This is the gal in the video on the back of a bike, when her bf tries to wheelie and she flies off. They were going about 50 and she was wearing small shorts and a t-top.
The healing process must have been agony I believe she. Glad she is back riding and wearing gear.

No..it's not the same girl . I thought the same thing, but after researching, I found out that it was not her. This girl was actually wearing more clothing than just shorts..but it goes to show that capris are not a wise choice when riding.

RE: THANKS NENA, WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR YOUR GEAR
yea must be a different chick here is what I found:
The story:
"Here's the jist of it: I was a passenger on my friend Sean's GXSR 750, we were going WAY fast on highway 550 (that means about 120mph), and my helmet visor flipped open, making me instantly un-aerodynamic, and ripping me off the back of the bike. I tumbled 522 feet down the highway and slid to a stop across the yellow lines at mile marker 8. The guy riding behind us said I looked like a bag of trash rollin' down the highway, and he had to swerve to avoid hitting me. I ended up on my stomach, with my right arm pinned underneath me and my left arm extended out onto the road. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was ****ed, and my shoes were gone... they had all been claimed by the cement. My injuries included, but were not limited to, 50 percent body coverage of third degree "pavement" burns , which we lovingly call "road rash." To get an idea of what this means, some of my bones, tendons, and even internal organs were exposed in several places, and chunks of muscle and skin were completly missing. I lost half of my left breast (which I still am sad about). I also dislocated my right big toe and severed all the tendons in my left pinky finger. However, I didn't break any bones whatsoever. This is probably because I let myself go limp, as I just wanted to die while I tumbled on the cement. The ambulance arrived 45 minutes later because we were out in the middle of nowhere (Indian Reservation!). Once the Paramedics realized the extent of my injuries, they called the helicopter out and flew me to UNMH, where I stayed until just yesterday. So, after 8 surguries and 2 long months in the hospital, I am happy to report that I am home and alright. But, I did have to learn to walk again, and my scars will never go away, and many scars I do have. As of now, I look pretty gross under my clothes, but my pretty face survived.
Of course, I do not regret getting on the bike because you never know when something like that could happen. It was a Sunday drive, and I was sober when I chose to ride. Nothing could have changed what happened or even warned me about the problem with my helmet. I only hope that poor Sean has stopped blaming himself and that he comes with me to Vegas for my birthday. It's amazing what you can learn about a person if you simply fall off their motorcycle. "

it always amazes me when people dont wear a helmet, i can MAYBE understand not wearing full gear, but i always laugh when people dont wear a helmet... anyone watch mind of mencia? i like when he was talking about motorcycles and people that dont wear a helmet, he said that they havent figured out yet that the ground is harder than thier face... now thats just stupid..
