I came out with no injuries, not even a headache. Other than small
scratches on my ear and cheek, from where the helmet straps dug in.
A year later, having an MRI, they discovered I had prior injuries in
my C6/C7 vertibrae, but I can't imagine it coming from that, given
that I don't recall any neckpain coming from the attack.
