Racing in Bintan, SE Asia when yesterday someone walked out in front of me at the end of the bike. I couldn't go anywhere but into them and at 45kph I learnt how to fly but hadn't checked the hand book on landings and instead of opting for my feet I used my head and then my back via scorpion move. To cut a long story short after a number of hours on a spine board and not knowing if I'd fractured my back I was released but this morning I'm very sore and obviously still suffer spasms and pain.
I just wanted to remind people that helmets are really useful, if it wasn't for my Giro Selector (not sponsored but bloody thankful!) right now I would either have fractured skull, a broken neck or a broken back. Lucky I appear to only be suffering from muscle damage.
Be safe.
