Default Magic plastic hat not required

The human skull is more than enough protection.
QUOTE:

"A teenage cyclist had a miracle escape when he hit the front of a van head first so hard some of his hair was left jammed in the shattered windscreen.. The 14-year-old collided with the van outside Barrs Hill School and Community College in Radford Road, Radford, Coventry at 8.40am this morning.

The boy was left with a head injury which is not believed to be serious.

Ambulance staff said the boy, who was not wearing a helmet, had a lucky escape.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "When ambulance staff arrived they found a small van with a badly damaged windscreen, with a dent in the bonnet.

"The 14-year-old cyclist was confused and he couldn't remember the incident, which are all the hallmarks of a head injury. The teenager was not wearing a cycle helmet at the time."

Those are classic signs of brain damage, perhaps with a helmet he would
not have suffered so badly, it certainly would not have been worse.

I hope he was taken to hospital and examined properly, despite his
"lucky escape".
