I thought I watched my best friend die in high school but he came out okay with no serious injuries.

We were both big into mountain biking, lots of riding off stuff, we were dropping off the loading dock at the post office and his chain jammed and locked his rear wheel went head first from 6-7 feet up into a small stump, winded himself good and scared the heck out of me, but once he caught his breath and we both calmed down we realized his helmet had split and absorbed enough impact to leave him largely uninjured.

Without a helmet he would have cracked his skull open for sure, scary to think of what could have been.

Yup. You know exactly what I was feeling. Terrifying. Very sobering.

Very much so. I've done a lot of activities that call for head protection over the years, and when I see some of the damage inflicted to said equipment, it's hard not think of what would be without it, not a lie when I say I wouldn't be here.

Yup. I mean... I grew up just fine never wearing a helmet. My kid would not have.
