It's ridiculously easy to be killed by a slight upward blow to the chin. Ask Dale Earnhardt. It's also very hard to kiss the bride with a reconstructed chin. Carry on................. ......
Your point is valid. However, don't discount the fact that a slight upward blow to the chin can result in a fatality from a seemingly extremely light blow.This is the advantage of a full face. Not telling anyone what to do, mind, and it's not much of a leap to figure hitting a brick wall at 100mph is survivable, but a slight tumble or very low speed impact? No, not every time. I boxed, I get it. But, it's the main reason my surgeon riding friends use a full face. They understand how vulnerable that area really is. Just trying to add to the knowledge base, not preaching.
yep. I've seen those reports. I was oversimplify for brevity. It remains a valid thought that if he's used a simple additional device (Hanns or similar) the outcome would almost assuredly have been different. IIRC, did that incident also drive Simpson out of business or something like that? Bottom line point is that it's a valid concern with an unprotected chin. Simply educational. I care not about anybody's risk tolerance-heck, we ride MOTORCYCLES! Risky enough as it is. To each their own.Anyway, 200G's is beyond horrific. Verstappen hit at approx 65 G's at the "incident" with Hamilton at the British GP a few weeks ago. Wow.
