After collecting a blood bike for a Friday night shift, I was returning home on the M4 when I was knocked off my bike by a drug driver.
After catapulting over another car at 70mph and sliding 10m on the tarmac, the only damage to me was a fractured tibia, 2 broken toes and a cracked rib.
The paramedics took all precautions with me and after 3 CT scans they were amazed at the lack of serious injuries.
I explained to the doctors how the helite works and they were all in agreement that the airvest probably saved my life.
I need my helite repairing now as the only damage to that is a scrape across the back from the tarmac.
What price safety???
