    Helmets work!

    Out on our 60mph scooters today the wife took a dump
    at 35+ mph, 3 cracked ribs and missing skin on her arms
    she's fine. I'll post some pics of her helmet if I get a chance
    but the 6hrs in the ER room was nothing next to the hit
    her helmet took.

    We all know they work, I never wear one......until following
    the ambulance today on my scooter, then riding her scraped
    up one home. Thing I'll be wearing mine all the time from now
    on!

    wow, glad to hear that shes alright for the most part. I let my buddy drive my Honda Elite a few weeks ago while wearing my full race leathers as a joke. Well needless to say this whole scenario was doomed from the beginning....

    These kind of stories push out those thoughts of just going on that short cruise without one. Glad to hear she is ok!

    .
    She read this and said "I hit the F-ing concrete!"

    Im guessing at the speed, I was decelerating for a stop sign
    and as I turned to look back her scooter was sliding sideways
    fast enough for me to swerve from it taking me out (I was
    doing 30 or so).

    To much front bias braking on her part is my conclusion, she
    may very well been doing an endo from what she remembers
    so it may have been a launching fall

    Glad to hear she's okay...I always where the helmet even though I probably rarely go over 30 mph on the bicycle, lol. Saved me a couple times on the trail's, no doubt.
