Has anyone out there ever crash on a mountain bike and spit the helmet in half and lived? |
I was mountain biking and thought I could go over a 3 feet log. I've done it before but this one had thin slime growing on it and I crashed full speed and landed on right side of my head. I thought I had bashed my face in at first but only injuries I had was a cracked right sinus,2 broken ribs, and multitude of scrapes and lacerations. But when I took my helmet off it was cracked right down the middle! Has this happened to anyone else? It was a blast!! I was so proud I showed my helmet to everyone I know. I want to do it again but don't want to get killed or paralyzed. Am I crazy that it made me feel great and more alive? Done it a few times. Im 12 years old and on my 2 mile paper route with 35 pounds of papers on one side, i creash riding down my hill in the snow! It is so fun! Have u ever tried to ride through thick ice? It is a blast... you pedal as fast as u can, and you SLOWLY tip over! ( Cant say ive cracked my helmet YET..... I wonder what my customers think when they see me riding........ :-O That's actually what's supposed to happen. The helmet absorbs and dissipates the energy of the impact by crushing and breaking apart. Wouldn't try to do it again though - helmets don't protect your neck; and can't protect you in every crash. It's normal to feel alive after escaping something like that relatively unscathed, but there are probably better ways to get that feeling. |
