I had a similar experience. Slipped off my bike and broke an arm, leg, and various facial bones. My helmet was split in two and the ER doctor was quite blunt about the state I would have been in without a helmet. Wear a helmet.
- krschultz 12y agoI unfortunately had the counter experience. I was not wearing a helmet on my "short commute" and got hurt pretty bad. A good number of stitches, a permanent scar, but worse than that - concussions are not fun. I blacked out and woke up an hour or two after the accident inside a CAT scan machine at the hospital. My wife found out about the accident when I called her and left an identical voicemail 3 times in a row not realizing I had just done it. Wear a helmet. I used to sell them at a ski shop and wear them religiously on the ski slope, but didn't bother to put one on for the 2 minute bike ride from my dorm to class. Huge mistake.
