    Spoke to the victim in question today, cycling pal. He's fine, just resting up for a couple of weeks. Swollen face, stiches in face, scans cleared. He said he was really appreciative of all the random help including the lady who sacrificed her scarf to stem the bleeding. He was wearing a helmet which cracked correctly on the right temple, made the difference. Forks simply failed, cuts everywhere, road was "rough" there which seemed to cause vibrations but whether this caused it is unknown. Terrifying stuff but he's very thankful for all the help and will be racing a4 cat is year.

    Best wishes to him and a speedy recovery. It's nice to know that he OK, in the main.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    Was shocked by the accident description, glad to hear he's OK and a chapeau to the OP and "she who sacrificed a scarf".

    Last time I came off the bike badly, I landed on my chest and was badly winded. Well-intentioned passer-bys were trying to help me up, but I really just wanted to stay down until I could breath - that was first priority. So do offer help, but don't force it. If someone is injured, general first aid principle is not to move the person. That would include not lifting them to get a coat or blanket under them, unless you really know what you're doing.
