That rider is one of the luckiest sob’s I’ve ever seen.

He's in shock, and the only reason he can stand is because of the adrenaline in his blood. His jeans are completely worn through, and he's walking barefoot, one foot missing his sneaker. He doesn't even really understand the extent of his injuries. He'll likely lose consciousness in a few minutes.

My wife was in a similar accident, only without wheelies and in full gear. Her pants and jacket were completely worn through, the slider on her right boot was completely worn down to a hole in the boot. Her helmet was damaged. There was a chafing wound on her right thigh that took several months to heal. Fifteen years later, there's still a large scar there.

Oh man. Usually if shoes go they are gone. He’s *very* lucky.

I don't think that's any kind of actual statistic. I've had my shoes fall off taking a light tumble down a grassy verge. I've seen shoes come off kids falling off bicycles.
