Apparently, he was wearing a helmet.  It saved his life.

Not following his bike over the cliff may also have played a part, I reckon.

I was underwhelmed by some of the injuries TBH but I am a Hardened Doc.
YMMV.

Unlike the cyclist on a recent BBC 'An hour to save your life' programme who had head butted a cattle grid. he rode a further couple of miles to a pub to seek assistance and then was air ambulanced into A&E. Severe damage to lower lip, jaw teeth etc. and fully lucid but then suffered a stroke in A&E because the head impact had resulted in a tear to his Carotid artery that then shed a clot into the brain.  :o

I suppose so.  Phantasmagoriana would be disappointed if I didn't.

Yeah.  Having tried it, I'm going to go back to not doing it from now on.

Hmm, that looks a bit too familiar. Hope it doesn't give you too much grief. Ditto a posteriori.

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.
