You guys do realize most injuries occur below the waist?

I actually didn't know that, and, thinking about the 6 friends involved in accidents over the last 18 months or so, it's not quite the case.
1 - died (helmet, full leathers) 2 - shattered face, broken ribs, two broken femurs, two broken ankles and I can't even remember what else (he's literally sporting about $2M in titanium now -- and yes, he's riding again) - helmet, textile jacket, jeans, Icon Motorhead boots (he came OUT of the boots on impact) 3 - dislocated shoulder 4 - Broken arm, clavicle, I think a couple cracked ribs (helmet, jacket with spine protector underneath, jeans, boots) 5 - died (no helmet, no leathers) 6 - broken arm & fingers (helmet, leather jacket, jeans, boots) I'm not saying this to be argumentative; I honestly have never heard that most injuries occur below the belt, that's all. |

Of course, I have no factual evidence to back that up. Just something I heard. Makes sense to me....
