I had a pair of motorcycle leathers that looked a bit like that, with key-shaped and coin-shaped holes worn through the rear pockets thanks to an unscheduled flying lesson along the A40 outside the Guinness brewery.
I think it was the metalwork in my pockets which mitigated what could've been much more serious damage to my arse.
As it happens, I fractured an elbow.
Bike looked good as it overtook me on its side, throwing a plume of orange sparks in an arc across the night sky.
ETA:
Armco barrier looks quite unusual when you are looking up at it.
