Dan Walker bike accident: Helmet saved my life, says TV star

TV presenter Dan Walker has said wearing a helmet saved his life in a bicycle crash in Sheffield.The Channel 5 presenter, who used to work on BBC Breakfast, was taken to hospital and was "amazed" to have not broken any bones.

"The helmet I was wearing saved my life today so - if you're on a bike - get one on your head," he tweeted. Mr Walker posted photos from inside a Yorkshire Ambulance Service vehicle alongside two members of staff, after the incident on Moore Street in Sheffield city centre on Monday morning.Image caption,"Very thankful to still be here. I have no memory of anything and just remember coming round on the tarmac with paramedics & police around me," he wrote on Twitter.

However, he said since posting about the crash he had been lectured by people telling him "bike helmets aren't important". "The emergency services at the scene yesterday told me I probably wouldn't be here if I wasn't wearing one," he added.

God Saved your life.

Some people feel too precious to wear a helmet as it ruins their street image but, better to have helmet hair than and dent in your skull where a part of your brain used to be

Oh look a clown with out his make up on .

Ouch , lucky guy !

fake news wheres the helmet ? might have stopped some more bruising that's all them things will stop

He obviously needed a full face helmet.. Wouldn't have that battered face if he did..

Don't need a helmet in a car. And it's warmer, more comfortable, and quicker, too.

Yes, Helmets are hard, brains are soft so it's always best to use both.

British roads unlike Holland are not geared up for push bikes. Major town centres should ban them. Get a taxi next time.

Article doesn't mention driver once. AbsentDriver DriverLeniency

Yet another motorist putting lives at risk. We really need fewer cars on the roads and safer infrastructure

Not riding the bike woukd have too

I'm glad you're making a good recovery, and thank goodness you WERE wearing a helmet!

If the car driver was at fault his head cam would have proved it, but he knows he’s in the wrong. Grow up,had worse injuries when I was 10yr old ,just got on with it .

You're lucky because most cyclists don't wear helmets

It should be law to wear a helmet and have insurance and pay road tax.

Many years ago I went over the top of a car in a bike accident, helmet saved my life. Risking some kind of a pun, if cycling it’s a no-brainer to wear a helmet.

Bloody hell you and Dan are milking this one. He fell off his bike, What does he want a go fund me page setting up.

Didn't know Dan had a fall of his bicycle!!🤕
