[QUOTE="yamadogyz, post: 100954, member: 377"] I can say that he definitely made the right choice to bail. The suspension fully compressed into the face of the jump with no additional weight. When the suspension compressed out, not only do his legs and back take the blow, but then he is wrapped up going into or over the bars, much closer to the flying 220 lb piece of steel and aluminum. Also, think back to when you cased something hard and came down on your balls, now compare it to this. There's more to it, it's a problem for your bike to come down on you, but you coming down on the bike can be just as bad. The suspension wouldn't slow this guy down, his bike would have just done more damage, but in the end, it's all to the half second discretion of the rider. Heal up Rice :thumb: [/QUOTE]
