Fairly well for a 75-80mph forced dismount... broken (pinned) finger on right hand is the only broken bone. Alot of rash on tops of both hands, lost most skin on right knee and did something bad (internally) to left knee. I can't squat or left knee will give out and will end up on the floor.
Nearly 1 month after the accident and it still hurts to stand up from seated position, sit down from standing position, lie down in bed, or get out of bed. Steps are semi-challenging and to kneel on the garage floor is still nearly impossible
We never think we're gonna crash. I'm always looking out for cagers, always aware of my surroundings. I wasn't expecting a deer that morning.
I wish I had been wearing more gear... was wearing office attire and a half-helmet. I'm not quite sure how my face didn't hit the road (only one mark on the helmet and not a scratch on my noggin) but will think twice about wearing a full-faced one in the future. I'm not sure if I can talk myself into wearing chaps but will have protective gear for my body before I ever throw a leg over the saddle again...i was foolish for not wearing the right stuff.
ps...as a cyclist we're sold gloves with ballistic knuckles...i would tell you that ballistic-palmed gloves would be just as (perhaps more) helpful as both of my palms were instinctively the first thing that hit the asphalt trying to break my fall...both palms were bruised ....left one still hurts to put weight on it
