Just watched an hour long video of a speech by a dude(remarkable guy, he recently died in a motorcycle race accident) who is a doctor/first responder to these crashes. From what I could tell, he was THE guy out there and was a very accomplished doctor.
Anyways, he was going over what they look for and just how insane his job was. Most interesting video I've watched in a long time. One of the things they look for is boots in the road when they pull up. Btw, they ride these bikes just like the racers. It's the fastest way to get to the crashes. But he said people instinctively put their foot down when they start to crash or get scared. The ONLY way for their boots to come off is if there leg is facing backwards. If they come up on a boot, they know the rider has had his leg completely twisted around and destroyed. Lots of their feet have been "degloved" as well
I'll go look for his name so y'all can watch the video. It's amazing, and the guy is absolutely hilarious.
ETA: Guy's name was John Hinds. YouTube RIP Doctor John Hinds.
