when I drove my Suzuki Shuttle FA50, since it could go up to 45 MPH...and one of the few times I didn't wear my helmet, I locked the front brakes while slowing for a stop sign and was tossed over the handlebars onto the pavement - thankfully I protected my head/face with the full length cast on my right arm (From a wrist fracture while playing baseball) however I tore skin off my elbows and knees (Still have some of the scarring on my knees 24 years later)...

On the positive side of things, my wrist didn't hurt as much after that accident thanks in part to me knees and elbows
