Concussion are serious business compared to most broken bones.
Collarbones generally heal fine and most others. A broken hip
certainly more to worry about than most. Concussions are an unknown
in my book and in many medical doctors. The left over effects are not
always apparent at first and hard to really pin down. The brain in
complicated and we see this in football over the years and boxing.

In some way I don't blame a cyclist for walking away depending on the

general as you can fall over bad just barely moving.

I disagree that ordinary bicycling's risk of concussion is
significantly higher than other activities'. Society would do better
by stopping the scare tactics regarding bicycling, and by convincing
motorists or pedestrians to wear helmets.

Your hatred for helmets is well known.

“Hatred of helmets” is a funny concept.  Do you wear diapers? No? So you
