It's Your Head

Hi Guys and Gals,
Just sharing - it's your head-your decision.

Yesterday here fellow who rides his Valk to work everyday on his way home after work. Truck pulled out in front of him, he swerved and just barley tipped the back of the truck but went down on the pavement. I am a nurse at the hospital and my hubbie is a fireman who worked the scene. Hit his head on the pavement, had on a novelty type beanie helmet. DOA. :'( The fire dept used a firetruck to wash the blood and brain parts off the road. Several fireman on the scene who ride all said the helmet was a piece of crap.

In the ER the waiting room was full of grieving family and friends. He was 49 years old and apparently well liked in the community. To look at him laying there on the stretcher just a few abrasions unless you look at the back of his head. :(

Just sharing - like I said it's your head.
