of course there would be a greater chance for survival. At 71 and a motorcycle crash survivor Us older riders have brittler bones lowering our chances of surviving such crashes. We all are free to choose what level of risk we will bear while enjoying the things life has to offer. A month bolted to a frame in ICU was tested my limit of endurance. My condolences to his family. All Harley Riders are good people. Us old geezers who aren’t in wheel chairs limp a lot.
