I know its refering to a type of crash, but I am not sure what it means?

Whats a lowside & whats a highside? How do they happen?

lowside the bike slides out from under you and high side is when you go over the bike bc it gets traction and sends you flying

Low side/High side linkomatic

Also with a Lowside, you are behind the bike, and you probably will not get crushed by it......
BUT..........during a highside, you get thrown off the bike, and you land in front of the bike. You will probably get run over by the bike, but if you hit a barrier of some sort before sliding to a stop, the you will get crushed between the barrier and the bike........not fun at alll

low side = bad
high side = much worse

Luckily I've only done #1...

now see I was really lucky when I highsided a busa cause I flew off a 30' bank so the bike was really far away from me.

A low side is when the front tire washes out in the turn. The bike usually falls over and you slide, not THAT bad of a thing. Now a highside, that's when the back tire starts to slide out, then catches, and throws you over the side of the bike. It hurts a lot worse. Luckily I wouldn't know though.
