Came off my bike this morning (had to take evasive action to avoid a kid on his bike coming the other way) hit my back and the back of my head on a metal barrier.
Luckily all is good. No broken bones (lots of pain though), neck OK.
But seriously - helmets save lives (at least it saved my life)

These are stages in mediation before negotiating an agreement, and this is the process followed by the New South Wales Community Justice Centre (CJC) program since it was established more than 40 years ago.
