I've had some good crashes off-road, but nothing on-road (yet). Knock on wood.

Yup, I bought all new gear. The new modular helment with built in bluetooth and sun visor is really nice. I see they have airbag clothing now too. That looks interesting.

I don't plan to drive around vehicles much. I assume if something really bad's going to happen, that it's likely going to involve a vehicle. So yeah, well aware. I plan to take the safety courses and get licensed so I have the option of driving on streets (e.g. to get gas), but mostly I'm just puttering around residental streets.
