Oil Slick

I have to thank you guys for saving my bacon. I was riding to work in Boston when my commute turned to hell. I high-sided my CBR600RR after hitting an oil slick in the middle of my lane. I remember the whole event because your Airframe helmet kept me conscious and my head safe. I went over the handlebars after my bike 'righted itself' and the first thing to hit the pavement was my head, followed by my right shoulder, my ribs and then my waist. I was wearing a Pursuit jacket, Merc gauntlet gloves and a Field Armor back protector.

I broke my collar bone and six of my ribs. I bruised my lung and liver, but I had no rashes whatsoever except for my knees (I was wearing jeans). The paramedics were amazed to find me walking and the doctors were amazed to hear that my head was the primary impact area. I never once thought about a head injury until after the doctor let loose a few expletives when he heard what happened.

I am alive and will ride again thanks to your engineering. And you bet your ass it'll be under another Airframe helmet!

Thank you,

Adam L.
