I took a big tumble in Richmond Park about 10 years ago... Was flying down a dirt track on a big hill by Ham gate. Looked behind me to see where my mate was, turned round again to see a tree stump flying towards my front wheel. Hit afore mentioned tree stump, fly through the air, land on head and then flip onto my back.
Come too a few seconds later to see my mate standing over me and laughing. Laughter stops when he sees the large gash on my forehead and a lot of blood.
I was ok - slightly concussed and winded. Still managed to cycle the 5 miles home. At which point my Mum sees my head - panics and drives me straight to hospital.
