Still recovering. But if it wasnt for his gear he woulda died for sure.

damn.
I low sided my ZX-6R about 10 years ago doing about 45-ish. I was wearing full gear, and suffered a broken rib and a broken bone in my hand. After the wreck when I got home, I noticed a quarter sized chunck missing from the back of my helmet. I would've been dead I'm sure.
riding pants with armor, jacket with armor, racing boots, gloves saved my hide and ankles for sure. No road rash. Just sore as shit for the next week.
