Day 3 Post Collision

[Cuchilo]

Pretty much what happened to the poor Lady I helped out the other week . I have to say she was a lot better looking than you but I would have stopped for you aswell

 

[Chris-H]

That looks painfully sore mate, on the bright side your still with us

 

[Cuchilo]

Mind if I ask if you where wearing a helmet ?
Looking at the damage to your face I guess you where . What I saw made me go out and buy one that day .

Yes. Not that it stopped my brain injury though!

[Cuchilo]

Do you think the helmet saved more injury ? Im 50/50 on ditching mine as I hate it but seeing things like this makes me grow up a bit . I hate doing that aswell .

Do you think the helmet saved more injury ? ...

Don't know. I can't remember anything. I wear one primarily because it makes my wife feel better. I'm not a big fan and am well aware of the arguments for and against helmets. Sorry I can't help.

 

[Easytigers]

Wow...looks bad. Hope the recovery is quick

 

[GetAGrip]

Oh nasty! Hope you fix up fine and fast

 

[Saluki]

Get Well Soon.
Did the pedestrian apologise for causing the accident by any chance? Can you have the silly person pay to have your bike sorted out as it sounds like they should do.

Can't remember anything at the scene. He certainly hasn't attempted to be in touch via the police.

It hasn't robbed you of the boyish good looks!

Hope you mend quickly.

Why would you even think about ditching your helmet, I would always wear one even if I'm on a route that had very little traffic, you ca do damage just by falling off your bike .

ALWAYS wear a helmet

A helmet is designed just for that purpose, in case you just fall off your bike. They are not designed to protect you if you are in a collision. In Denmark I would say about 70% of riders wear a helmet but in Holland it appears to be much lower.

It is a topic that goes round and round. In the end you have to decide what you feel safe with in the circumstances that you ride.
