A bike helmet saved my life.
After the car hit me, I flew 20 feet through the air and landed on the top of my head. Cracked helmet, road rash, and a slight concussion, but I walked away.
Wow
Local bike shop has a collection of cracked helmets, no serious injuries from any. If that doesn’t make a believer out of someone, they deserve what they may get.
“Cracked helmet, road rash, and a slight concussion, but I walked away.”
Though probably not in a very straight line.
Good Gawd, on a bike all you need is one of those styrofoam ones. Not a kevlar thing for motobikes and the highway. Just something that will keep your skull from cracking. As to internal hemorrhage, ain’t nothin’ that will stop that.
A buddy of mine took a bad jump and crashed head first into a rock outcropping head first. He had lots of bad injuries including a broken neck. He shattered his helmet. We’ve both used it to show the necessity of helmets.
He recovered 100%
