THE GRANT
PRO-BUCKET
SAVED MV LIFE *
Here’s his story:
‘Writes Tom Poteet, from Burbank, Cal.,
1970 District 37 Lightweight Champion
I revived some two hours later and was taken to the
hospital, where I learned the only serious injury I had
sustained was a broken collarbone. My head had struck
both the concrete pipe and the rocky bottom without
any fracture or injury. I am convinced the
Grant Pro-Bucket I was wearing saved
my life. The helmet itself only
showed abrasions and scuff
marks. The liner absorbed the
tremendous impact from the
"Last May 25th, while leading a desert race at about 50
m.p.h., in an unmarked stretch, I went off a cliff into a
20 ft. deep ravine, with a concrete aqueduct pipe run-
ning across the bottom. I hit the pipe head-on and was
knocked unconscious.
