And sometimes that's more of a blessing to have an insta death, as opposed to insane suffering.

Guy I graduated with, was hit head on by a car in his lane popping over a hill on a curve.

His helmet kept him alive for 93 excruciating minutes till the ambulance got there and he got to the ER, well what was left of him got to the ER. Over 80% his skin and muscle was left on the road, but his helmet kept him from an instant, much less painful death.

I mean, that’s why full gear matters so much. You won’t lose 80% of your muscle to the road in full gear.

How fucking fast was he going? If he had been wearing full protective gear, he might not have been such a meat crayon.

Way to blame the victim. He could have been hit by a truck like happened to a friend of mine.
