The deadly mathematics of motorcycling

interesting concept, you got the force, vs inertia calculations correct, the problem is that you are not hitting concrete at a 90* angle, it's a shallower angle allowing most of this force to be traded off as friction of leathers or maybe our own skin skidding on the floor so this fall in turn is being transferred into something survivable. Unless you hit something like a curb or a wall. Riding is something that needs to be done with maturity and leave the racing for the track. I haven't been riding long, (3 years) but I always keep in the back of my mind the risk of losing my life if Im not being careful.
