Road rash queen
This pic has been posted before. I found the account of the accident and ensuing 2+ month hospitalization written by the girl. It has interesting information on how severe road rash is treated.

on a serious note....did you see her 'its been a year' pic? god, i feel so bad for her. shes a beautiful girl, and it looks like shes going to be pretty badly scarred up for life. 
maybe some plastic surgeon with a penchant for pretty athletic blonde women will have a heart and do some pro-bono work. or was a deal like this mentioned in the article? lol i stopped reading when the kids tackled me. doh!

It may be from a motorcycle, but it's still interesting. I've been riding both motorcycles and bicycles for several decades and I've gotten much worse road rash from bicycling simply because you can't wear any protection... at least not without overheating in about 12 seconds. I've seen people go down at close to 200mph at the track and because they were wearing a full leather suit, they walked away. On a bicycle, you have nothing, and at speeds of 40+ mph, you can get a nasty rash. Heck, I got a pretty nice one from hitting some gravel in a turn at about 18mph.
