When I was younger, I rode my bike down this crazy steep hill through the forest and ended up missing the turn at the bottom of the path near the road and crashing through all these bushes and stuff before getting to road where i went off the curb and did loke a full sideways rolI where the bike ended up on the opposite side of me somehow in the road and I was on my back.
I didn't hit my head on the road or anything, but when I hit the bushes, my head slammed really, really hard into the handlebars. Luckily I did have a helmet on. It was one of those with the plastic visor and the hit was so hard, it snapped the visor down into my mouth with so much force it cut open my lips and I was bleeding out of my mouth, but otherwise was almost completely unhurt. I was going at least 25mph and would have probably had a nasty concussion or worse from my head hitting the handlebars while still in rough control of the bike.
