Cindy Vogels' description of her husband is apparently no exaggeration: Vogels remains immobilised at the Trauma Center at Massachusetts University Hospital, where a team of specialist doctors performed three hours' reconstructive surgery for a triple break in his callus (ankle bone) and have kept him in traction as a precautionary measure for a fracture to his C7 vertebrae.
Doctors at the hospital have also said that Vogels' helmet saved his life. "I'm just so glad he had a helmet on; they [the doctors] said that if he didn't have the helmet on, it would have been game over for sure," said Cindy Vogels to Cyclingnews, who, not surprisingly, is still in a state of shock and disbelief herself.
Apparently Vogels' helmet took so much of the impact, it actually compressed into his head and cut his skull

I don't understand your comment. He is simply quoting verbatim the cyclingnews.com story. Are they trolls, too? I usually see a troll as someone making outrageous, unsupported, ill-informed comments to inflame an unsuspecting newsgroup. That doesn't seem to be the case here. Just my two cents. Gary

Normally, I'd say you're right, but knowing the history of the helmet debate here, I'd say Henry's trolling.
Even better would have been to quote someone saying "Campy is better than Shimano."

It's too bad that Campy and Shimano don't make helmets.
