Videos like this make me glad I spent the money on an airbag jacket. Get well soon. |

Sorry to hear about the crash but sounds as if the injuries all all ones that will heal. A back or neck injury might not be the same. So while this is painful the outcome could have been worse. I was wondering if that suit could be repaired. Sure, it would have an "interesting" patch applied but it might be a quite functional track suit. |

Thanks for posting SalemCBR, teachable moments throughout including the pain & recovery, damage and repair costs. Crashing sucks.

After further review I'm struck by how similar SalemCBR's crash is to the Ninja rider in this video. That rider is wearing an airbag vest. The last clear view of the Ninja guy's speedometer is 71mph, just before he leaves the pavement. He pops up apparently and reportedly unhurt. The last clear view of SalemCBR's speedometer as he leaves the pavement is 48mph, and he sustains the injuries he listed. It's not a scientific comparison, of course, but methinks rider airbags are a really good idea. |

I'm thinking I'll have an airbag vest or a suit on when I'm cleared to ride. Chop |

Blah blah blah "...group rides..." What was the "risky behavior" in the group that contributed to this crash? It looks like things went south at 3:52 or 3:53 after the rider had first accelerated into the turn and then slowed from around 60 mph or so on what appears to be a pretty easy left-hand turn. Crossed the fog line at 50ish. Was it the car headed the other way that caused the whole thing? It seems like that guy was hugging his own right-hand line and wasn't really a cause for concern. I see no riders doing anything particularly fucked up right before the crash except maybe the one right in front of the crasher was slowing/braking for the second half of the turn. Was that it? I know the fish-eye effect of the gopro messes with the apparent distances. |

Looks to me as if OP flipped down his shield when he was already a little wide and then didn’t correct and kept too wide to pull it back. Maybe lost a little ground at the same time and tried to catch up to stay in formation which made the situation worse. The way the group rides though, I expect we can enjoy lots of Salem crash videos in the future. |
