Exclamation Mark This guy proved helmets can save lives

This is from China with a video of a car running over a man's head and 5 minutes later he gets up and walks away. Without the helmet it would have been a bad outcome.

That was a "Chinese Made" Helmet Too. I guess we can all rest a bit easier now.

I can attest that helmets work as well, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't wearing my Simpson full face six years ago. It literally saved my life that day.

I took a real good look at that video and I do believe that video has been photo shopped. I do think it may be fake. First off the car that hits him never bounces up one little bit from running over him. Take a look that car is smooth as glass running over him. Second his head completely disappears after the car runs over it. I think it was a real bike accident, but I think someone photo shopped the car into it. Just a hunch.

Wow, 6 years already! I remember that accident you were involved in. :(

Glad that you were able to recover from it.
Cheers!
