35mph impact is not modest by any stretch of the imagination. Besides, it has to do with leverage as to if the car was spun. Crush analysis and skid analysis was completed putting the impact speed at 35mph. I'm not going to do the math for you tonight, but that is a LOT of energy being transferred at a near 90 degree angle.
OK,
You know, I'm not tryin' to put you on the spot here or anything so maybe we could call in the experts, the physicists.
Winsor? Proffesor(Did I spell that right?

Because I'm thinking that a canopy under the right wing loading could travel at 35 mph and the suspended weight of the jumper could reasonably be in the 200 pound area .
I'm having trouble imagining 5 200 pound jumpers flying their canopies at 35 mph simultaneously hitting a "very large SUV" and causing it to spin 360 degrees three times.
Are you certain,Dave, the spinning of the SUV was caused by the energy of the motorcyclist and his motorcycle or is it possible that the spinning was caused by the momentum of the SUV and the incorrect action/reaction of the suv driver?
Oh.., one more thing..,
If the helmet did fail at 35 miles per hour, are they really worth stripping away my Freedom to choose?Do you advocate that? Most of my riding is in excess of 65 mph. That brain bucket won't be doin' me a heap of protecti'n, will it?

hey tough guy go fast motorbike rider..
Try this
being in complete control of a bike is a lot harder than allowing speed to manage the bike
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

Not sure how it's helpin' to catch criminals but atleast we know that one fat ass cop can park our motorcycle at Dunkin' Doughuts pretty damn well!

Most people around here drive on the highway in excess of 65mph. Airbags and seatbelts won't do a damn thing for you if you hit something at 65mph. Yet they save a lot of lives in highway crashes. Can you guess why?

You realize that this is what I do professionally, right?

Anyways, believe what you want, if you're ever on a jury then we'll spend some time going over the details.
A quick recap thus far:
1. Helmets can and do save lives.
2. Civilian rider training is lacking badly.
3. Most civilian riders just aren't that good of riders (just like most drivers).
4. Bad choices can put you in situations in which a helmet will do you no good.
Where I live we don't have a helmet law. But I own 5 different helmets. Sometimes I wear one and sometimes I don't. It's kinda like the seatbelt law. I don't wear it because I'm told to. I wear it because I am a firm believer in it. It should be my choice.
We also do not have to carry mandatory motorcycle insurance. But guess what? I carry a $500,000 policy. So you won't have to pay for my ass when some stupid fuck that has no insurance of his own takes me out on my bike.
I'm pretty damn tired of the gov. telling me what's good for me and what's not.
I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
