Coming home from work a woman pulled out in front of me. Over the bonnet I went and landed on my head. Blacked out, briefly, and a trip to hospital in the ambulance. Nothing worse than a very stiff neck and a few scrapes (no idea what state the bike is in, will find out tomorrow) HOWEVER my helmet is split all the way through on the left hand side where I landed. Not that I needed convincing, but every medic I saw tonight (quite a few!) assured me I'd likely be dead if I hadn't worn my helmet.

That is all, pics to follow...
