Hope OP is recovering perfectly, something that does not kill you make you stronger.

Now; I like to agree with the quote above and I feel this statement is more or less correct, but it is against the logic, more speed more momentum and the harder inelastic collision of the rider against the pavement trees etc, unless it is somehow an elastic collision, that you would slide for long enough to reduce most of your momentum. It is how fast you come to an stop that is scary.

Does anyone else would like to shed light on this, discuss this please?

Thanks.
