LOL, some of us just never grow up?? That's always been my excuse at leastSo what's our excuse?
As someone who has been there and done that, I concur. However, in my case it likely was the better alternative. And before anyone chimes in with, "well, you shoulda...", I was driving a car built in the '30s. I still have a lot of neck and back problems but flopping out the door and landing in the street was better than a banjo wheel poking through my chest cavity and my face through the windshield. I wasn't taking a selfie when it happened either.Being ejected from a vehicle is not good for your health.

Well I don't know about all that fancy Latin terminology but my problem was (is) usually cranial rectal inversion.For guys.... usually poonanniecranialitus.
Of all the times I fell off a bike, whether it was a bicycle or motorcycle, in none of them did I want to be attached to the bike.Seat belts should be required on motorcycles as well...
And ban selfies

Otherwise I'd be handlebars the clown and not Boboclown.
Then again... These days kids need seatbelts on everything! Even desk chairs.

No doubt. A couple weeks ago when I took an unexpected flight (off the bike, over the bars) after the bike hit a gravel patch in a corner and slid me into the ditch, I wanted to be anywhere but on the bike as it flipped end-over-end and front-to-back. Ok, so I didn't want to be in the ambulance afterward, or in the ER, but just about anywhere other than on the bike as it performed its impromptu aerial acrobatics.
(and yes, I'm doing ok now. A bit stiff and sore still, closed fractures of T7/T8, but I was able to walk out of the hospital under my own power. Bike was totaled, darnit, and another one will be coming as soon as the insurance payout happens)
