Oh hey that's my dad! He's mostly ok, fairly battered and bruised and needs surgery to have a metal plate put in to his jaw. The bleeding in that Reddit photo was from a bit of the van's wing mirror that went a good few cm into his neck. Was more concerned about the state of his bike afterwards!

Hey guys, this is me. Back home after a few days in hospital - still waiting for the op to fix a broken jaw. Plastic narrowly missed my windpipe. I have a few stitched in my neck, elbows, otherwise lucky to be alive. 17mph head on with a van who turned into me. Proper police investigation open. Driver stopped to help apparently. All in all I don't recommend hitting anything. I'll keep you posted on progress :-)

'All in all I don't recommend hitting anything.'

Understatement of the forum. Glad you've still got a sense of humour. Heal up well buddy.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
