That helmet didn't save your life, God wants you alive. You have something to accomplish still. My guess is that your work will lead to saving other peoples' lives, and God wants you to achieve that. It is absolutely nothing short of a miracle that you are still alive, not to mention still able to move and walk. God himself intervened to save you.
@ArsonistInUrFirewall Why do you have to ruin and befoul a perfectly good comment with such abominations as your hate for God?
Also, I'm not religious. There's a difference between religion and faith, and if you don't know what it is, stop hating until you figure it out. Then you can start hating again. (Haters gonna hate.)
Thank science you are alive and walking. It took me almost a month of looking at the link for this video before I finally watched it. It was very hard for me to watch now that I did as well. I am just so glad you are OK.
As much as I love riding my bike, I never ride or walk along the street because I know this can happen. Lights, helmet or not, all it takes is one driver not paying attention for the slightest fraction of a second.
Where did Flashing red rear lights come from? It may make the battery last longer and get higher efficiency from the LED but it is Confusing to other drivers and imparts less or jumbled information regarding your position. Motor Vehicles subject to Road Traffic Acts would be forced off the road by law on the grounds of Intermittent Lighting!. Cyclists are stupid if they think they work properly. Donal was very lucky that this and him were not held to be at fault for his accident. A Motorcyclist.
@CommonRaven Yeah, I was rather surprised at that as well. If an accident like this had happened where I live, the driver would have been facing prison time. In Oregon, hit and run (or "leaving the scene of an accident" in legal terms) is a felony punishable by a year in prison at a minimum (I believe the maximum is two years if no maliciousness in the "accident" is evident). The only exception to prison time would have been the advent of a condition that would have stripped the driver's license
@DistendedPerinium (continued) permanently or the driver sustained an injury in the accident that impaired mental function. In the former case, the driver would still be facing legal issues.
@DistendedPerinium I live near to where this accident happened and lots of accidents happen there but they don't even lock burglars up here in the UK now! and everyone I know thinks its terrible, its cos all the prisons are full, I think they got a similar problem in the states.
@MindCrazedBanjo In a lot of states, such as California, New York, Florida and other densely populated states they have overcrowding problems in prisons. In the Pacific Northwest, population density is relatively low (only roughly 4 million here in Oregon, an area a little larger than the UK), so we don't have that problem. For the most part, each state handles its own prison system (ie- commit a crime in Oregon, go to prison in Oregon), so prison crowding is specific to each state.
@MindCrazedBanjo Yeah, a couple of weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the overcrowding at California prisons and jails violated the Constitution (something about cruel and unusual punishment) and ordered tens of thousands released. Similar cases are pending.
About two years ago I was also hit from the rear. The motorist that hit me ran. The Sun just raising to my back.
The last I remember I was about a quarter mile back, looking in my mirror at the cars comming up.. Then about 20 minutes later, I was standing with complete amnesia. I had no injuries, just mental trauma.
Now I know what could have happened, I was very lucky..
I've walked instead of drove in order to get where I'm going and there have been plenty of instances where drivers have attempted to scare the shit out of me by swerving in my "general direction"... People are such giant dicks!
@krstcmjns People are dicks. I had a truck slam on their brakes in front of me because they didn't like motorcycles. Now I have a broken pelvis and thumb and bruising everywhere, bike destroyed and missing work. Haha, so funny, I hope it was worth the grin. It could have been worse too.
@aluisious I'm curious, are you seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist? Because, I know that I'm pretty bothered by people doing this to me, I can't image what you must be going through...
@krstcmjns Nope, I'm not that surprised. A look at the news makes it obvious that horrible people are among us. Sadly all you can do is limit your exposure to them.
@culwin they're two different types of bats. People play baseball in the UK too although it's usually called rounders and has slightly different rules- but it uses a baseball bat to play.

