ATGATT. This is why.

[Dodgyloss]

I attempted an emergency stop a freshly rained (oily) road near Woolsely and came off today. The chunks out of the road are where I went down, the ambulance is where I stopped sliding.

Gear:
Airoh S5 Helmet
Alpine Stars Bionic neck brace
Alpine Stars Tech Touring jacket, elbow/shoulder pads inserted
Alpine Stars winter gloves (textile)
RST Pants (knee pads removed), side pants inserted.
Alpine Stars Bionic knee braces
Fox Comp-5 Boots

Total injury tally:

A tender rib (landed on my asthma pump in the side pocket of my backpack) and bump on my elbow. Nothing deep heat and scotch can't solve.

I could very easily be sending this mail form an emergency room, instead the only blood drawn was when then ambulance tested me for booze.

Stay safe. ATGATT.
