I call custard...The distance you'd have to be dragged to grind it down that much just don't stack up with the story.
Plus if you think about the location of the grinding, picture where the neck and body would have to be to get this part of the lid to scrape along the road. If you're under a bus you're not going to be doing headstands like this damage would require.
I've had some BIG off's at high speed and hit the ground with my head and slid. NONE have any damage more than the size of a couple of 50 pence pieces.
Good story mind, never mind reality
That has got to be the biggest bullst story ever posted by anyone ever. It's also so obviously fake that there really shouldn't be a discussion. Roads don't have such perfectly smooth surfaces that they'd file the edges of that so perfectly.
If there was a hint of truth in that, then the guy would be dead from the other injuries that he would have sustained.

Complete bks. Not only would you need speed and distance to do that, you'd need considerable downward force. Probably enough to have squashed the shell of the helmet. That's been ground or cut away deliberately as sure as my arse points to the ground.
Actually, if the bus had him hooked up in such a way that his head was forced into the tarmac AND dragged him for quite a long way, it maybe do-able. And that's after exactly no years as a crash investigator with any credible organisation

Choped with a bandsaw.
The trailing edge would be chipped to st if it was a sanded with a rough surface, and if it was a smoother grit it'd heat up too much and melt the inner parts of the helmet, which are mainly polystyrene...

It has gone into the foam. That looks like discoloured polysterene to me, possible from dirt? You can see the slight line where it becomes the hard shell around it. Which actually would be likely to support his claim as I'm not convinced a saw or sander would do leave that black residue.Also when people make up injuries, they don't normally bring up a damaged spleen, most people don't even know what it does.
That said I'm sitting on the fence. For a change.
I really don't know what to think with this One, my gut is saying it a load of st but my head is thinking different.
I can't see why anyone would make anything up like this, I really can't.
In the link it says that he was dragged under a bus so it is possible that the damage could be from that.
