these helmets probably saved my life this weekend!
crashed at glamis.
i was jumping, the jump bucked the rear end up and i nose dived into the ground, and after that i dont know what happened.
i think my right arm broke my STIFFY flag mount off, and the rear tire and swingarm skidplate smashed my helmet. the road rash on my back, im not sure what caused that, but it almost broke my ribs!
i was taken to the hospital, after 2 1/2 hour wait, they took me back and the doctor though i had a collapsed lung and/or bruised liver, and broken ribs. after another 2 hours i got a catscan and x-rays, another 1 went by and they got the results, and nothing showed up on the x-ray or catscans. as soon as they thought i had a collapsed lung they put me on an I.V. because they didnt want me drinking or eating anything.
i know its not bad compared to what some others have faced, but for me, it was pretty bad and im glad i had a good helmet to protect my head.
im lookin for a video of a atv crash on someone doin what happened to me so i can see what might have happened.
heres the helmet, and the goggles that i was wearing, they were also cracked a little.
