very sorry to hear about the person that got hurt thats too bad. we have all been witness to someone you know being saved by a helmet, I know i have several times.
I cannot like this thread enough times. My kids were taught the simple rule that BEFORE you even touch your bike you put on your helmet. when they were younger I would get the bike ready for them and they would put on the helmet. Now they are ages 20, 17 and 13 and they know if i see them doing anything without a helmet they are done for. I told them ones that drive cars its the same as your seatbelt so they know it.
I will always remember the first season of coaching NICA and the rule that states that any time you have the bike under you you MUST be wearing a helmet properly.
I think I posted elsewhere on this thread all the Covidiots I have seen riding around on bikes with no helmets (i.e lady with a kid in bike seat with a helmet but she wasnt wearing one. My kids also say the same thing and most of their friends dont wear helmets. I had a bunch of them here back the fall playing basketball out front and they showed up on bikes but no helmets.
It makes me mad and i try not to be a d*ck about it in the general public because ignorance is bliss but I can only control what I can control.
p.s. now I have to probably go buy a new road helmet too which is fine cause I want one that's matchy matchy anyway. Oh yea and my bday is Monday so bappy bday to me. LOL.
stay safe all!
