Someone might ask which helmet is better. I really don’t understand this. I just bought it... Sorry... Then it was said that the main reason for the crash was because it was not safe to ride. You should keep your hands at the brakes, and you should also have bicycle lights at night. . Well, in fact, when riding a bicycle, you should not leave the brakes, and you should be more responsible for yourself and others on the road. Thanks for teaching. Then I actually equipped the headlights and rear lights. Because the respondent was studying in the United States, the law requires helmets and front and rear lights, but the headlights were out of power less than a week before the crash, and there was no time to change the battery. This can be regarded as a lesson for not maintaining the bicycle in time.
Attachments is a few pictures of the place where the incident occurred
From where the slope started all the way to where the car crashed.
Looking at it this way, the slope is actually not very big, but it is a bit long, and the light is all green that day, so there is no slowdown in the middle. The place where the bicycle crashed was under the bridge, and the light of the street light was blocked. (Falling in the last two pictures, I haven't passed the position of the small sign, probably because I think you can turn by following the left turn sign on the ground. I didn't expect that there was an extra section in front of it.
When I was riding a bike before, I never thought about wearing a helmet. Few riders on the street wear helmets. They don’t ride well. Why waste this money? It’s better to spend it elsewhere.
When I went abroad, I heard that bicycles and accessories are quite expensive, so I bought some tools, spare tires, cycling clothes and gloves, etc. in China. When I left the shop, I saw the 80 RMB helmet and made a whole piece of it. I bought it all at once.
The helmet occupies a lot of space, so it was tied to the school bag when flying on the plane and was laughed at by fellow students. After I arrived at school, I felt that the road conditions were okay, so I didn't wear it every time I went out.
But one night I rode my bike to buy things and thought about putting on a helmet before going out. The school is on the mountain, there is a downhill when going out, the downhill is not too big, I feel that I am familiar with this road, so I let go of the brakes and let the car go down the slope. When I turned to the left, I turned a bit earlier than usual, but I didn't expect that there was a barrier in the middle of the road, as high as a curb, and I didn't see it at all. So the whole car crashed straight into the corner. The front wheel hit, the rear wheel flew up because of inertia, and because it was a left turn, I was thrown out, my left leg was pressed under the car, and my head hit the ground heavily, bounced, and again knocked to the ground. At that time, the whole person was frightened and stupid, thinking that he might be dying on the road. He quickly endured the pain in his leg and helped the car up. The whole person was dizzy and moved to the side of the road for inspection in a daze. The front tire of the car burst, the jeans I was wearing felt worn out, my legs were a bit painful, and the helmet seemed to feel okay...
The whole helmet was split and divided into three parts. The protruding corner at the back of the head was knocked off directly.
After falling, his head bounced and fell again, which also shows the power.
If you don’t wear a helmet, your head hit the ground...
It is estimated that the broken head is the head.
I dare not think about it.
Dazedly pushed the car back to the dormitory, just want to sleep. I slept more than nine o'clock until ten o'clock in the morning.
Later, I bought a new helmet, because the helmet is formed at one time, and if it is broken, the protective effect is basically gone. But I have kept this helmet, always reminding myself that this is my life that I bought back for 80 RMB.
Cherish life, please wear a helmet, please wear a helmet, please wear a helmet!
