The road did have some irregularities and in the debris field I found a wheel weight off a car rim, not sure if it had anything to do with it but maybe.

Although I'm an ATGATT every time I mount my motorcycle, seeing David's injuries is making me reevaluate the areas that I have never considered protecting. Every jacket I own is equipped with armor and a so so back protector, but not the rib cage area. I've ridden with David several times, he's geared up well and I'm assuming that his gear was no different than what I have seen him wear in the past. I don't hear about much road rash or a broken foot, etc. Seems like it's all concentrated in the area that a normal riding jacket does not protect.
Really? Was that your ride to the hospital?
In the event that I suffer injuries from a major off, I expect to get to the hospital in one of these....

I down hill skate board and twice I've landed chest down at at low speed 3 weeks apart. Even if your rib cage holds up, contact and subsequent chest compression & deflection separates cartilage in the sternum and its not fun at all. So to your point, we need more protection. I'll be looking for something.
Thanks for sharing!
UGH!!! I can't believe I'm seeing all these replies just now!!! (Note to self: when I come back from a group ride, new thread is in order with something like "Pictures, Videos, Write-up" in the title) :BLAA:
David, so sorry to read about your crash. I'm very happy to see you're in good spirits and even happier that you were surrounded by such great people and friends when you needed help.
I sincerely hope you make a full, speedy recovery!

Kenny, he was airlifted about 60 miles away from the crash.
Yep, I did get a ride on a helicopter :BLAA:
Thank you much my friend!!!
Jerry is hanging out with me right now! He helped me walk up and down the hallway.... I now know wht the hospital looks like
Still draining close to 200ml of blood every 12h, so will need a bit more time until i get discharged (need to be <100ml/12h). Once they remove the drain tube, i'll be on my way home 24h later :rockon:

Hi David!
I'm glad you are getting mobile already!
A walk down the hall can be good for the body and the soul.
Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Mr. Lucky, err Crash. Didn't we chat about this a couple of years ago and you said you didn't crash.
Get well Brother!
Get well Brother!
When I crashed a year ago at the track I had a Knox back and chest protector on, and still broke a rib. It happens, and it sure hurts!
First of all, David, I wish you a speedy recovery. Thankfully the outcome is better than it could have been, it sounds like. Thank goodness dude! :thumbup:
Secondly, that'll buff right out:

Its a combination of the Morphine and not being up and about. Your gut has just slowed down a tad.
Good luck on the poo.
