Two weeks ago I had a bad biking accident. I was thrown from my bike and fell on my head. I blacked out and came to in an ambulance en route to the hospital. I sustained a concussion and 10 stitches above my right eye. I am lucky that an EMT was on the scene, saw what happened and rushed me to the Brigham. I am still processing this accident. The outcome could have been much worse, death, brain injury, paralysis, broken bones and a severed body part to name a few.
I am a very lucky woman. I was wearing a helmet. The helmet most likely prevented further damage to my head. I do not understand how anyone can ride a bike without a helmet. It does not matter if they are traveling a short distance. My greatest pet peeve is cyclists without helmets, who ride with headphones oblivious to everyone and everything around them. As I have experienced an accident can occur at any moment. We are all vulnerable. I hope to be back on my bike in a few weeks. Safe riding and a Happy 4th!
