actually *out* for 15 mins, or just lost 15 mins of memory?
The former would be rather worrying, the latter is probably ok. after this flight of fancy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzOAWHsS6xs I was only out cold for 2 mins, but lost about half an hour of memory (no way I was getting back on a bike, for starters)

SFB's post up there says I don't think I was out for more than a minute, but it took me a while to become lucid...
Shame no-one else thought to take pics of this...Posted 1 year ago # -
Always seek medical attention, knocked out will be pretty hard blow and make you feel dizzy for days.

Someone did take a few pics with my camera, but I look more or less normal, apart from one very blurred one where I look confused. I'll post them when I get home later.

I cleared a rocky section today and whilst I relaxed and thought 'phew' I suddenly flipped over the bars on a ONE INCH wedge of stone FFS. Anyway I lay there on my back for over 5mins looking up at the blue sky, not hurt just relaxing. Bloke comes across me and says 'you ok'? 'yes, just abit of daydreaming'.....I think he thought I'd landed on my head when I said that!

I've just spoken to someone who was watching, though he didn't catch the start of the fall, but he said it was where there was a tricky rut. Apparently I went head over heels twice and then landed, kicked one leg and went still, but by the time he got to me, I'd climbed back on the bike and carried on riding, and it was only when we reached the gate below they were able to stop me, at which point I started asking where I was

Just seen a registrar about my possible TIAs, and they can't find anything wrong with me, other than slightly low blood sugar. She said she would have recommended I go to A&E after knocking myself out, but would only have wanted me to have a scan if I had been taking aspirin, which the notes said I was but had not in fact been prescribed. She agreed that the radiation dose of another CT scan wasn't justified.

Glad you are well. Always make sure you observed for 48 hours after a blow to the head. Always seek medical attention after any period of unconsciousness (apart from natural sleep of course).
"You were unconscious before you fell off the bike."
This happened to a work college recently: was walking home and suddenly woke up on the ground in the park - no injury or mugging. He puts it down to the migraine tablets he was prescribed.

I think this is unlikely, as I was seen to roll into a ball as I landed. Had I already been unconscious I would have landed like a rag doll, limbs flying. Also my riding ability, particularly at any speed, makes incompetance the most likely reason for falling off

I Knocked myself out a few weeks ago falling off, lost an hour of my life through amnesia.
It's very weird.
When I came round I asked the same question a dozen times

This video has put me off jumping a bit especially as I've recently been falling off more than usual! Those noises you were making sound horrible.

you've drawn the eye in on the bottom right haven't you. That's Homer-esque.

no, I just cropped the edges and blanked out my MRN

Did a nurse with a nice backside happen to walk past when that shot was being taken? Even in a potentially life or death situation, nice buttocks = eyes out on stalks.
