Last "good" crash was 35MPH impact on the sumoto race bike. It blew my leather jacket zipper open but I had only minor abrasions thru the arms of the jacket. My hand guards were scarred very badly.

That's a bold assumption, you may put your hands out to brace yourself, but I usually tuck my shoulder to to land on my side/back where there is more muscle mass to absorb impact.

Is this the "condescending" post? It doesn't appear very condescending to me.
May you should take a step back and stop forcing your ideas and assumptions on everyone here. When I saw the question it was more of: hey if you ever crash what do you do so u don't get hurt, question. Many of us have crashed and probably will crash again, why do pros like Pedrosa, Rossi, Lorenzo and Marquez crash? They push the limits.
