When I was 18 I crashed riding home from the gym at night. I was jumping off of a curb and my shitty front-wheel collapsed under the weight, bringing the bike to a sudden halt and sending me over the handlebars. Wasn't wearing a helmet. Landed face first and slid into San Pablo avenue. Concussion and Ripped most of the skin on the right side of my face off. I was pretty grotesque for awhile. Half my face was just an open wound. If I had been wearing a helmet the cushion around my head would have lifted most of my face off the ground. Probably would have ended up with nothing but a chin scrape.
