I was fully conscious the whole time.

First, it was terrifying watching it run over my leg, over my hip, over my chest and right towards my head. I remember the extreme pressure and how much it hurt and then it was all over with. After that I remember just laying on the asphalt unable to move but thinking how happy I was to see the sky again.

He has never apologized to this day. I sat next to the guy in court and had no idea it was him, but he must have known it was me, I was the only busted up guy on crutches in the courtroom.

I was told he didn't know I was under there. He was a 76 year old man and said he didn't know he hit me at all. I smashed into him at 45 mph, he had to have known.

Also, he didn't reverse, after he hit me and drug me across the intersection he hit a curb, he was trying to go over the curb apparently and get back onto the road and that's when he ran me over.

Only 60k... and after attorney fees and unpaid medical bills I walked away with 31k.

Nope. I think I will when the kids are a little older, so I'll say I don't ride right now.

I've been looking at a dirt bike, but probably will end up getting a 4 wheeler, more kid friendly.

I had minor brain trauma and had 2 bulging discs which were pinching nerves going into my head and I had migraines everyday for about 2 years. Now there are less often but still every 2-3 days. The helmet really did a great job at holding up and it definitely saved my life.

The helmet was pretty scratched up from the accident and getting dragged along the asphalt, but no visible cracks or anything. Everyone signed it like a cast while I was in the hospital.

I did send them a thank you note. They wrote me back and said they wanted me to send them my helmet for testing and there is no way that I was going to give it away.

Very good point. I didn't think about it like that, I just didn't want them to keep my helmet.

I was on my work(about 7am) traveling about 45mph in the left lane about to get onto I-95. There was a back up in the right lane and I was just cruising through the intersection in the left. As soon as I went into the intersection a Ford Ranger whipped out of the left lane and tried to go left at the intersection into the Wawa. As he turned left into the gas station and I smashed into the side of him and went in betwixt his tires. He drug me across the intersection and hit a curb and stopped. I thought it was over at that point, but thats when he tried to drive over the curb and get back onto the road. At that point he ran over my knee, hip, ribs, collar bone and then over my head.
