Default Too much lean angle
I pick this photo up on another forum. It may have been already posted here. In any case, it shows a accident that should tell all of us to ware the proper gear because things happen.

No one is telling you to do a thing. Your life, your choice as to what you want to ride or ware. The picture only illustrates IF they where wearing the proper gear, it may have saved them some skin or even death. By the way, Al Pacino is punk!

Maybe we should learn how to ride and quit trying to show how cool or brave we are.

Careful, Al Pacino has a little friend he might want you to meet. Either that or he might make you an offer you can't refuse.
