That was disappointing. You should've made something up.

Blood was all down his neck and all over his pants and he was trying to apply pressure to a pretty deep cut.

Sounds like the old motocross days before full face helmets. My buddy got tagged behind my old cr480 and busted his lip bigtime and that was with the goggle clip-on mouth guard. The worst bug wise is getting nailed by a wasp, had one thud under my collar and kept getting stung until I could pull over and scrape what was left of it off my neck. Nastiest was having a large flying bug of some kind hit the mouth screen on my off road helmet on a DS ride out on the slab. Mouth full of yellow guts at 80mph. Gagging and riding = not safe.
