Oh, I dunno about that.  Lots of people do.  So long as you yourself
don't physically hit or get hit by anything hard, and you slide rather
than tumble, your protective gear should take care of most things.
Tumbling is bad ...  tumbling breaks limbs.

Still, at 200mph ...... wreck pretty much *anything* at 200mph and
you're likely to get pretty seriously smashed up.
