Motorcyclist kicked in head by deer

Mitch Haley said:

Kicked in the head and knocked off his bike by a deer at highway
speeds and his head struck the pavement. Did the helmet save his
life, or would he have been OK without one?

Did you read the article?

Maceachen was wearing eye protection, but no helmet,
according to the State Patrol.

"I've got hoof prints on the left side of my head and
the pavement indentation on the right side of my head,"
said James Maceachen.

Well, he's alive anyway.

I had a big buck jump over a 'rail to trail' bike path about 30 ft in front of
me once ... he totally cleared the path. Whoa dude !

I was riding on a dirt road with my then pre-teen niece and
a deer ran between us. She was maybe 15' behind me at the time.
Made quite an impression on her, I missed the whole thing.

Mitch.
