do you call it quits? When they enforce wearing anti skid slippers in the shower so you don't break your neck?
You were lucky if you were in a car. The air bag is supposed to help. On a motorcycle it is different. You need to be thrown clear. I’ve been t-boned at the front wheel just in front of my knee. I was wearing full gear and injuries were not too bad. I like my life so no Russian roulette for me.
