As everybody is probably wondering what just happened and why Jay Debender
is such a lucky guy - here's the scoop.
Jay was riding up Broadway in the bike lane when a glass truck pulled out in
front of him - both Jay and the truck where going about 10 MPH and neither
saw each other until it was too late.
Jay only had maybe 3 feet in which to make a decision whether to grab the
brakes hard and go over the handle bars or to crash into the panes of glass
that was on the truck - Jay grab the brakes and went over. Unfortunately the
short stopping distance sent his head under the truck's rear wheel and as
the truck rolled the force & weight of the truck crushed Jay's helmet which
forced his head to pop out of the helmet - which is what saved his life.
Jay is recovering at home, he has a broken elbow, 35 stitches in his
forehead and a big bump, a possible broken hand, banged up knees and one
bruised ankle. But he is alive......thanks to his helmet. Drop him a line if
you can he would really appreciate it.
Cheers
