i went down towards the end of the day in turn 2 at willow. gear saved my life. put me in the same crash situation with no gear... my brains would have been all over the place,, and my body would have been in pieces.. but because of the gear,, and i went straight home to bed! no hospital visit( which i probably should have done)
