I was lucky

[Gnarlyoak]

Wow lucky indeed, especially seeing the split in the internal polystyrene padding. Glad you walked away from that one. How old is the helmet?

[Ian Clarke]

Only 8 months

As already said, please be aware of the likelihood of neck injury showing itself over the next couple of days. Glad you're ok!

sobering.

Glad you're OK

I wonder how a ground helmet would have coped. I suspect without the vents it would have been better- well- not better but maybe wouldn't have cracked.

[daltontrees]

I was going to say you're lucky to be alive after that but I should say you're smart to be alive 'cos if you hadn't bothered putting the helmet on...

[Ian Clarke]

I like the fact that it cracked the shell and polystyrene as that took the impact not my head. And id prefer to see damage to a helmet rather than not see it and it be unsafe* hopefully that last bit made sense

 

No neck pain or back pain or headache or nausia or anything so far. Just a sobering reality check

 

Be safe out there guys and gals
