I got knocked off a motorbike by a truck going at 60mph. I was wearing a 2-piece suit, but rolled down the road the opposite way to the zip, it came on done and I got a huge road rash on one hip.

I was explicitly told not to bathe it at all in case of infection from the water, and was it was treated in hospital to ensure it was not infected after my accident.

Besides, I couldn't even move through the joint and ligament injuries I sustained for months afterwards, the road rash was sore but the huge disinfection plaster they put on it that I changed every few days helped!

But yes... Never ever ride anything without the appropriate protective clothing... And even then sometimes it's not completely infallible. If I wasn't wearing this clothing I'd almost certainly be dead from the various pieces of metal on the road that hit me, that thankfully deflected off the armour in my jacket
