    A fact I know well. I had the experience more than once in my youth. I can tell you that skidding along the roadway at 60 kph will shred the contact points of a rain suit, jumper, shirt, jeans and several layers of skin before one comes to rest. The only comfort that day was it was cold enough to dampen some of the pain.
