Default Always wear yer ferkin leathers. Graffic images.

Some how the old thread seems to have gone missing. So again, as a reminder to all, that these injuries were sustained whilst fully kitted up. I would have been dead had I not been wearing the correct gear.

For those that don't know, I slid off the bike whilst going round an exit of a motorway junction and hit the barriers.

1st day awake in intensive care.



11 broken ribs (some of them broken in more than one place) and a smashed pelvis.



Punctured lung and the other collapsed.



Area where pelvis pieces tried to exit my body.



This damage was done through leather AND kevlar elbow armour, without it I would not like to think what the damage would have been.



These photo's have not been shown for any comments or response. They are here to allow you to see what damage can be caused even when wearing full protective equipment. Without it I would not be here now. Maybe you will reconsider riding without good gear to keep you protected as you can. Your call.

Thanks for looking.
