1st Bike crash – he lives to tell about it
Bike crash & he lived to tell about it, originally uploaded by verners.
Here, Luke is pictured after his first “major” biking accident at Walnut Grove Park. He was cutting over a dirt field to meet up with Mom and Dad when something went wrong and sent him flying face first into the earth below. There was a one-and-a-half foot mark the width of his face in the midst of the scene. He was crying himself into convulsions, spitting out a mouth full of dirt. His nostrils were completely filled with dirt and his two eyes were the only things visible.
So, really, as you can see he’s doing pretty well considering. One thing was clear though, helmets are great head protection only if you do not land face first.
