[QUOTE="James, post: 54539, member: 2"] There's actually a theory behind that....:thinking: Supposedly if you have a slow speed crash your injury rate is higher as your body will take a harder impact. Basically the slower you travel forward the faster you'll descend (fall) to the ground. Then on the opposite end, the faster you travel forward the slower you'll descend/fall. For example, remember that "superman" video I posted the other day? (:smirk:) Well what you didn't know is that I also crashed in a corner that day and IMO that actually hurt worse. :crash: :cripple: However it wasn't as spectacular so I didn't post it. :P [/QUOTE]
