Saw this on a sport bike board ...

(I had to edit out all the profanities to pass the filter)

Like a helmet and protective clothing are going to help at 310km/h.

Yes it does. You see it all the time in SBK and MotoGP. Granted he doesnt hit anything else... like a pole. 😛

Yeah it's really neat watching those races cause a guy will bail at 175 mph, slide around for a while, and get up like nothing happened.

i'd love to try that if the chances were good that I would not get hurt. It'd probably be as scary and thrilling as bungee jumping (for me at least, i'm afraid of heights)
