Concussion

[clid61]

On the 20th march I was knocked off my bike , suffered cracked ribs , broken collarbone which required titanium plate and 10 pins .
I also suffered concussion, from smacking my head on the tarmac, after my shoulder took initial impact.

My head was the first to recover sooooo

The most frightening thing was how resilient my bonce was ! I hit the deck felt woozy knew exactly what my injuries were and managed to leg it to the side of the road !

I reckon theyre worth wearing but have learnt after the event and still only when im caning it on the road !

Get well soon
I was temped to take mine helmet off this afternoon as it was so hot, but I didn't well you never know

When I got knocked off by a copper last year and banged my head. It hurt. I was wearing a cycling cap.
But apparently if I was wearing a helmet it probably have saved my life and I would still be alive to type about it now.

What colour was the wooly hat ?

Today I'm sporting a thermal hat as I type. Without this protection my brains might fry in this heat.

Does it also reflect those electomagentic waves that may damage your noggin?

When I got hit by a van pulling out of a junction without stopping on Saturday afternoon my life was not saved by my helmet but it did hold the camera which filmed it and also the driver taking the blame and admitting they never saw me but as luck had it I only got a few bumps and the bike is OK so I wont take it any further.

I'm still looking for a woolly hat that passes the snell test - I'm sure if I get a thick enough one it will , bit like those rasterfarian ones but filled with polstyrene beads.

my last off't, my helmet survived wonderfully , me not so good, cracked a few bones, lot of gravel rash. - but at £50 a throw I'm inclined not to let it hit the ground.

When I cycled head first into the back of a dumper truck umpteen odd years ago I didn't have anything on my head. I died. I'm now just here to haunt you all.

I do feel a snazzy woollen hat may have soaked some of the blood up though.

You need one with a pompom on top to provide extra cushioning.
