Wow. Good stuff.
My buddy just called me today to talk about a hi-side he witnessed on his way home from work. The rider didn't seem "seriously" injured, but his helmet was in a whole lot of pieces. Rider went to the hospital anyway to check for internal injuries- he was lucky to tumble into a gently up-sloping field after bouncing off the road.

I'm really glad to have this forum for information just like this. When I first started riding, everyone told me to stop with the rear brake, and use the front very sparingly. I shudder to think of the times I could've been killed in a hi-side. I feel pretty fortunate to have an opportunity to do it the right way now.

Thanks for posting this article.
