I've policed a few where human injury and bike damage just don't match. It's apparent from the bike damage shown in your picture that your friend won the mismatch.
I also saw another deluxe hit the classified in my neck of the woods so a bit of a drive for your friend but here it is nonetheless. Praying your friend has a fast recovery.

The Great Lakes, great people and a great bike
Apropos the mismatch between injury and damage, I came across [url=http://motorcycleminds.org/virtuallibrary/motorcyclesafety/Effects%20of%20ABS%20on%20motorcycle%20%20crashes%2025_03_17.pdf]this study into ABS brakes which, amongst other things, makes the observation that, "... the evidence in this study suggests that the injury outcome appears to be nearly random, or rather it is dependent on circumstances other than speed". I suspect that circumstances rather than consistently specific factors may also dictate the level of damage to bikes.
Hope Garcia's doing OK. And you, too, Rob.
