They're not toys...well, they kinda are, but you have to respect them. I've had the front come up on the 1000RR a few times during hard acceleration, and will have to say that I don't care much for the feeling of "floating". Therefore, I know I don't like it, and don't try them on purpose. Accident waiting to happen.
Hope your friend gets all healed up soon and that he can learn from this mistake.

I'm a wimp, I keep both wheels on the ground. Sorry to hear about the accident.

I've lifted the wheel several times but it spooks me. I've slammed down onto the street once --- hope to never do that again.

So sorry TK 
! This is another first hand experience from one of our own. Please heed his advice because it is well spoken. I hope your friend will be okay, the good news is he is alive, and that is a gift to him, his family, and his friends. Prayers sent out to him, and to you. Let him know there are many fellow riders on this forum who are behind his recovery!
