Who is more likely to get thrown the farthest off a motorcycle, a heavier person or a lighter person?Lets say?

Question

all conditions are exactly the same for both riders,same speed same bike,same gender etc.only difference is one weighs more than the other.

Answer 1

The lighter person because he's lighter... Less force needed to be thrown off.. But why would you ask this?

lol

Answer 2

I don't see what this has to do with motorcycle racing. But I'm curious as to how the conditions are Identical. the heavier rider will load the suspension more. and technically require more power to get to the same speed. No two bikes are Identical, ask any racer with a spare bike.  and while one rider will get around a corner 99 times out of 100 the chances are he will never fall off the same way twice at the same corner. (High side - low side)(front or rear giving way)

and finally how can they both be on the same piece of track at the same time.

There is no definitive answer to your question. even Hypothetically. too may variables.

Answer 3

A friends son who is a very big boy seems to bounce heaps better when he comes of the bike due to the extra padding that he has on his body.  But there are way to  many variables as with this boy on his bike the set up for the bike has to be way different as it is like hauling around an extra kid.  My son is very light and he doesn't bounce very well and has had quite a number of injuries but his bike can sometimes be faster as he is not as heavy on it as some of the other riders.

All in all they can both get hurt if they stack bad enough
