Looks like the helmet did it's job in spite of incorrect placement/fit. Scalp can be stitched back, will heal a lot more easily than cracked head! Supports the pro-helmet argument, cyclintom you're definitely coming around. Couple more posts and you'll crack(argument that is).
Now was this really a friend or did you do this to yourself - riding without properly fastened helmet and coming to the conclusion that helmets are useless
