I've broken both my collarbones on "easy" stuff. Embarrassingly easy stuff. Concussions are no joke. They take a long time for your brain to fully recover, so don't get discouraged. Glad your helmet did its job!
I saw a worker from Phat Tire Bike Shop being airlifted out of Bentonville, AR, after attempting a drop transition on the Ozone Trail. He wasn’t wearing a full-face helmet, and neither was I. That same day, I tried to gap some rollers and ended up hitting my face on the ground, leaving me with bleeding and bruising. I immediately went to the bike shop and bought a full-face helmet. I’ll never ride without one again. Edit: Guess I should add that, if that man from Phat Tire Bike Shop had been wearing a full face, he wouldn't have needed to be airlifted out of the area. Food for thought.
It’s interesting that wearing a full face is not normalized for cross country racing, it would have saved me too. I’m happy you recovered from your crash though
What you think about the helmet, why was it up? Was it FullFace? Probably not if its XC. Glad you came out of it all fairly OK. Maybe you could also say what exactly happened on that berm? How did you hit it so hard? All the best!
I have no recollection of the accident so these are all questions I have as well. The helmet was a half shell and I was wearing glasses. People did search the area afterwards and no one found the glasses, perhaps I tried to put them back on and that’s how it happened. The main possibility tho is that it could have been a deer or a squirrel I hit but I really don’t know.
Glad to see you are back at it and feeling better!
