I fell off a garden wall about a month ago and landed on my head from about 9 foot.
Ambulance trip to hospital, head taped to head blocks. Other than A&E being pretty slow and really busy (multi car pile up and some serious injuries coming through), I was looked after really well, CT scan, x rays, neck brace, follow up x days, and further checkups.
Fortunately I think I have stronger bones than the average pro cyclist, and escaped without any broken bones in my head and neck or concussion. Did crack a bone or two in my hand due to impact, but they healed up ok.
You’d hope that pro cyclists got quicker and excellent treatment.
