[QUOTE="Happy Rider, post: 1093640, member: 18937"] I'm not sure of the exact speed that my suit hit the pavement. I figure it was 50-55 mph after I bled off a bit of speed. I think I slid around 75 feet or so judging by the debris field and where I came to rest. Either way I'm impressed with the way the suit protected me and I didn't lose any skin. I can't help but wonder if my FJR's superior brakes would have slowed me faster and allowed me to escape the whole mess. The little GS has ABS and fairly good brakes. Can't say what caused the blowout. One second I was bored out of my mind slabbing through Wyoming then I heard a loud explosion and all hell broke loose. No warning at all. The big rig driver had no warning either. [/QUOTE]
