Maybe even knocked some sense into me...
Hope this reinforces good safety for you.
Glad you are OK!
A helmet saved my life a long time ago, some one strung a cable across an off road trail, on public land, I hit it on my daily ride to work in the morning, never saw it. My helmet was cracked in two covered with blood but I was fine. I ALWAYS wear one since then.
If you broke your collar bone, you won't be on the bike till it is healed, that has to be one of the most painful bones to break, hurts to bloody breath, and they can't really cast it, all they can do is strap you into this harness thing, or at least that is all they could do when I broke mine 30 years ago on a dirtbike.
Heal fast!
