As stated, life after extreme road rash. Grim reading but if you ever wondered why you should wear all the gear all the time this will point you in the right direction.
Soz if it's a repost.

Have read it before , not sure if here or not, certainly is sobering (500 odd feet is a looong way).

wow - thats an incredible article. so well written, so chilling. A timely reminder to us all. Thanks
Green bling given. Excellent story.
WOW. She has had a harrowing experience, dreadful to read but certainly gets the message across.
Thank you, A great article, poor girl but what a reminder .
I have just had a friend suffer some pretty serious bruising and some cuts after being knocked off his moped by a speeding car, he was wearing a good jacket but also shorts and is now feeling the pain, he was lucky he ditched the bike and was not sent skidding across the road. You just never know.

Urg, poor girl. Out of all the bikes/scooters that come into uni (must be at least 100 different ones) I'm yet to see someone wearing full gear. Damn younguns with their over confidence.
fantastic article...gear has saved my skin once already!

Some years ago,when my mum was a district Nurse she saw me riding in shorts, SO she introduced me too one of her patience's that came off his bike just wearing shorts and jandels.....Certainly made me think then and still does too this day,the image of the riders injuries are still clear in my mind
Always good too see stuff like that just as a reminder of why you should'nt dress that Way
great article but I'm finding it hard to understand how she fell off the back in the first place
Seems strange that you would try to grab the tank and not the rider, even reaching the tank would be a struggle I would of thought
Yes, I find when I pillion on a sportsbike I lean on the tank. Bracing ready for braking, also in the leaned forward pose it is easier than lying on the rider I may have to grab the rider when going over humps at speed and becoming airborne/separate from the seat. Speed and wind are contributing factors, plus sounds like her helmet may have been loosely fastened and started to lift/pull.
It is really important to grip with your legs, too.
