I don't know what crashing on salt is like, but the main danger is from digging into the ground and causing the body to tumble. On asphalt it might not be as dangerous. Assuming the suit does not tear, the other factor is heat generation. You can get burns even if skin never comes in contact with the ground. I've maybe only crashed at 70 miles per hour before, and sustained no injury.
My avatar photo was taken on the day I had my 70 MPH crash. It was the right-hand turn just before where this photo was taken. Cameraman said my exhaust struck the inside curbing and put me into a lowside. Should have hung my butt off the seat more, but it was only my 2nd time.
