It gives an appreciation of the technology involved in keeping your face from the tarmac and the "Girls in action" gallery is compulsive viewing for red-blooded lady biker fans!

The section 'Carnage' is sometimes just painful to see. The rash and bleeding cuts don't bother me so much, nor the pins in broken arms and wrists. It's the photos of people who are nosediving which have me wonder how you can survive such crashes. Human bodies are apparently a lot sturdier than I thought... See this picture, for example.

People that do stuff like that are seriously mentally ill.

All that risk for a bit of adrenaline?!?!?! Give me synthetic stimulants anyday! ;-)

I love biking but there's no way you'd catch me doing {bleep} like that.

Am still having painful memories of my crash last year when I ended up with severe bruising on my inner thighs and much worse.  Now that picture would have made a great carnage photo.
