Just like you say about people making choices, do you think people choose to crash??? Is dirt somehow harder than concrete or asphalt??? This sometimes I wear one mentality astounds me.why not just stop being a bitch about it and let people do what they want to do. does it have any effect on your day to day life? i think helmets are reasonable for park and vert and mega ramp, but street you should be able to choose. i don't ride with a helmet riding street, but i do for ramps most of the time, and dirt most of the time. it's personal choice.
i wish i could choose when i crash. i'd mark those days on my calendar as to be properly prepared for the impending disaster that awaits me. the choices thing was also about people choosing whether or not they want to wear one. i'm an avid BMX rider, and accept the fact that crashes are commonplace in the sport i engage in. if garrett reynolds wants to throw a truck down a 17 stair without a helmet, good for him.Just like you say about people making choices, do you think people choose to crash???

I agree. I worked as a social worker for three years at a company that houses and cares for people with traumatic brain injuries. This company charged more money than you could imagine for the services that were provided. Uncle Sam picked up most or all of the cost in most cases.Helmets are not just a simple personal choice. A single bad head injury means society pays greatly in emergency, healthcare, lawsuit, and other costs.
i don't know what's wrong with you then, but it does not affect me.Apparently it effects grammar and punctuation.
i don't do it to look cool, i do it because it's a hell of a lot more comfortable to ride without a helmet on a hot day.Also, if you think it's cool to ride without a , you should spend a day at that facility, I guarantee you would change your mind.
so that in 5 years you have to wipe their ass because they're miserable slobs who play WoW all day? good policy.If I ever catch my kids riding or skating without a helmet, I will cut there bike or board in half, and put them into chess club.
How many bicycles have seatbelts, roof/cage structure, crumple zones, multiple airbags, ABS, stability control and misc other active and passive safety systemshow many of you wear a helmet when driving a car?
You are aware that the vertical distance between your head and the pavement is the same when you're commuting, right?edit: i wear a helmet every time i get nasty on a bike (read: not commuting) and every time i ride a snowboard.
I hear ya man.to those who flip **** over this whole helmet dealio: how many of you wear a helmet when driving a car?
honestly, nobody cares that you are 'smarter' than those who don't wear a helmet because, guess what? you still have managed to prove through this argument that you are truly a hypocritical douchebag since you don't wear a helmet in a car.
congrats.

Are you kidding me? My kids wont be allowed to play that ****. If they end up not being allowed to ride bikes because they ae being dumb****s, then they get to play chess for entertainment. In no way does that mean I will allow them to be fat lazy ****heads. It just means that instead of going out for a ride, we are going out for a run in the hills, or the local Hischool stadium, or the gym, or anything.so that in 5 years you have to wipe their ass because they're miserable slobs who play WoW all day? good policy.
Studies have proven that there are relatively few head injuries from car accidents. Airbags and seatbelts prevent them.to those who flip **** over this whole helmet dealio: how many of you wear a helmet when driving a car?

I can tell you from personal experience that laying in a hospital bed in pain with massive bills adding up is a lot more uncomfortable...I just hope you don't end up finding this out the hard way!....Di don't do it to look cool, i do it because it's a hell of a lot more comfortable to ride without a helmet on a hot day.

Each year many drivers suffer brain injuries as a result of car accidents. Brain injuries are the fourth leading cause of death in the US, and the leading cause of death in people under 40 years of age. Just as the rest of the body is susceptible to bruising and breaking, the brain too can endure serious trauma.Studies have proven that there are relatively few head injuries from car accidents. Airbags and seatbelts prevent them.
If there was a strong chance I would get a head injury from a car wreck, **** yeah I would wear an auto helmet.
