3.5 weeks ago I ran through the gaurd post at the Security shack at work doing 15 mph. I never saw it. Dislocated my right shoulder and got road rash from my head to my toes on my right side. My head hit the asphalt so violently they said my head bounced 12 inches off the pavement. My helmet wash broken in a half dozen places. I snapped the guard pole clean off the raising mechanism.
I'm alright today. I hope you are too.
wow...that sounds a lot more violent then mine. Head injuries are the scariest. I can deal with pain in the arm, joints, muscles...as i know they'll go away, with the head though you never know what type of permanent damage might creep up later. I will buy a new helmet although I had just purchased this one...kind of a bummer.
My biggest fear right now is getting back on the bike. Im just to afraid to hop on it so quickly. Even when I rode it home, i kept thinking the bike was going tip over. Hopefully it'll pass.
Ironically tomorrow the city starts repairs on the part of the path where i fell. I wonder if I hadn't blasted them how much longer it would have taken
