if you had been wearing one you would likely be googling for a new one, as they are only intended for a single impact
it is not clear that helmets prevent concussion - as that is from your brain bouncing inside your skull
heal up fast

Sounds really, really painful. Hope you heal up quick.

Stacked it in Leytonstone Friday (9th) night. A car tried a last-second overtake on a skinny sharp corner forcing me into the inside of the turn. Cornering too fast and suspected oil on the road meant the bike came out from underneath me, face hit the concrete and knocked me out for a few seconds. Fractured the base of my skull and am now under observation for anything funny going on in my tiny brain. Still in hospital so I haven't been able to check out the oil on the road. By the way, the car legged it!
I should point out that I wasn't wearing a helmet and if I was I doubt I'd be couped up in a bed at Whipp's Cross Hospital googling bike lids. Be safe out there.
