I crashed heavily last August bank holiday in Akito V-Force leather jeans and jacket (rear suspension on my old Bandit collasped at 50mph). I flew about 12 foot in the air from a highside and slid and rolled to a stop 40 yards from the bike. Everything that the leathers covered was fine and I wore the jacket for months afterwards, but the jeans were cut off me in the ambulance despite looking fine too - the only bit that I injured was my right ankle, and that's my fault for wearing heavy Alpinestars MX boots on a roadbike.

Bloody ankle still hasn't yet healed either.
