WEAR YOUR HELMET!!
I'm wondering where you get the magical helmet that will keep moms and dads from getting in any accident that would knock them unconscious or keep them from being taken away in an ambulance. I'd really like one of those. Though my helmet may have saved me from a lot of things, it did not keep me alert enough to tell the paramedics where I lived. That's why you ride with id. I keep an old drivers license in my jersey pocket.
Nor did the helmet keep me out of the ambulance and ER. And the biggest point to take away from the Natasha Richardson story is if you sustain a head injury DO NOT turn down the ride to the ER. Go get checked out immediately. Even if you are wearing a helmet.
