This is how you lean into a turn safely.

Pictured is our very own Grant Mahler.

If he was truly doing it safely, the right leg of the racing suit would be rolled up so that it won't get caught in the sprocket.

What good is a fire suit if it has a rip in it!?!

Left leg a bit too, it can get caught in the water bottle cage.

He should be wearing arm restraints as well. Grant probobly doesnt want his arms flopping outside of the roll structure if he were to flip his bike.

Where's the impact attenuator? Is that the big white thing on his head?

I'm glad some of you have a sense of humor about this.

At least his neck isn't anywhere near contacting the major structure of the frame in a side-impact situation.

although his side impact structure is pulling double duty as his femur.

hey if it's just for fun then there are couple other things...

his body is out of side impact structure...

and he should atleast wear lapbelt, tied to his seat

Yeah, adding the necessary thickness harness bar would have doubled the height of the CG, so we just said screw it.
