I was unfortunately first on the seen of a motorcycle/vehicle head on accident once. If riders saw what I saw they would all strap on a helmet.

I was arguing with someone once about wearing helmets.
He claimed wearing a helmet was more dangerous than not wearing one. We were standing next to a brick building, so I put my lid on, banged my head against the wall, and said, "Your turn." For some reason he wasn't up to the challenge. |

A helmet saved my life during a motorcycle crash at about 100 mph. I always wear a helmet.

I lowsided at 45mph coming around a turn when 2 deer popped in front of me and I just grabbed the brake and prayed. If I didn't have a helmet my face would probably be flat and I definately wouldn't have a nose anymore.

Another one bites the dust....seriously, though, this is why you wear a helmet. |

Motorcycle riders who don't wear helmets want to be seen riding their shiny, expensive bikes.
It 's never been about safety or comfort. It's all about vanity. |

Yep. It was an old one and ready for replacement anyway. |

I support an adult's right to choose. In SC, the law is that anyone under 21 has to wear one and 21 & over can decide for themselves. I'm a helmet advocate, but not a helmet Nazi. I don't like a paternalistic .gov protecting me from myself. I encourage helmet use, but if you're an adult citizen, well, I'm not your mother. |

Unfortunately, we continue to pay insurance rates that are based on actuary tables. Those tables are strongly influenced by prolonged care costs for non-fatal head trauma. DaddyDett |

I am DNR and have private insurance in the case of my getting smashed up, I distrust the state sponsored insurance we are forced to buy. I also ride Saddle bronc but people rarely rag on me for that and I think it is just as dangerous... overall it does not matter, I am over the age of majority and will do whatever i like with my body so long as it is legal |
