lol ...it was a gag shot that we set up.

I believe that was on the bricks themselves of the 'Brickyard'!

I would love a copy of it... Any true trivia buff should be able to tell it was a set up because I believe the 'planted' fallen segway was a p133, and I have never owned that particular model...

Perhaps you could post a copy of that shot just as a hoot!

The clumsiness of a toddler doesn't count, they're so short that they're almost just rolling around anyways! :P

But, no, every time she starts yelling at me because i for some reason have forgotten my helmet, she can never come up with an example where i have fallen and hit my head... One of my 3 sisters have gotten all the clumsiness, and have injured her head countless times, and have had stings everywhere... She must have gotten my share of head injuries as well!

(I have once been in need of my helmet, but it only saved my life because i had the strap so lose that it slid down on the side of my head, and covered my right temple. The helmet got a 1/2" deep dent there from the edge of a car door, and i believe that hit would've been fatal if i had either not worn the helmet, or worn the helmet properly, in which case it wouldn't have covered my temples.

That collision was on my bicycle, and severely damaged the muscle connecting my arm to the chest, meaning i couldn't move my arm inwards for quite a while, and i lacked strength in the move for months to follow.

What did i learn from that collision? Helmets doesn't protect some very fatal points, and keep your distance to cars. They may not be smart enough to look in the mirror before opening the door. And a car-door hurts at 30mi/h)
