I died in a 19 MPH or 31 KMH crash on a dirtbike in sand.. because I had gently scrapped a rock.
I would’ve landed on soft shallow sand, and in real life I have been in wrecks 30 mph and faster on dirt bikes.. and received no injuries at all.

It seems low speed crashing kills characters instantly meanwhile wrecking at 75 kmh+ the player seems to be fine.
Realistically carrying more gear would weigh the back tire down more and cause a bit better stability…
