This breaks the rider’s collarbone. (Still better than not having a face though)
Always wear an approved brain bucket and gear or become a road pizza.
We have laws which force people to wear helmets, and wear seat belts. These are common sense laws to prevent people from killing themselves. Nobody bats an eye.
This is the example I’d use during covid when people were complaining about masks being against their rights, even when it would protect them from being sick.
My guy, you’re someone who wouldn’t wear a helmet if the laws had only just changed to enforce them. You’re a hazard to yourself.
There are still plenty of idiots who make a stink about helmets and seat belts unfortunately.
I’m confident the overlap between seatbelt and mask wearing is >99%
Yeah, got one just like that.
Helmet means full face, fuck everything else.
Cool but can I get another model? I feel like the white shit wouldn’t be great for visibility
Don’t forget leathers or some other full body protection, too. Dress for the slide, not the ride.
Derby skater here:
Hell yes wear your helmet.
I got thrown off a horse recently and my head hit the ground so hard the riding helmet cracked. Scary shit. Idk if I’d even be alive rn if I wasn’t wearing it.
I had a banana fall in derby once and fell right on my head. My mouth guard and S-1 Lifer helmet prevented me from getting a concussion. If you’re doing anything on wheels without a seatbelt, you gotta wear your helmet.
Don’t wear this particular helmet, kiddo
Good time to remind people, any helmet that has been in a crash, even ones that have just been banged around really hard, should not continue to be used.
Helmets have crush zones and structures that are designed to fail (inside and out) to protect you, but once they’re used/deformed theyre done. Reusing a helmet beats nothing but you really should get a new one after each incident.
Idk, I had a few minor accidents with mine and it looks and sits ok. I think it’s a rumor, spread by moto equipment corporations in order to prevent me from ending my own life in the next one
Looks like 3 different people didn’t get what you said.
11 now. I wonder how high it will go.
Reading is hard.
Writing is even harder
I know this. I used to ride. Got hit by a car swiping three lanes across traffic. They didn’t care to look. My head whacked the pavement hard. Got road rash and a concussion. The helmet saved my life though.
Weirdly had PTSD after trying to ride again and dropped it like a bad habit. Helmets save lives, on bicycles too y’all. Just shocking to see how many folks on both motorcycles and bicycles that don’t wear a helmet.
Yeah, that’s a common experience after bad motorcycle crashes. Glad you’re still with us!
Thank you! very appreciative to be alive!
