[QUOTE="holyroller1, post: 170634, member: 23836"] I do agree Roadrash about the reason they don't make them less prone to damage. And actually if we think about collisions in MX they are very much like those in football. For every time you face plant into the face of that last hill in a triple there will be 20 accidents where you only receive glancing blows, maybe run over by a bike or 2:scream:. I have never seen a bad wreck at our track where someone was going over 30MPH and hit something solid. For one thing everything is pretty much padded with straw if it is a solid object, pole,etc... Just a little more trivia: Did you know that kduring one major football collision enough energy is produced to move 23 tons of concrete 1 inch in the air:eek: Or one 200 pound football player running full speed hitting a wall is the same as dropping an 8 pound bowling ball off of a 13 story building. Imagine trying to catch that ball:scream: Sorry I am a football nut. I spend spare time here and on football sites. If you are interested in any good physic related sites that deal with football and the physics of collisions let me know. It is actually a very studied topic. Physicists love football, all the elastic and inelastic collisions really gets them going.:) [/QUOTE]
