Me and a motorcycle got in an argument with a guardrail - slid a good 50 feet (15m) with my thigh in that groove where the bolts are. Broke left thighbone in 2 places (steel bar to fix), compound fracture of ulna (screw in back of elbow), cracked ankle, assorted surface damage. Would have been worse if I didn't have a fairing & saddlebags. 5 weeks in hospital, 4 months in full-leg cast, couple of years before I was even _close_ to not limping when I walked.
