Many will know of the recent crash the other day between maxwrist and 2wheeljesus
(most of us who have seen these guys videos probably have pretty firm ideas on what they think of heir riding styles, I know I do, but none of us wish injury to any other rider I'm sure).
YouTuber and fireman 'dandanthefireman' (a paramedic) has done a video which is long but worth watching.
He discusses: mechanisms of injury (specifically the various types of brain injury), accident scene triage, what to do if you come across a serious accident, the importance of first aid training, and gear.
The key message on the gear front is - even if you have the 'best' protective gear there are so many variables in a collision or other accident that the gear will not be enough to save you.
Remember - The BEST accident mitigation device you have is your brain - the decisions you make and how you choose to ride in any given circumstances.
