But I'm thinking the majority of people in the 41 would rather avoid crash situations than suit up for them. That simply isn't the case with those that race.

Tulex, I'll agree with you to a point, but I took away from this thread what umd intended. Base layers can help minimize the road rash. Gravity doesn't care if you are riding in a group or hit a pothole descending a hill on a commute. Often times an accident is just that, and it cannot be planned for except in hindsight. Live and learn, or in this case, ride and learn
