Just talked to my cousin...he was riding his motorcycle a few days ago, making a right hand turn, going about 3 mph when some lady hit him from behind going about 45 mph. It threw him over the car, but miraculously he had no broken bones. His helmet is ruined but it is replaceable..his brain wouldn't have been. He was also wearing a motorcycle jacket so not too much road rash. definitely $1000 well spent on the jacket and helmet.
