My brothers mate was down the pub when he was told about a cyclist who
was wearing a cycle helmet when he swerved off the road down a bank
and into some trees.
He was left hanging from the tree by his helmet strap for four hours &
nearly died.

Bloody hell - someone down the pub only told me that same story last
night.

I wonder if it was the same cyclist?

Oh - hang on - it can't be - the one in the "story" I was told was
eaten by foxes.

Still - goes to show - you can be too careful.
