I started to bring this up in the gloves thread, but decided it might be better to start a new thread rather than threadjack
How many of you remember the details of your crashes/accidents (motorcycle or otherwise)?
Some people react differently as a reflex.
I watched my brother-in-law go down at low speed once. (He slipped on gravel pulling back onto the road waiting for me to catch up to him.)
He was only wearing a helmet but the way he fell, he basically tipped over completely and hit head first. He was banged up on his elbow and knee but his hands were fine...
When I asked him what was going through his head when he fell, he couldn't remember. He said he felt the back wheel sliding out from under him, the next thing he knew, I was pulling the Harley (The reason he fell IMO:Flip off of his leg and asking if he was alright...
He blacked out as a mental reflex and I guess just went limp.
As for myself, I remember every time that I've ever fallen, had something hit me in the face etc... and the hands were the first to hit.
