After over 20+ years of seeing this type of loss daily - I wish I could show you a few that would make this one look like a light fender bender...

You know at the speed it had to take to do that damage,and it looks like the forks were turned either before or during the impact, ejection would've likely been the riders best bet. Now combined with an Airbag jacket (unlikely I know) you just might survive with minor to moderate injuries. But no one can deny it looks real bad. I saw the damage to a memebers bike on this forum who had his foot just about ripped off. I can't think of who it is right now. This looks WAYYYYYYY worse than his bike did. Almost looks like a no brake 70 mph hit. I'm going to run these photosby and Accident reconstructionist at work tomorrow.
