I'll bet he was wearing a bandana, fingerless gloves, chaps, a vest and maybe even boots. He would have been three times less minimal injuries had he crashed at 1/3 the speed.
If he was wearing any gear, or especially a helmet, I bet he looked really un-cool

On my old Katana 750 I was running about 145 MPH. Went to slow down and sat up slightly almost got blown off the bike.
