Please, please, please tell anyone and everyone you know that does not wear a helmet when riding a scooter, motorcycle or bicycle to please wear one.A few weeks ago someone we know (we didn't know her real well, but knew her well enough to be affected by her death) was killed in a scooter accident and about the same time my brother was also in a serious scooter accident and he survived. My brother was wearing a helmet but the girl who was killed was not. It saddens me so much.
The girl crashed and ended up fracturing her skull in 4 places. When they got her to the hospital she still had a heart beat but the tests indicated there was no blood getting to her brain. The following day her family decided to remove the resuscitator and four hours later, her heart stopped beating. She was 38 years old and the mother of 2 children.
In my brother's accident, he was following a truck and the truck suddenly pulled off the side of the road because there was something in the road and my brother couldn't maneuver around the debris quick enough and crashed. He broke a shoulder, his wrist on the opposite arm and had bruising and scrapes on the rest of his body.
I beg everyone to please wear helmets, it may save your life.

When you say Scooter do you mean like a motorized one? Very sad.
I hope your brother recovers quickly!
OMG! That is terrible!
Sorry to hear about your brother and friend.
Hope your brother is getting better. My parents ride motorcycles and don't wear helmets. They did for a bit after one of their friends was killed in an accident, but they don't like them. Drives me nuts, but I can't make them.
