My uncle ran a pickup truck over my brother's legs and didn't break a bone. Miracles happen.

Yeah yeah, always wear a helmet, bright safety clothes, ride with traffic, signal your intentions....didn't help my cousin
But yes, helmets save lives. Funny thing seen on the commute last week, I normally would not do this but stopped a guy leaving the train then realized with his limited English had to use jesture, pantomime, turning his helmet 180 degrees, his was on backwards.
I suppose, protects your head just as well that way.

HOLY MOELY!! That's crazy, how can you not know that you ran over something, especially it's a SOMEBODY!! I'm glad he's ok. This is definately a great safety ad for helmets!! I treasure mine
