I get that. And I had a similar VERY low speed highside once. But that is NOT what is being talked about.
Let me approach this a different way. If you have the presence of mind to know there is NO way you can stop and have the time to comtemplate throwing your bike to the pavement and taking your chances with sliding, and still not knowing how much impact is coming, why not just take the impact and jump off the bike forward just as it impacts thereby throwing you over the object. Just like on tv. Makes about as much sense huh?
And Rider this response was not directed at you. "You" being the guys who talk about intentionally putting the bike down.
