So the "Meatloaf" clause applies then?

If after reading that doesn't make those out there wear the appropiate protective gear whilst out riding then all I can say is that have nothing between the ears. Just goes to show you what damage it can do to 1's body by riding without the correct gear on.
It sure has taught her a lesson and a lesson she has to live with for the rest of her life and a life she is lucky to still have.

Around Whangarei lately, I've seen guys on their sprots bikes wearing a helmet .... but in shorts, T's and jandals. Loads of scooter riders in the same kind of clothing. I saw a hot looking young woman the other day wearing a helmet, short dress and sandals while riding her scooter. It was really sweltering here that day, but I couldn't help but imagine what the mess would have been, had she come off ....
It makes me think that the only reason people dress that way, is that they have never come off and can't imagine that they ever will, and have even less perception of the results ...
Feckin scarry really !!!

Exactly,the rider has a serious responsibility when you have a pillion passenger.
If the rider had heeded that and ridden to suit or the passenger had beaten him until he slowed or stopped the outcome would most probably been much different.
How fast do you need to go for the passenger to be jettisoned off the back,certainly not anything approaching sensible.
Perhaps one lesson is,choose carefully who you ride with......

Have read it before, but still worth re-reading as a reminder of what can happen; and that sometimes death ain't a worst-case scenario all the time. She has come through this in remarkable fashion and to be able to recount the incident as a warning to others is quite heroic as far as i'm concerned.
To clarify my "death ain't worst case scenario", I'm sure she is glad to be alive and has indeed survived with a long hard slog. However there are probably some accident victims out there who have perhaps wished that death had taken them when they look back on long, painful and not-entirely-successful rehabilitation.
Food for thought.
Morbid moment over now.

I'm glad someone else has already mentioned it.
What would make a motorcyclist so fucking brain dead that they think, just for shits and giggles they'll accelerate at the maximum possible rate just to give their under-dressed pillion full value for money.
Slapper?
Pillon or not what what defies logic is getting on a motorcycle without good gear,seriously stupid.

My g'f complains when i make her gear up for a ride. But i just tell her ' think about the speed were about to do, what you want to be wearing when you hit the road at that speed'. usually shuts her up
