On Monday night I crashed pretty hard on my MTB while wearing a MIPs helmet. The helmet cracked, and I've got some surface bruising just below my hairline of the right side of my face. But no concussion.
The rest of my body is a different story. So far, no broken bones as far as I can tell, but the rash and bruising really, really sucks. Maybe its just that I'm old.. But dang, it was a doozy.
By the way, I had been wondering whether it sucks more to crash a motorcycle at speed on the race track, or a mountain bike going downhill on singletrack at speed. Having now done both, I can without question affirm that crashing on a mountain bike sucks more.
My new helmet will be another MIPs model, 6D brand (I bought a 6D for my son) or Leatt brand.
