Giro Merit Helmets Won’t Protect Your Noggin:
Problem:
The recalled helmets do not comply with the U.S. CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.#giro #bell #helmets #headinjury #recall

Head Injuries Boost Your Premature Death Risk: Best Of: Jan, 2023:
Suffering a head injury more than doubles your risk of dying at some time over a 30 year period according to University of Pennsylvania neurologists. #headinjury, #death, #sports

Never give up, even if you're out cold.

Every year, for approximately the last 600 years, the legendary "Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling Race" takes place in Brockworth, near Gloucester, England. Participants chase a wheel of (what else) Gloucester Cheese that is rolled down the hill. The event attracts people from all over the world.

A 19 year old Canadian woman fell and hit her head while chasing the 7 pounds of rolling cheese, rendering her unconscious. Only after she came to, did she discover that she had one the race.

Congratulations to Delaney Irving from Vancouver Island, BC.
Winner, winner.. cheese dinner?

@fkamiah17 @ChrisMayLA6 An ex- of mine had epilepsy (nothing to do with the reason the relationship ended - she met someone else and they are both still happy 👵🏼), and a friend of mine used to do respite care for people with ABIs: it is … not pleasant, and for any organisation to trivialise or ignore any head injury is unacceptable, and I am sorry it happened to you. We’ve got sporting bodies here grudgingly starting to take things like concussions seriously, but that needs to be so everywhere and not just male sports! (Sorry I don’t know what DWP is - am in Australia, although partner is currently visiting friends and rellies in Cymru and England) #DomesticViolence #HeadInjury #BrainInjury #ABI #ToxicMasculinity.

I fell on the ice yesterday and hit my head, neck, and back pretty hard. Kiddo was worried so I got right back up and took care of business. But my head still hurts, my neck is stiff and hurts, and my shoulder is on fire.

But there's work to do, isn't there... there's always work.

Multi-Purpose Kids Bike Helmets Don’t Protect:
These helmets fail to provide positional stability or impact protection as required by US safety standards for children’s bicycle helmets leading to head injuries and worse. #ouwoer #bikehelmet #children #unsafe #headinjury #recall

Working on the next book and I've just written a scene where somebody is knocked unconscious. At this point, I don't know how many times I've done this to a character, but probably at least one in every novel, and a few more books besides. I have spent an unexpected amount of time coming up with ways of describing losing and regaining consciousness.
