Yesterday I was in a really bad bike accident. My sister says I shouldn't say "bike accident" because accident because it implies that there was someone else involve and not just me falling off my bicycle, which is what happened. We were on the bike trail, and I was going pretty fast, I'm guessing around 18mph and my hand just slipped off the handlebars. I was riding my friend Christina's bike and she is much shorter than I so her handlebars were low and she had no grip tape on them. I tumbled to the ground and landed on my face. Luckily, my sister and I had just bought helmets before the ride because I smacked my head pretty hard. If I didn't have a helmet on I would have at least had a concussion.
I was pretty messed up. I had scrapes on both hands and on my left palm, scrapes on both knees, two gashes on my right ankle, my shirt was torn and I had a bruise on my right shoulder, but the worst was my face. I chipped my front tooth, split my lip open all the way up to my nose and tore open my chin. I needed 4 stitches for the cut on my chin.
The pictures might be kind of grotesque, so I've made them spoliers below:
