[Obamanaut]

of a simple motorscooter at less than 25 mph, landed headfirst like an arrow.

In the ICU there was some conjecture as to whether/not she would survive, and if so, the extent of the brain damage due to bleeding/swelling, but the neurosurgeon said that without the helmet we would not have even had *that* conversation.

I wear my helmet all the time - now - didn't prior to that.
