When don't I get hurt riding

And that was a joke BTW. I get scratched up just from branches in the woods it is to be expected. I had 2 bad rollovers and walked away with a bruised ego so anything can happen I have caused more damage to my body riding bmx bikes then anything else in my 43 years. And I unfortunately have broken 3 toes in my living room so I know how that goes. The guy on that forum talking about not riding when older is ridiculous. I know a ton of guys in their 60s and even 70s who ride like they were kids, 100 mile days WOT and they ride areas like Moab not some flat fire roads

 

ridding is just like comen sense you can ether take risk and do dangerous things that are fun slow boring rides like for me im 20 and i ride extreamly hard today was acctually the first time ever flipping sence i had my 400 outlander 2003 four wheel wasnt working right and it was in 2 wheel tried going up it and it stopped and just dug in then i mest around with the switch got it to engage and in low gear i hammered the gas and i hit the same spot and next thing i know things im laing in the mud with the handle bars on my waist just ended up with a sore back from landing on a log and a few bruises

 

I have been burned a few times. I did detach my nose form my face and sever my lip in half. Had it not been for the helmet I would likely be dead. None of which was anyones fault but my own. I am the one who chose to ride the way I did. Long story short I now ride slower these days.

 

I havent had it too bad, worst ive had was stitches and staples in my head, both was from same accident.

 

I have crashed hard multiple times, and been hurt in the process. HOWEVER, I do race my machines, and generally ride fast, so that is to be expected. When I am out for a relaxing trail ride, I have not been hurt yet.

 

hurt my feelings to havta leave the creek,..an head home bout a hour ago....man it wuz fun!!

 

I hit a root on a narrow trail which caused me to lurch forward pressing the throttle lever down. That launched me off the trail into a tree. My helmet saved my noggin but I separated my shoulder in the process. Another time I rolled it in the snow and broke a couple ribs.

In neither case was I hot *******. Those incidents were just a matter of circumstances.

 

Anything is possible thats why it's called an accident. I just hope the outcome on anyones incident is minor. Now to answer the question, yup had some scraps and bruise on atv.
