Helmet laws suck?
 
3 Attachment(s)
One of my riding buds was riding down the street minding his own business tonight when a women tried to turn left in front of him with no signal or warning. When I got to him at the ER, he might have a fracture just below his right knee. They shooed me out of the room when they were taking him for a scan. I got a couple of pics of his lid...Without it, he would not be alive. he hit so hard, the shell split.

Wow, his head took a hard hit. I hope his leg is not broken and I too am sure that helmet saved his life. I lost a riding buddy in the 70's from a left turn woman. I hope he is OK.

if a fractured knee is the worst of it then hes lucky
positive thoughts for your buddy and good thing he was wearing the helmet

prolly seeing some stars. glad he's okay, that bitch better buy him a new bike.

no doubt that helmet saved him. well, his skull at least. I hope your buddy heals up real quick and the driver at fault is charged with attempted murder(only appropriate charge for such stupidity)

every time I see pics like that, it sure does make me think, I sure as hell aint gonna take any trips without my gear.

Hope he heals up quick! And I hope the bitch that caused it gets the book thrown at her!

Hope your buddy heals quickly and is in the wind soon.
But' I do believe helmet laws suck! I do not ride without a bonnet, but I don't want the state telling me what I have to wear.
Let those who don't wear helmets cull the heard!

On another note,make sure your friend takes that helmet back to where he bought it with a copy of the police report because Sparx will replace it. I believe the dealer should do the work,otherwise if he gets a hold of Sparx they'll take care of it.
