CHINA Young Chinese motorcyclist failed to control the lean of the motorcycle while going through a sharp turn and crashed. The lack of a helmet caused him to seriously injure his head. Although his injuries were not life-threatening, the sight of them is literally breathtaking – it almost looks like he has a hole in his head. After the accident, he was fortunately able to stand up on his own and even recorded the aftermath on video.
His passenger was not so lucky and also suffered a head injury. He also did not have a helmet on. He remained lying motionless on the road. No further information about his medical condition is available.
The incident is a harsh reminder for all motorcyclists about the importance of wearing a helmet. Your head is more fragile than you think or are willing to admit. Wearing a helmet can be the difference between life and death, even at low city speeds. Stay safe!
