Helmet, post crash
October 28th, 2008 |
Someone asked me to post a photo of my helmet after last Sunday’s crash. Here it is, you morbid freak… Disregard that mallet in the background, my wife left that out.

no repressed anger issues for you then eh?
@pcomeau: none at all
Those little gray chunks are what is left of your brains?
ouch, man
you should do a bike helmet PSA
That’s pretty nasty.
A couple of years back I rode to work past a construction site in the morning. During the day they dug a trench across the road to make a utility connection, filled it in, but didn’t light it. They would repave it the next day. This was just after daylight savings ended, so I came home in the dark expecting the road to still be there.
No, wait. Let me restate that. I came home in the dark expecting the road the STILL F***ING BE THERE!! There were no nearby street lights.
I hit the pavement lip on the far side of the trench and had a brief moment to think “WTF” while upside down before hitting the ground.
I had a headache for two days. But my helmet came out of it much better than yours, still in one piece but with a big dent. So you must have eaten it in pretty spectacular fashion. Shame no one got pictures.
OK, I have to be honest here. I took the mallet to that helmet. The helmet that I crashed on Sunday showed no sign of damage at all so it would not have made a very interesting photo.
@Bob Schwartz: BTW, that’s an amazing story.
@Smithers: Well some of us got the sarcasm.
And as one of the morbid people asking to see it a simple, no it didn’t implode like masiguy’s helmet, would have sufficed.
At least your anger issues are no longer repressed.
I still think it’s a shame no one got pictures.
