(these are from motocross and mtb) so far i've Broken left forearm Broken left wrist Broken right elbow (growth plate, whatever its called) Broken right ankle Knocked out 5 or 6 times now and now i'm nursing an injury that has put me out for 9 months; torn ACL which i had to get surgery to graft my hamstring as a new ACL.
Not fun but then again almost every rider out there has had some sort of injury, i just have bad luck, but at the same time there are heaps of riders out there that are a lot worst off then me.
Wear armour and helmets, it will prevent many of the injuries people get biking.
i wear armor motocross racing and a helmet, and i wear a helmet when i ride mtb but its still really easy to get knocked out. but ur right it will prevent more injuries
