Taking the slide for life is accepted doctrine when there is no barrier. The HPV slides on its side and no road rash occurs. It is when one collides with a vehicle or a guard rail that serious injuries occur such a broken back or a crushed leg. I have recorded changes in speed from different aero configurations as low as 13 mph. Just like any other vehicle reducing drag coefficients by half can greatly improve fuel economy and top speed.
