two years ago i suffered the worst bike accident in my life. my helmet saved my life. i basicly screwed up my face pritty bad. my upper and lower lip got cut open. the two were so deep, you could see bone. yea, it was weird. i got about 85 stiches total put in my upper and lower lip. i still bike now but not a moment goes by when i think wat would have happened if i didnt have my helmet on. the doc said that i was lucky to be alive. it took about 3 weeks for me to fully recover, but when i was, i went right back out on my bike. my friends think im nuts that i still ride but i cant let one accident hold me back.
