Description: In this photo, the subject is performing an example of a motorcyclist colliding with the floor at an angle which may damage the brachial plexus nerves. One can see from the photo, the head and the shoulder are extremely separated which may cause the nerves in the between area to become stretched and maybe even torn. Wearing protective gear can help prevent nerve damage by providing extra support on the opposite side of the head which prevents over stretching of the neck.
