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

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

Yeah, you should get a helmet for your leg.

Helmets are for this new soft generation. I LEARNED to ride a bike with no helmet. Wiped the hell out, scraped up my back (that's right, no shirt either) got fixed up, and got right back on.

I wonder if you would be singing the same tune if your brains were pouring out your nose onto the asphalt. That was a TMI description, I know, but unless you're about 12 and require a parent to force you into a helmet, you should have outgrown the "I'm too cool for protection" stage.

Did you also drive a car with your eyes closed? Was going off a a cliff not a big deal?

I laughed way harder than I should have while imagining this in my head..

Helmets are useful. Especially if you're in the tardis with the doctor driving

Plot twist he did get a head injury and he's hallucinating it was his leg!

Perhaps because you're lucky you just broke your leg as opposed to crushing your skull. Also, it's the law for road cyclists.

I completely understand!! I was riding my bike home from school and everyone yelled at me about not wearing a helmet.. I had a broken ankle and my head was fine! It's not even our fault in the first place .. Most people are on their phones

Ask the doctor to help you. Whovian joke. (;

Think you shouldn't go back to that particular hospital... Ever.
