I used to read all the FAA airplane accident reports trying to learn from others misfortune.
I'm still curious about the accident.
If your leg was trapped under the bike, does that mean you stayed with it throughout the slide? If so then the tether type air vest wouldn't have deployed.
Also did you have any engine guards? I've wondered if they would prevent getting a leg/foot caught underneath.
I've read they make electronic air vest/jackets.....I assume they are triggered by impact sensors....but cost nearly $2000.
Sorry, not ignoring your injuries....just wondering how to avoid similar circumstances.
