On Friday January 3rd a $22.00 Schwinn Helmet saved me from a cracked skull and a scalping. It seems that I hit a dog at about 20mph and flipped both the bike and I. I still had a mild concussion but the helmet took the brunt of the damage. Although my shoulder is separated, my ribs severely bruised, and I have some decent road rash; I am still able to walk and talk thanks to wearing a helmet. I think I'll mount the helmet like a trophy!
