Having a front tire wash out during a turn, isn't a wreck. It's a "whoops".
Broken collarbones and wrists, aren't serious inquires. Head and neck injuries can be.
I'll sacrifice my hands and arms everytime they could help protect my head.
I tend to agree with you. Maybe people don't expect the worst and want to be up and riding sooner so protect their hands/arms?
Me, I expect the worst and don't want to be drooling like a (bigger) embicile whilst saying "look at my hands, my beautiful hands"
