[QUOTE="Pr1malr8ge, post: 101296, member: 16"] Ok, here is my view on things.. I have been in several crashes. After review this crash I too would have bailed.. 90% of all crashes bailing from the bike most of the time will result in a higher degree of injury. But there is a few crashes that you will fair better if your bail from the bike... This to me is one of them.. The reason I say this is because of the fact the bike is going to frame out.. James claims that the suspension will slow you down lessing the damage.. Unfortunatly in the way this bike was going to land is not the case[pun intended] The bike is going to land in two options. you have the frame out i.e. landing directly on the frame inbetween the wheels on the peak of the landing if he tried to pull the front wheel down and over the peak of the landing. This well will be no diffrent then bailing and now the rider is in extream proximity of the bike landing on him. or.. he lands on rear wheel which he will just be pulled right off the bike directly into the ground butt first.. I see no option where the suspension of the bike being able to slow his decent.. With that stayin on the bike only would have added to being in way to close proximity of the bike possibly resulting in a foot ped in the head, neck, spine, abdomen possibly resulting in death, or paraplegic or quadriplegic.... A jump of that speed that angle and height is just going to F your world up.. [/QUOTE]
