this is the only trick. and get away from the machine as it goes down.

 

Don't try to catch yourself with your hands... you can break a wrist/arm just trying to catch yourself falling while snowboarding, much less goin 30 on a bike. If your gonna catch yourself get some elbow pads and land on your elbow/flat side of your forarms it would be much better if you can think fast enough to tuck and roll...

i wrecked few times over 30 40 mph..i never broke anything in my life,they tolled me at the hospital that i had strong bones..

 

I WRECKED EARLIER THIS YEAR AND WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE
AND JUST GOT ALL MY BILLS AND EVERYTHING TOTALS UP TOABOUT 4500 AND THATS NOT COUNTING FIXING MY BIKE WHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL THEY SAID I WOULD GET FINANCIAL AID AND THE TRUTH IS I CANT BECAUSE IT WAS A BIKE WRECK SO THEY DONT HELP WITH ANYTHING AUTOMOBILE RELATED

 

like a few people said already don't put your hands out when your falling , tuck and roll ftw

 

What kind of health insurance are we talking? I have state min on my bike, but great great health insurance through my dad's company. Will I be covered in a bike accident, or will the health ins try to kick it back to my bike ins (there is none) so I get fucked?

I've got Aetna.

 

Brake control?

 

im with everyone else TUCK AND ROLL !! are you breaking you wrist or forarm??

 

haha thats what I was about to say , Im lucky to have kickass health insurance, 2 years ago I was in the hospital 3 weeks and had 3 surgeries and didnt pay a dime

 

breakin bones is xpensive,
tuck-n-roll

 

Thanks for the useful input everyone

 

you can see how he would have broke his left arm if he had put it out to catch himself.

tuck n roll.

 

best way is to land on ur feet... but seriously tuck and roll, like its already been said... getting some scrapes up ur arm and back and maybe some bruises on ur shoulder is way better than posting ur arm and breaking it or worse... blowing ur elbow out

 

DAMN!!

 

yea, a lot of you guys "Canadians" come down here to get drunk, go through our trash and screw our dogs..... life sucks man. we just gotta learn to deal with it. we are neighbors

 

I was going to post something like this for you. Looks like the purpose of the thread (asking advice), turned into what the cost of medical care are.

I would use body arm gear, they have some nice stuff out there and if you are not wearing a jacket with gear, I would say get one. I know some people that were lucky they didn't break there arm(s) from a simple crash since they had it on.

Good luck to you and drink your milk boy!
