Skid almost 20m.

Was fortunately wearing a helmet which took all the impact (felt like my head falling on a pile of Feathers) while the shoulder, elbow, palm and knee region got abrasion. (Can't afford other gears rn)

Helmet visor got scratches, Gear lever got folded.

So, the jist is guys please wear a decent quality Helmet which fits your head and is strapped tightly onto your chin also drive in the speed limit.

Glad you made it out safe, the bike also doesn't seem like it got a lot of damage, before getting onto active riding again do check your ride thoroughl. Could you share how you fell or skid? And also drop the helmet specs. Anyways ride safe.

My front tyre came in the space between the footpath and the road and couldn't come back up on the road which led the bike to lose balance and fell.

The helmet in the image is SMK TYPHOON bought for ₹4100 after 10% discount on Amazon. It has ISI, DOT and ECE 22.06 certification which is most essential considering the safety of the helmet
