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.
