Strange that these things happen! Some people go 35MPH without protection and survive, and some just fall on the floor from being off balance, and get some serious bruises! I think we should all take a skating course! If there's anything, those young guys know how to fall, without injuring themselves (or at least, how to minimize the impact)! |

Hi
Another instance where wearing a helmet and riding gear meant the difference between life serious injury or possibly even death http://www.impactjackets.com/ Take care and ride safely Yours Hank

That's where I learned to crash BMX and skating crashes...
I wonder how far off topic we can take this?

I'm gonna put my daughter in an older car until she gains a couple years experience. That way it doesn't cost a lot to replace, she can learn how to turn a wrench and she can develop the all important safe driving skills that I feel is the #1 factor in avoiding scooter accidents. New drivers just aren't adept in recognizing hazards soon enough, that comes with experience.

I still believe that a manual shift nonsynchronized or better yet a crashbox car or pickup truck with power nothin (no power windows no power steering, no power brakes, no radio, NO CUPHOLDERS, no power ports/cigarette lighters, would be one of the best ways to learn to drive and its amusing to watch...(especially the trucks I remember watching my 100 lb aunt try to steer my 1962 1 ton ford pickup with no power anything not even a radio at a standstill). Or an old manual foot shift 50cc scooter would be awesome too. I cant help it I'm evil... MUWAHAHAHAHAAA
