Bicyclist: Helmet Saved Head As Truck Rolled Over it

“It worked perfectly. Without the helmet, I wouldn’t be here,” Ryan Lipscomb says.

His helmet’s almost crushed, but a local bicyclist says it saved his life during a hit and run crash on Madison’s East Side.

This week is Bike to Work Week. A local graduate student is a living example of why you should wear a helmet on your next commute. This young man says he always wears a helmet. He was on his way home to study when the crash happened. On Monday, he took his test, after putting his head to the test in a hit and run crash.
