"It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head."

On Friday, a large delivery truck drove right over UW-Madison student Ryan Lipscomb's head, but all he suffered was a concussion and spent just a few hours at the hospital. He had noticed that truck wasn't stopping, so he slammed on his brakes and flew from his bike. The truck rolled over his head, smashing his helmet but left his noggin in fine shape. So it seems. From The Capital Times:

"I didn't see it coming, but I sure felt it roll over my head. It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head."

His helmet, a Giro, was crushed, but Lipscomb's head was fine.

Madison Police Department Sgt. Chris Boyd said the officer at the scene urged Lipscomb to keep the helmet. He did. It is all flattened and mangled and broken, unlike his head.
