James06CBR said:Highside- Occurring in a curve which may be caused by a locked wheel due to excessive braking or more commonly by applying too much throttle when exiting a corner causing the rear tire to lose traction.
lowside- Once a tire slips in a curve, it will move outwards under the motorcycle and cause the bike to lay down in the direction the driver is already leaning to counteract the centrifugal force, this can lead to a lowside accident.
damn moe well said sounds like you might have experienced one or the outher lol j/k.......... very well writtenmoeman said:High-side crash
This is the name for the type of crash where the motorcycle over-balances, flinging the rider off by pivoting around the tires. It usually happens in turns, or as the final phase of a tank-slapper. Crashes of this type commonly leave the rider injured or dead, due to the impact of hitting the ground after being flung off.
Low-side crash
This relatively benign crash occurs when the tires lose traction in a turn, and the motorcycle slides away from the rider. Assuming the rider is wearing protective gear and doesn't hit anything solid, there's an excellent chance of getting up completely unharmed from a low-side. The motorcycle will usually suffer abrasion damage, such as scratches on the fairing, or a broken turn signal or hand lever. This damage is commonly minor enough that the bike can be ridden safely afterward.
