Cheers , I will definitely keep you posted . Just in case its a fatal crash could you send me your address so I can get my wife or my 2 sons to pass you on the appropriate info. It will be "really interesting" when I am seriously hurt or killed ,,,jesus
Thanks for your nice post
I Posted the article because it was just released. I then gave my opinion about helmets.
The thread is about your views on the article and not about me not wearing a helmet.
But you don't wear a helmet right? I wish you a long and healthy life. But accidents do happen. This is why insurance companies exist. I would guess you don't have any insurance either because you don't think anything will happen to you. Plenty of people have posted their experience here where helmets have saved from becoming a vegetable. You choose not to wear a helmet, congratulations to you, and I hope you never have an accident. But because you don't wear a helmet, you should also fill out an organ donor card because someone else WILL be saved because of what you choose not to do. Think about it. It's devastating when patients die because no suitable organs are available, and it's a huge problem, read up on it, since you appear to be equally interested in studies about not wearing helmets.
I was going to give you a sensible reply but you seemed to have pinned me down as some long haired guy who rides around doing wheelies whilst texting his friends, does not have insurance and does not carry a donor card.
You are wrong on all accounts [ except the hair] "assumption the undoing of stupid men or women"
it seems to me if you read the posts above. its the guys who are wearing the helmets that seem to be crashing . There's a statistic right there that seems to suggest the helmet wearing guys on this site are crashing /having serious injuries and me the non helmet wearer is having no serious crashes.
I think the fact you said it would be "interesting" when I do have a major/fatal accident speaks loads about you.
