Even a dirt bike can bruise you up bad at 30mph. Aside from bruising from foot to knee, I barely had any other pain.
That was with proper enduro boots and soft knee armour. Had I worn my Acerbis hard knee guards, probably they would have broken but the bruising would have been less so.
All I know is I’m glad the boots were rock solid and brand new. Had it happened in ‘hiking boots’ like some people suggest then I’d have needed reconstructive surgery.
