Motorcyclist Loses Control, Injures Self

Occurred on February 24, 2017 / Asheville, North Carolina, USA

Info from Licensor: "I was driving a 2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R with a friend on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. He had the same bike and was filming with the camera I sold him earlier that morning. I took my eyes off the road around 3:30pm and shortly after lost control in the grass. I tried to lean and didn’t have time so I applied my brakes while leaning and slid. When I hit pavement again I top-sided and broke my arm badly upon hitting the ground. I slid and broke a vertebra in my back on the curb which sent me flying over the guardrail. I landed on a small patch of grass just before the mountain dropped off. My gear saved my life."
