A real horror story there Mitch, glad your friend's more or less okay, there is no substitute for good gear and no reason (I can think of) for never wearing it.
He's been rather lucky on this occasion, hopefully it'll teach a few lessons.
This sort of thing certainly does shock you, but I'm sure you'll get your head round it and understand that it's another part of biking you haven't seen before. It's not all fun out there on the road and these sober moments put things into perspective.
