CDOT Motorcycle Video (Graphic)

THE DREAM OF THE OPEN ROADS (Does Not Include Accidents)

The Colorado Department of Transportation has produced a video about the hazards of not wearing motorcycle gear.  The video graphically depicts what can happen to riders who don't where helmets or riding gear.

As a motorcycle accident lawyer, I can tell you from experience that not wearing a helmet and leathers comes at a steep cost if you get in an accident.  I have had clients have their entire leg de-gloved (the skin from their ankle all the way up to their thigh was torn off) because they weren't wearing protective riding gear.  I once had a client who had his right ear de-gloved because he wasn't wearing a helmet.  I've had several clients who have had every bone in their face broken because they weren't wearing a helmet.

You would never see a football player get on the field without a helmet.  Why would you ever consider riding without the proper protection?
