disclaimer: the following story is graphic...

Today I came up on a nasty bike accident. I saw a pool of blood and 2 mopeds laying in the middle of the 4-lane highway. The apparent riders were sitting in the median strip holding their bleeding heads while they waited for the ambulance. I didn't see any helmets, and without them, a road/head battle is always won by the road... The fact that the riders were sitting up was a good sign, however.
