i like that, thats good.Drew said:Also, parked cars with their wheels pointed straight ahead can't pull out in front of you even if they've got their indicators on, whereas parked cars with their wheels moving and pointing into the road can run you over without indicators![]()
+1 to that!Drew said:Also, parked cars with their wheels pointed straight ahead can't pull out in front of you even if they've got their indicators on, whereas parked cars with their wheels moving and pointing into the road can run you over without indicators![]()
I doubt you would actually do that. Its a natural reflex to put your hands out to try and break the fall. Its a nice theory but I think I would still rather hit the ground with my (if possible) forearms first out in front of me than to hit the ground with my arms tucked in.shvlzz said:When you crash, don't use your hands to stop yourself from hitting the ground. It will fuck your hands up.
Try to hit the ground with your whole body so the impact is spread around more surface area, minimising major injure to any particular part of your body. You will however sustain minor injury to ALL of your body, but better to be bruised all over than have two broken wrists.
+1. If you get the opportunity to choose, land on your knees and elbows, that's why they're padded/armoured. If you're wearing proper gear, that is...dayeve said:Its a natural reflex to put your hands out to try and break the fall.
