Hi
Always wear your gear and helmet, it doesn't matter if your going 50 mph or 5 mph an accident can cause injury

Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank

Sadly so true. In 1993 my brother-in-law, 26 at the time, was hit from behind in a parking lot. The car that hit him was going less than 10 mph. He was going just fast enough to make headway, about 5mph.

He was wearing a top of the line Bell helmet. Upon impact he sustained a brain stem injury that has left him with zero short term memory and a severly compromised body.

Less than 5 mph. Always wear your gear.

Always.

WOW!
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)!
