i was going down a dirtroad about 20-25mph on my Rancher and went around a turn and hit a pothole, my hand slipped off the bars and i went towards a stump. i hit the stump and i flew over the bars and landed head first into the ground. when i got up, i noticed that my helmet had came off. i drove home (on a bent rim, almost broke in half bottom A-arm, bent frame and tie rod) and i had to go to the emergency room and get 2 staples in the back of my head. i had my Hemet on but i hit something when i first hit the stump and it broke my mouth guard (big ole crack) and broke visor and lots of big chips of of it. if i wont wearing that helmet then i wouldn't be here right now. i also dont know what i hit to tear it up cause i dont even remember flying through the air it happened so fast. but that helmet saved my life even though i hit the ground w/o it...my head hit something else when it was on. now the only thing i have to do is replace the broken parts and bent the bottom front of my frame back so the A-arm will fit and bend the front fender back cause my knee put about a 8 inch dent in it. oh...im 15 in case yall are wondering.

so ALWAYS WEAR YOU HELMETS!!! IT COULD BE YOUR LAST CHANCE.
