No Hare Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Bit of diesel surprised me on a corner this morning. 20 kph, man down. Sunglasses did this to me, helmet badly cracked. Without it think I'd have more than a headache now.is that a bit of fatty tissue in between the stitches?
HeadDown Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 is that a bit of fatty tissue in between the stitches?Don't know....
EmptyB Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 No helmet no ride....get back in the saddle quick quick!
Pikey Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 ouch,heal up . At least you get to buy a new helmet.:-))
Slowbee Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 what glasses do you have? Ask because of hearing stories about the "open" framed ones cutting into the cheeks during a bad fall, vs the "closed" rim ones. Some first hand experience would be good.
TALUS Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Some of the better brand helmets have a crash replacement warranty. Keep the helmet and take it to your LBS. What brand is it?

(I think, can't quiet quite work it out) Edit: spelling. Maybe there is some concussion...

Paul Ruinaard Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Einah, Be careful of after effects - like concussion etc. That is the real killer. BTW - I would change my hub user name if I was you. Seems like the great cycling gods saw it is a a challenge and made sure you put you head right down, all the way to the ground.
TALUS Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Bell. It really did it's job, there is a lot of compression on the side that hit the road.I think they have a replacement policy.
V12man Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I think they have a replacement policy.They do - via their dealers But next time he needs a plastics guy not a vet to close it up..... at least it will remind him to wear a helmet every time he looks in the mirror... and that is a good thing.
