Today, I got hit by a car while riding my bike to work. In the hospital, every single nurse lectured me about how I wouldn't be here if I wore a helmet, which I'm sure would be really helpful to my broken leg. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was sent to the hospital after being hit by a car while on my bicycle. The police officer said it was my fault for not looking, even though the car pulled up without looking. I now have a small herniated disc in my neck and abrasions on my thigh. FML
Today, I got hit by a car while walking into the hospital to visit my wife, who had also gotten hit by a car. FML
Today, I came out from the E.R. with an arm cast and stitches on my head, all because a cyclist ran me over on a pedestrian walkway and got away. FML
Today, while driving to work, an idiot pulled out of a junction without looking and wiped me out. I'm now in hospital with two broken legs, looking at employment pages because I didn't give work "enough notice" about my absence. FML
Today, my bike abruptly stopped working, torpedoing me headfirst into the sidewalk. I lay there in agony for a few minutes, and the only guy who saw it happen said, "Lucky you didn't get hurt!" FML
Today, I was riding an electric scooter on my way to work when a car sped out of a driveway and hit me. Not only did I end up in hospital, but I missed my job on the second day back. FML
Today, I'm recovering from a bad motorcycle crash that could have cost me my life. A truck pulled out in front of me while going 60. Luckily I only have a broken arm and a fractured sternum. I was just notified by my attorney that the guy at fault has no insurance or assets to his name. FML
Today, a nurse berated me for not being able to lift my leg myself so she could put a cast on. My leg is broken in two places. FML
Today, after I fell over and fractured my knee, I've been in hospital for a week. I now have a metal plate in my knee, and am due to be off work for months, I wouldn't mind as much if I hadn't been hit by a car two years ago, spent a week in hospital for a fractured vertebrae, and was off work for months. FML
Today, I didn't feel like going to work, so I called in sick. Five hours later while out shopping, I got hit by a car at a crosswalk. Now I'm laid-up in the local hospital, really wishing I was with the guys at work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It wouldn't help your leg, but you should be wearing one!

Yeah, you should get a helmet for your leg.

And you wouldn't have written that reply to #7 if OP wore a helmet.

Maybe she meant knee-pads? Either way, FYL for having a broken leg.

You're lucky it wasn't worse

Okay first, I witnessed a guy on his bike get hit by the car in front of me 2 weeks ago. Entirely the bicyclists fault because he went against the light so nobody should talk about the driver at all without the full story. Second, The guy I saw landed right on his face with no helmet. The nurses may be confused about avoiding a broken leg with a helmet but they are definitely not wrong about the helmet. You're lucky, it could have been much worse.

I was in a similar accident recently, I was hit by a car on my bike as I rode it through a cross-walk on a green light. A truck turning right didn't see me coming and bam. The paramedics and nurses at the hospital lectured me about helmets too...they've seen preventable head injuries and they're only trying to save your brain from exploding all over the road. I've started wearing a helmet, and the fact that I thought I was too cool for it before seems idiotic now.

You got lucky. You could've gotten injured even worse, but karma was on your side. Wear a damn helmet.

Wait, Im confused... The nurses are telling him if he DID wear a helmet he would be dead?? That doesnt make any sense...

They're telling him that if he did wear a helmet, then he wouldn't' be in the hospital.

No they're telling OP that if she had worn a helmet she wouldn't be in the hospital.
