so lets do some calculations on vague ideas... lets say the ninja and you and a passenger weigh 1000lbs (450kg), and lets say you hit 6 inch bump (roughly the max suspension travel) going 100mph (44meters per second squared, about 2k)
450kg * 2000 = 900,000 newtons.
thats leaving a lot of things out, but thats probably about the most force those bones will ever take
lets get a more realistic number, eh?
600lbs (272kg), at 30mps (65mph)
272kg * (30*30) = 244,800 newtons. much more reasonable.

dude...it's Newton's second law, F=MA. The "A" does not stand for Velocity.
