Busted stuff

Last week I noticed some photos here that showed a rider with no helmet and I commented about it. I also notice as I ride trails, roads, and paths that there are a lot of riders without helmets. It’s just plain stupid. Put the damn thing on your head. A helmet has saved my life on more than one occasion. On a ride this weekend, my wife was riding a portion of trail that she has rode a hundred times or more and never thought twice about doing, and had a horrible crash. She just lost control and went over the bars. Her head slammed into a rock and destroyed her helmet. The helmet saved her life. Had she not been wearing it she would be dead. She did end up with a concussion, and many stitches inside and outside her upper lip. She will be ok, but the helmet is toast as the above picture illustrates. It took less then a second for her to be in another world and change the ride we all thought was going to quick and uneventful. Please, wear your helmet, or die…………………….
