Actually, it's pretty tough to say one way or the other. I heard of a
cyclist that was hit by a car a few years ago and broke his neck as his
head hit the windshield. They were wearing a helmet and it didn't save
their life. I myself was also T-boned by a car doing 35-40 mph and
came away with only a broken knee and road rash, even after hitting the
windshield....and I was not wearing a helmet either. Yeah....I got
real lucky. I think it all depends upon how you're hit and how you
land.

I like how they fail to mention any head trauma, but point
out that he wasn't wearing a helmet anyway. As if that would've saved
him from an impact that was hard enough to throw his bike 20 feet into
the air.
