Not me. Not since July 26 last year. Went down hard. 9 stitches next to left eye (just below where helmet ends). The helmet was crushed in just above where I needed stitches. I shudder to think what my head would have been like. My personal physician said, "I used to think bike helmets were just window dressing. Not any more." -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
