went over the bars and in the process of tumbling the bike hit me in the face. didnt toutch my visor or mouth portion of the helmet. so it must have been the bars, pedal, crank arm. . . . . something small. pushed the lens to my face and split me dow to my skull. freak accident. cool conversation piece though

that's a serious slice, lucky you didn't lose your eye or bust your orbit.
He got really lucky.....a plastic surgeon who wasn't busy actually sewed the cut....he re-cut it....then stitched up the inside and then the outside....he will probably end up with no scar or something very small

that's always the way to go, my brother's friends dad is a plastic surgeon, before health insurance he was the go to guy for stitches. Cleaning up the edges really, really helps for a clean scar, ER docs are usually so over worked that they just wanna close it up and get you out.

btw, the glue stuff is hard to get (the good stuff) and isn't meant for cuts that deep.

That made me laugh. Dude it's glue, not marijuana. :D
