Beyond reckless
As you know I am not too keen on draconian law enforcement, however these two clowns should be banged up for a couple of years with their licenses in the shredder.
Undertaking trucks on the hard shoulder at near 180mph won't be the only undertaking going on Jeez Last futzed with by Ninjinsky; November 13th, 2015 at 07:10 PM. |

At that 185-190mph spot, I'm not sure if gear'll save you.

Yes, it will. I have seen a rider slide over 500ft. The rider left with a broken back from a wall impact, but no rash. Without gear, he surely would have died at the scene.

Yep, at home and currently rehabbing the injury and will have to wear a back brace for the next 2yrs most likely. :\
The back protector is being credited for him not folding up like a wet paper towel when he hit the wall. Not bad really considering 2 riders went down at 145mph at the track. The incident ended EVERYONE's track day... because both ambulances had to leave the track. The track cannot run sessions without at least one ambulance onsite. Nobody really cared that much though, we all had a beer for their safe and quick return home.

Oh! I never did say... just so you know and all. It was textile gear too. After that... nobody says sh*t about cortech textile gear (2 piece zip together).

Leather is durable, but textile gets the job done at least one time.

Top half is geared up, there's a speed hump on the jacket (so very likely it's armoured leather), helmet & gloves. Jeans & trainers aren't a good idea but the blade pilot is at least partially geared up.
Playing on the hard shoulder of a 60-80mph road at near 200 is asking to become a speed bump for whoever you've passed, in that case even the best gear money can buy will just hold everything in a human shaped bag... |

That appears to be a lot of trust in the existence of clear shoulders and the adequacy of grip on those nice painted lines.
Already addressed earlier in the thread, but keep in mind plenty of gear is designed for actual racers. Mere mortals might not hit these speeds often, but the gear is up to the task - unless you the consumer choose to buy less protective equipment. I guess I'm just callous, but are the potential endings really sad for these guys? As long as they don't make it a team sport, so to speak, I struggle to feel sympathetic. The externalities are a different story though.

If one crashes in a random area on the street, the likelihood that they can lose control at these speeds and slide harmlessly to a stop without hitting anything (or being hit by something) isn't something I'd bet on.

I'll guarantee you will hit something 99 times out of 100 and be dead in a 190 mph crash on the street.

At those speeds on the street, I believe that statement to be completely wrong. It's just a random crapshoot of what you hit and at what speed at that time; the quality of the gear is a much lower determinant. It would only come into play once the speeds came down quite a bit, and one piece of gear might last longer before sliding through, or provided slightly better impact protection in a survivable impact.
