One last thought and I'll let this thread sink into oblivion.

I'll draw an analogy: You've got 2 guys standing side by side ready to take a long motorcycle ride. One guy is heavy and old and has no helmet, no armored jacket, no gloves, no face mask, no boots. The other guy is thin and sleek looking, has a full, under the chin helmet, full armor jacket, armor pants attached, heavy gloves, kevlar boots, the whole works.

The heavy guy gets on his Harley, hits the highway and cruises up to the 60 mph speed limit. The full gear guy gets on his GSX R1000 kicks it in the ass and goes into a wide sweeper at about 130 mph with his inside knee scraping the pavement.

Who is in the "best practices" gear. Who is the safest?
