Oh no hope everything is all right. I always wear one as I can fall off my bike when stood still. One if my son's friends was doing tricks in the garden in his bike and came off and went head first into the concrete post of the fence. He sustained a fractured skull but would have died had it not been for his helmet. So very sound advice.
