All that awesome bike riding took a little turn. Too fast down the hill in our park, not real confident using the pedal brakes yet, dragged his toes to slow himself down, & went right over the handlebars. Poor dad was on his own bike, 20 feet behind, watching it happen. Landed right on his chin, popped up immediately screaming & crying. First trip to the ER (pretty sure it won’t be the last). Total damage: 4 stitches in chin, chipped tooth, significant bites on both sides of tongue (this was actually the worst part because he couldn’t eat well for days), abrasion & bruise on knee/hip bone/elbow, and small bruise on forehead from helmet. The helmet definitely did it’s job - small scratches showing where it hit the ground and protected him. The very next day he wanted back on his bike (yay!!) but we had to say no because we needed to replace the helmet. Pretty good story and incredibly strong young man. We’re so proud of him. <3
