How to crash your motorcycle and walk away unscathed

In the video you're about to see, you will witness about a half a dozen motorcycle riders crash at high speed and then get up and walk away. How do they avoid injury?

They are wearing protective racing suits that protect against abrasion injuries and cushion the fall. In the second video you will see the features of these suits and how they survive a fall.

Another must is a high-end helmet. Another shocking video catches a graphic motorcycle accident where the rider survived and credited his survival to an excellent suit and helmet.

So no matter how wet the weather, the brakes still work the way they should. Of course, the better you see, the better off you are. So the BMW is fitted with that quartz halogen headlight, without question the most powerful light available on a production bike today....
