One night, two friends and I were in an accident that sent our car spinning thru the air and landed over 400ft from where we left the road. The car was completely destroyed, inside and out, and the worst injury was the driver's dislocated thumb. Point being, there's nothing illogical about his recent weak spot being the #1 area to receive damage, and since he waswearing a helmet, I don't persponally doubt any more than a few scrapes and bruises at 30 mph.

If this turns out to be the work that everyone has sunk their teeth into, great -- you were al right from the start, and cheers to that. But calling it "suspicios" and whatnot is a little goofy.

Yeah, it is more likely that you'll injure an already injured area. I injured my shoulder doing Aikido, and since then, I've re-injured it twice. It's even worse if it doesn't heal properly, but any such injury will continue to be aliability, period.

Moonraker, a friend of mine was ejected from my Chevy Caprice as it rolled into a ditch. I was lucky enough to be kicked back on solid ground. It knocked the wind out of me, left me blacked out for a couple of seconds. He got hurled over an embankement. His worst injury, with no helmet or leathers? A concussion. May car wasn't completely wrecked like the example AL's giving, but he fell down an embankment after being ejected by a rather heavy vehicle (Many times what Orton's Motorcycle likely weighed). It wasn't moving at full speed, but even ten miles an hour could very easily deliver twice the force of a motorcycle accident, and that's assuming Orton was being a reckless asshat. You know, because he is one.

EDIT: One of the main reasons motorcycle accidents are so dangerous, by the way, is the lack of safety features in cars. A car's frame will crumple to cushion the blow, and you have seatbelts to keep you from being ejected, etc. So once you take away factors like protection, you're talking a much more dangerous scenario than a bike.
