Young lad got away with bruises and scrapes to his leg, but the guy behind me wasn't so lucky and will be out of action for a few months with a separated shoulder/clavicle and torn ligaments.
I'm glad you are relatively okay. I have a question, did you have your glasses inside or outside your helmet straps? A friend of mine had hers under her strap and ended up getting some plastic surgery. Ever since then my glasses are always ouside my straps, I want them to fly off during a crash.
