Saw on tv the other night this experienced rider saying that many riders get injured because when they crash and slide in fabric / synthetic jackets and pants, the fabric grabs the road an causes them to tumble instead of sliding, this causes many injuries that they would not have got had they been wearing leathers which make you skid & slide.
I realise all the bike racers wear leather but I did not realise they do this because of that reason.
Any thoughts?
