This is what happens when you arrange a date with the devil himself.
So, today I flew off the edge of a steep embankment, tumbled through the air, and rolled to a stop about 30 or so feet below the road... I landed about 2ft from sharp boulders in the ground which would have immediately snapped my spine and left me paralyzed or dead.
I came out of the wreck with a concussion, dislocated shoulder and some road rash. Nothing more... I danced with the devil today, my bike is totaled, my helmet is totaled, everything totaled... Except for me.
A lot of people, after a wreck like mine would hang up the gear and helmet and quit riding... I'm already itching to get a new bike and kick the shit out of that corner, and hopefully someday the car that almost caused me to lose my life by being over the double-yellow line.

Ouch, man. At least you're coming out of that with nothing permanent. Canyon roads are fun as hell to ride/drive through, but damn do you get some idiots that can't hold a line. Almost got punted into Turnbull myself in my old Volks. Glad to hear you're alright though. :)
Well, if you dance with the devil till the 12 o clock, you'd probably burn in hell. That's the way sinner choose
After all, who said you can't die, doing what you like best?
Btw, helmets ARE single-use. Like an airbag.
Oh, and-a... i've always knew, you're lucky bastard

At least you had the sense to wear a good helmet, unlike a lot of the malakas I pick up in my ambulance. Let's see: the last motorcycle wreck I ran the guy had:
-12 rib fractures + flail chest
-liver laceration
-concussion - GCS of 6: he got tubed
-R-sided tension pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
...basically he got really fucked up, but that's what you get for doing 100mph in a residential area around a really sharp blind turn on a 2-lane road.

You do know you're going to have to get a new helmet now right?
Even if it looks like its only got a few minor surface scratches the integrity of it is gone.
To put it bluntly, you wear that same helmet again and there is another accident, IT WILL NOT PROTECT YOU.
Either way. Glad you're okay. Very very lucky to be alive.
