Really good question, DAC. At this time of year, as I see how many riders dispense with so much of their safety gear, it makes me even more grateful that I'm an ATGATT kinda girl! No judgement on anyone else, but if I hadn't been fully geared, I would be in much worse shape!
I slid/tumbled/rolled about 30 feet. I wear a leather jacket and armored Kevlar jeans. Granted that I slid in the dirt instead of the asphalt, but I still escaped with zero damage to my jeans and jacket despite the embedded dirt it took me forever to get out - dirt that would have been embedded into my skin without my gear. I'm also attaching a photo of my lid. That's what would have happened to my head/face if I weren't wearing a full face helmet.
I was an ATGATT believer before my crash, and now it's practically my religion!
Sorry. That was probably a much longer answer than you were looking for! LOL
My thanks to all for your good wishes! Keep yourselves safe, and have a great center of riding!
Summer dangit not Center! Lol
