Cracks me up

A week short of 1 yr later, I found myself upside down again This time only a block from home cutting in a driveway to get back on the horse trail, clipped a mailbox with my !!@#$^#$% wide bar end and tumbled down onto my back. Fortunately ended up on the sandy trail and not in the street under someone's tires.

Main damage was to shatter my helmet on impact. Rung my bell pretty good but no LOC. A little pedal barracuda bite on lower leg and sore here and there, hips, elbow, neck from a light whiplash. Nothing broken, cleaned the grit out of all of the orifices and scrapes, bike is fine.

 

That helmet saved your life.

 

Ouchhhh !

 

I'm sure this goes without saying, but throw that helmet away. It did it's one-time job.

 

Fox flux they can take a beating! Glad to hear your doing ok!

 

Flux is awesome! Glad you are good!
Awesome! now you get a pretty new helmet...

 

2 day shipping and I'll have on Monday, which is 4 days away!?

 

Frame that boy as a reminder!!

Glad you're ok.....

 

Better the helmet take the beating than your head. The difference between being able to walk out or ride out on your own or getting a ride in one of these:


Saw someone getting tended to in Sullivan canyon yesterday after he took a header. Looks like he suffered a concussion.

 

Dang, that's the worst damage I've ever seen to a helmet. Great advertising that you didn't get concussed. Glad you're relatively ok, heal up quick!

 

Good work, helmet! You deserve a nice retirement.

You, blixet? Get back on the damn bike : )

PS: Glad you're okay!

 

Probably concussed a bit. Hit it hard, real hard. A little headache early, has gone away, and a little dizziness now. Irritability is another symptom but it is hard to judge given my baseline.

20 years of Aikido training, I can take a fall, but bicycle ukemi is a different beast.

 

May want to get checked out . Even "minor hits" can progress and get worse.

 

No way that's NOT a concussion. Healing vibes to you my friend. And a speedy recovery.
