Helmet Saves a Man’s Life in Salt Lake City Bicycle Accident

A Utah bicyclist was hit by a car in Salt Lake City, Utah on Thursday September 3, 2009. According to the Salt Lake Tribune the helmet that man was wearing saved his life.

The 44-year-old Salt Lake City, Utah resident was heading west on 1100 East and Harrison Avenue when 70 year-old man turned in front of him trying to get into the parking lot. The Utah bicyclist made impact with the front bumper and was violently thrown over the hood of the car. When he came down to the ground, his head hit so hard against the pavement that his helmet split in half. He was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Fortunately, this man was able to walk away from this Utah bicycle accident. Another accident to attest to the importance of wearing a helmet.

I am shocked at the number of kids riding their bikes to school without helmets on! Because of the potentially devastating head injuries that can result from a Utah bicycle accident, parents should insist that their children always wear a helmet when they ride their bikes–especially when they will be biking around other cars.

    Along with every little thing which seems to be developing inside this particular subject matter, all your viewpoints are actually rather refreshing. Nonetheless, I beg your pardon, but I can not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it refreshing none the less. It would seem to everybody that your opinions are not totally validated and in simple fact you are yourself not even completely confident of your argument. In any case I did enjoy reading it.
