[QUOTE="James, post: 100958, member: 2"] I somewhat disagree with you, I strongly believe that staying on the bike will slow you down in a "safer" way. However JAX did bring up a good point on the seat hitting the arse (injuring your spine). Yes the suspension fully compressed, however it's supposed to do that. What you're forgetting is that the suspension will slowly bottom out as it goes through the full stroke. Dirt doesn't give, you'll stop as soon as you hit it. Compare it to the SAFER walls that NASCAR has, that extra little room that it gives to slow you down has been proven to reduce the impact force. Go hit a 50ft tabletop like you normally would. Next bail on this same jump and land on your feet. Which is going to hurt more? :noidea: [/QUOTE]
