This guy is just not a competent rider, he's outriding his meager abilities. It has nothing to do with his gear. Riding boots and leather pants won't keep you in your own lane.

Gear is good, but it only makes you a safer crasher. It's a small but important (to me) part of the big picture. This guy shows us that a flashy full faced helmet does nothing for your riding skills - and he is alive because the SUV driver was paying attention to his dumb *** and stopped before squishing him.
