She hit the pavement face first and only had minor scrapes on her forehead and chin, and a banged up knee (so knee pads are good, too). If she had not been wearing her helmet or if it had been worn improperly, it would have meant a trip to the ER and may have required plastic surgery. For even more spectacular crash damage, ask Boomer to show you the assortment of helmets that we have around the shop. Including the one with a crack completely through the foam from when he landed on his head crashing off of the Carpet Bridge. So, ALWAYS wear a helmet, and ALWAYS make sure it is worn properly with the front of the helmet low to protect your forehead. In other words, WEAR YER LID, DANG GUMMIT!! |
