[quote=Anonymous]Was biking around the neighborhood with my little sister - almost didn't put my helmet on (1996...helmet law was still new and required for kids 15 and under, which I was). I have a very vague memory of coming down the street right in front of our house and the next thing I heard was my sister scream for my dad as I was laying face-up in the street. I have no idea what happened, it was a route we biked all the time - maybe I hit a bump? I do know I hit the ground hard enough to split the back of the helmet (not like a little crack, but the left and right halves were slightly offset from each other) and had a concussion. Also lost the majority of my memory from that day. I couldn't tell my parents what we had done that morning and had some trouble remembering things later that day after the concussion. I can't even imagine what kind of injury I would have had without a helmet on. So yes, a helmet is required every time DC is on a bike or scooter. [/quote]
