My highest speed down hill on a road bike was 62. Dont have a problem getting into the high 30's on short down hills, and have hit 46 this summer while drafting a truck.
One guy I used to train with lost it on a decent down a mountain and ended up tearing the lower part of his jaw off his face. Those decents can be terrible, but they are what we look forward to as we are climbing the mountain and suffering.
Glad to hear that the guy is going to be okay. The silver lining in the cloud is that he now has a freezer full of venison.
