Message: [QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1268345, member: 16469"] In most cases I would agree. If you are endoing badly, I can see how it would be worhwhile to try to get away from the bike. One time I spent 8 hours on a backboard after being knocked out for a while when I crashed like that. Another time I broke my neck when I cased a jump, then rebounded forward and upside down. I just never seem to be able to give up and bail even when I am endoing badly, though. One case where I did bail and it turned out to be the right thing to do was when jumping a tall sand hill (about 75' high). The throttle hung on me at the top and the bike launched. I bailed off the back, pushing the bike forward and me back. I landed about halfway down the hill in soft sand. The bike landed all the way at the bottom. I think I wouldhave been hurt worse if I had landed close to the bottom with the bike. [/QUOTE]
