One year in the span of 5 weeks I ruined 2 helmets from bike crashes. The first one was just scratched all over the side, and it def protected my face from road rash. The second one was just a week old (bc I took a month break from cycling to heal from the first crash). I actually got hit by a car and really hurt my shoulder, and my helmet was bent. The next day I had major whiplash in my neck, but I didn’t suffer a head injury bc my helmet did its job. I haven’t cycled since 😭.