I don't understand the mentality of a person who can run someone down then flee the scene leaving them for dead. I don't really buy the memory loss story. If you can't remember running someone over, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to drive in the first place. Just saying.
it's kindof interesting that both the cyclist and the driver both have memory loss of the event.
might be a similar effect to UFO abductions. Not sayin' UFOs are real - just that these people do lose time, and there must be some kindof cause out there. Tends to happen on country roads too.
@roidroid Brain trauma causes memory loss, so the cyclist's memory loss is easily understandable. For the driver... well, maybe mental stress can cause memory loss.. or maybe she's lying.
@mcjhn It's simpler to put on a helmet than to cure bad driving in everyone. Maybe when there is a cure for what people are bad at i will agree with you, but for now he is right.
@Wranid hmm, but I think we need to encourage lots more people to cycle and helmets put people off, this TED talk about it is good /watch?v=07o-TASvIxY
Wow. Fate has an interesting way of working sometimes. I am glad Mr McNally (Dr.?) appears to be alright. I especially enjoyed his analogy of the choice of being hit on the head with a bat with or without a helmet. That certainly gives a person pause. I look forward to the followup video.
I would never cycle on roads with motor vehicles, it's just too dangerous. If they want to encourage cycling then cycle lanes separate from the road need to be built.
Did he lose the ability to walk , Feel or both ? ( from the lumbar vertebral fracture )
and he is a lucky man indeed 3 week's ago a patient died in the ER for atlas bone fracture & a skull base fracture ( probably from the skull base fracture )
Thank you very much Mr.Donal for sharing this experience with us
I'm surprised no one (at least on current comments page) pointed out that special bike paths significantly improve safety of biking as well. I don't think that's the reason to not to wear helmet, but it dramatically reduces a risk of some jackass ramming you while having "memory loss".
Back to the topic, I like the approach of this spine expert - I'd be glad to see more of medicine-oriented videos. :)
shouldn't the driver get more punishment for leaving you? that sentence sounds about right for the dangerous driving, but leaving you on the side of the road is terrible.
Women drivers...a woman was driving when I was struck, crossing the street after getting an ice cream. Shattered my femur. My right leg is shorter than my left leg because there wasn't enough bone left to set it back together, so they had to splice the bone together. I was 7. Women drivers irritate the hell outta me. Especially when I see them ditzing around on their phones. Oh and on a side note, a woman driver hit my mothers PARKED car, it was clearly in the park lane and she plowed on into it
I work at a chiropractic office and have learned the importance of spinal health. It is literally the switchboard to your entire body. Take care of it.
This is one of the highest quality video interviews I've seen in a while. I plan on e-mailing this to family members that do a bit of cycling, and hope to encourage them to wear helmets while doing so.
Thanks for the time and effort. Great work, this is professional caliber material, for whatever that lamen-compliment is worth to you.
She should have been required to perform 1 hour of community service for every hour you were in the hospital, in recovery and in rehab. I think 1200 to 1800 hours ought to do it...
I thought studies were very uncertain on the benefits of cycle helmets in a crash.
Sure, it couldn't hurt (although a study did find cars give helmetted riders less room. Helmet wearers may also be involved in more risk/crashes). Where helmets are mandated, no reduction in fatality is apparent. Pushing helmets does seem to scare people into a reduction in cycle use however, (see some comments here) ... the low statistics for cycling injury vs sedentary-lifestyle outcomes then needs considered.
First the story being told, with an effect that is quite "Isn't that interesting".
Second the looks on his face. It's been quite a while since I've seen someone look so sad, while smiling from time to time. Of course I could be horribly wrong. I apologize for that; blue/grey eyes usually look rather expressive.
I wasnt wearing a helmet and I was riding (racing someone on a motor bike) in my town I turned the corner hit a stone lost control of my bike and i hit a lamp post... I wish I was sensible enough to wear a helmet. My ear was beading my, ears were ringing, I was so dizzy I couldn't stand up and I had a massive headache, afterwards the side of my face and the side of my body way bruised. But I havent learnt my lesson I just dont ride a bike anymore!!
@MisterB0z After a ban of 12 months or longer, you have to take a compulsory extended driving test before you can get back on the roads- so yes, I hope the driver fails! What a poor excuse for a human being.
I think I'm going to start wearing a helmet... It's dangerous around here for cyclists. Thanks for this very interesting and informative video. I think I learned something tonight...
Thank you for persuading me to always wear a helmet. No matter how sportive you are and how careful you drive, there is always a slight possibility that something unexpected like this is gonna happen. It is also important to think about visibility, I am glad that the lights of my bike are working again.
The judges might have their reasons, we don't know. Even if the verdict is unjust, this is not the right place to complain.
very glad he wasn't brain damaged or paralyzed, where i live in the southern US about 1 person is killed every 4 months because the city isn't designed for bicycles
Brady, this is great. I don't mean in the "we like to here these bad things" way, but for a science channels it is amazing. I hope you will spend some more time in the medical/biology departments, although we love the Physics and Chem
It's good to see you looking good and well again. You were bitch-slapped by the god of irony and survived. There's plenty of people out there who owe their quality of life to people like you and you deserve a big 'Thank you'.
So she ran him over and made a conscious decision to drive away without calling for help and he got her licence suspended for 18 months? Was that a joke or...in my mind that amounts to murder.
It took a massive impact for Donal McNally to lose his memory, it took nothing but guilt for that driver to "lose" theirs. If it takes mere emotions for that driver to block out their actions and supposedly do something inhuman, they shouldn't be allowed the privilege of a the use of any implement other than a knife and fork. And even then, that would be a risk to them and others.
i wouldn't count on it. i'm on my second driving ban now, neither of which actually stopped me from driving. i should point out that i've never had an accident while driving, i just refuse to pay speeding and seatbelt fines.
You're very lucky. I couldn't even imagine the thoughts that were going through your head when you learned you had a spinal injury. I expect the first thing you did afterward was move your limbs in absolute relief.
Sleep paralysis hints at how awful the feeling is.
Sorry to the handful of you who saw a version of this video an hour or two ago... Moments after uploading it, I unexpectedly received the official police photos and thought I should add them.
That helmet didn't save your life, God wants you alive. You have something to accomplish still. My guess is that your work will lead to saving other peoples' lives, and God wants you to achieve that. It is absolutely nothing short of a miracle that you are still alive, not to mention still able to move and walk. God himself intervened to save you.

"The driver was disqualified from driving for 18 months"
I'm glad that our roads will be that bit safer. For all of 18 months...

@Misterb0z 18 months is not enough, Donal almost died for crying out loud!
Women shouldn't drive, it would make roads safer altogether : ). I'm kidding.

i wouldn't count on it. i'm on my second driving ban now, neither of which actually stopped me from driving. i should point out that i've never had an accident while driving, i just refuse to pay speeding and seatbelt fines.

@Misterb0z yea but in eighteen months this person with "genuine memory loss" will be back on the road. I think 18 months is a disgrace.

You're very lucky. I couldn't even imagine the thoughts that were going through your head when you learned you had a spinal injury. I expect the first thing you did afterward was move your limbs in absolute relief.
Sleep paralysis hints at how awful the feeling is.

Sorry to the handful of you who saw a version of this video an hour or two ago... Moments after uploading it, I unexpectedly received the official police photos and thought I should add them.
