I didn't study the accident, I just looked up something better than the original vid which was of rather ****ty quality so I could see more than a blur. I must also mention that the video on it's own was claimed to be evidence for the head-saving qualities of helmets, which it really wasn't, so it's not that strange I solely based myself on that video.

But anyway, so we now know his head indeedc onnected with the pole, but still most of my statement still stands.

Also note the conspicuous absence of reference to the life-saving qualities of helmets.
