There is risk in everything for sure and sometimes, even with the best of gear you might not recover. I spent 6 years after I quit racing dirt track cars, begging and pleading with my wife to finally agree to let me even look at a motorcycle. She, being a nurse has seen the very worst that can happen. She has ridden with me and likes riding a great deal, she often comments on how differently I drive the motorcycle. I just try to be as safety conscious as I can even though I don't always wear all the right gear. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Wear what you want to wear and have fun.
