Ray Allen Credits Helmet For Saving His Life Following Nasty Bike Accident

Former NBA star Ray Allen is lucky to be alive after a very nasty bike accident. Allen posted pictures of his injuries on Social Media, telling his followers his helmet saved him “from a far worse fate.” Allen shared four images on the post. The first features his helmet, which has various scratches on its left side.

The other three images show some of the bloody scrapes Allen experienced as a result of the crash.

 “My wife immediately took me to the hospital to make sure that I didn’t have any internal bleeding. Had my vitals checked and a few X-rays taken and all was ok. Thank God for my helmet because as you can see in the picture my head hit the ground and I didn’t even realize it.”

Riding a bike can be deadly if things go wrong. If any good comes out of this, it’s always wear a helmet.

Thanks goodness we didn’t lose Jesus Shuttlesworth in a bike crash.
