Oof, hopefully no major damage. But how tf did you get to 55km/h? I think I top out at 45, and that’s on a MTB, x is even slower.

Went for a high speed joyride in the Benotto BMX in the road, and although I know this road very well, I didn’t account for that pothole hiding in the dark.
As soon as I felt the front tire sink into the hole, I tried to correct it but I was already over the bars, I slid with my back a couple of meters across the asphalt, and grinded to a halt in unimaginable pain.
A few bystanders came by to assist and I was riding back home thirty minutes later with no more than a badly scraped knee, a burnt back, and several cuts and bruises all over my body, a very creepy accident nonetheless.
I have no idea how I got out of this one (almost) unscathed, no broken bones, no concussion, this was one of the very few times I’ve ever wore a helmet, if I hadn’t, I would’ve been dead or left in vegetative state.

Wear your helmets, and ride safe.
