ugh. i got hit by a goddamn car. i was riding along a friend's street, and saw a car pull into it from where i was heading to. Suddenly, without really slowing much or indicating, he swerves as if to enter a driveway (i.e. where i'm about to pass) pretty fast. i had reflexes enough to slam on my brakes - and went sailing head first into his bonnet, and then into the street on the other side. If I hadn't grabbed my breaks, I've gone straight under him.

I got a pretty nasty concussion, and amnesia! I woke up in a pool of blood to the ambulance crew, and didn't know who or where I was... freaky. I actually remember waking up and feeling that - not know what was going, and knowing I was in pain but being strangely disconnected from it. Shock I guess.

Thanks to my bike helmet, I was saved from a fractured skull. I mashed up my right hand and the right side of my face pretty good - hand is really swollen and they thought I'd fractured it for awhile, and I busted my lip and needed lots of stiches to stop being able to see my face meat.

I got kept in hospital overnight because of recurring amnesia, but I've been released with a 'bruised, battered and cut but ok' diagnosis.

Now I have to put up with a splitting headache for at least a few days, and my mashed hand is my mouse hand! d'oh!

moral of the story; Bike Helmets WORK. Seriously! I'd be much more fucked up if I hadn't been wearing it.

No,i was at the traffic lights and pressed the button but it took too long so i looked and didn't see any cars.So i started to ride across and a car turns and hits my front wheel and my bike go's into the car.The shock took the pain away.

It was a busy day and 50 people must of been looking,i felt like a right dick.

My bike broke as well.That was the worst part.

To answer the question,no,i didn't even fall off the bike,the car crushed my finger against my metal handlebar and i wen't to the front of the bike but no over,so my balls hit the front.

Sorry to hear about this. Make sure you have every single medical condition recorded, and go for a civil suit if you find yourself deteriorating in health. I don't normally encourage ambulance chasing lawyers but certainly if the other party was negligent, then you have to seek redress and compensation.

Get well soon!

Damn straight they work. I don't mind wearing mine because I grew out of the Barbie stage and got me a $10 helmet at Odd Lots that actually looks good. Sorry that idiot can't drive. Get well soon , but most importantly take care of that mouse hand!
