A few years ago I noticed that another employee had a really old bicycle helmet – one of those old ones that looked like half of a ping pong ball. I made the comment that he must have some interesting stories about such an old helmet and he denied it, saying that he’d bought the helmet the day after a friend of his had an accident where he fell to the ground and got road burn to the side of his head that left him with a bald streak for the rest of his life. He was riding next to his friend when he had the accident and the next day he went to the bike shop and bought the helmet, but never had an accident of his own.
