this is such a good poster/add (what ever it is), it really gets the message across so well.
it really should be... is there an enlarged version so i can read the fine print? please send it to my inbox if there is.
and for people that dont think helmets look cool... i think a lot of full face helmets look pretty bad ass!!!
even though i fell off and my bike landed on my head and knocked me out. im still not gonna wear a helmet at the skate park. i will for dirt jumping cos thats the big stuff :]
i agree!, you shou8ld always wear a helmet, even if its a trail / jumps that you know really well, anything can happen, expect the unexpected!!...WEAR A GOD DAMN HELMET...THEY SAVE LIFES!!
lol ur so imature all u can do is call people names!! u sure wont be thinkin the same wen you smack your head on the copin and knock your self into a coma or somethin like that!
"jimmymtbking", you and people like you put this site down, all you need to do is spend a little bit of money on a helmet, make yourself look a little bit silly for the time bieng, get it into your f*cking stupid little head, it could save your life!!!
TBF I respect that you can make desisions for yourself but doesnt this picture make you feel any different towards helmets?!
i dont get why ppl think they look dumb, they can be so personalized with stickers. i think of it liek an accessorie. its fun stickering up. and for those who say it feels bad and i ride differntly, cmon... i sometimes forget im wearing it.
Theres really no excuse to not wear a helmet now. Long time ago they would make you really hot and sweaty but with the new helmets, they keep your head cool, come with cool designs and are quite comfortable.
the fine print states: Every year over 11,000 people die on out roads and 30,000 are seriously injured. That means thousands of families left picking up the pieces. Families tortured by the the loss of a loved one. Crippled by reduced income or the sudden need to care for a relative with permanent brain damage. The sad truth is that 40% of these cases could have been prevented by simply wearing a helmet. When you think about it, there are no excuses.
It's all BS. I dont get why people care what other people do..
I dont wear one. f*ck off if you dont like it

why even bother with this douche.... he doesnt want to wear a helmet fine... its his brain on the pavement... and one less ass commenting on this forum
sorry boys those 2 idiots arnt related to us brits.. don't get the feeling we are all as stupid as those! ive landed on my head with a helmet on, and sprained all the muscles in my neck and shoulders.. lid scratched and visor snapped, without a lid id probably be dead.. no shit!
no, im not stuck up im smart.. if you don't want to be then face plant into the floor without a lid! as*hole!
Honestly this might seem sad but, i dont really care if they 2 douchebags fall , hit theyre heads and end up like these guys in the pic...theyre fault.
In my opinion full face helmets look so bad ass, i wear one every chance i get!!!Piss pots look kool for skaters, better be safe than sorry

agreed i love fullfaces mainly cuzz i hate getting surgurees in my mouth (long story) i wear one all the time now
i was hit by a bus and i lost my leg but if i didnt wear a helmet i would have died
i would rather loose a leg than die and if anybody dissagrees with that than they might die one day than think back and be like wow i should have worn a helmet
jimmymtbking this is mainly for you and you should wear a helmet because one day you will be biking and you will die from that

i were a helmet skateboarding and im glade i do, because if it wasn't for the helmet i would have had a cracked skull and be in a mental asylum. I fell and hit my head cracked my helmet in 2 and lucky for me i had a mild concussion. So as for the dumb f*cks(sd52bad and jimmymtbking) who think helmets are gay well i will not sympathies for you when you are being spoon fed.
I wear my fullface even on the streets and i love the feeling of seeing a set of stair and thinking, ohh a wanna drop them... and im like oh wait im wearing my fullface.So i hit it, theres only been one time ive needed it, and im glad i did, big crack on helmet now

dude, pro's arent pussey's are they?, but they ALWAYS wear there helmets!!!...no matter what!, your a pussey for not wearing a helmet, your too scared to make yourself look slightly silly with one on, but face it...when your doing anything to do with biking you need a helmet!!!, so if your so big and hard, go off the jaw drop with no helmet on and see what happens!.
I dont think it looks silly. When I see people jumping without helmets I just think that they are idiots and arn't proper MTB'ers (or BMXers, but they are even worse for not wearing helmets!)!
So do yourself a favour- wear a helmet!

Matty your totally right! With all the helmets coming out from like Troy Lee Designs, Giro, Fox ect. They all look sweet. And theres a helmets for all price limits and they all look sweet.
he says dont land on ur head .. if ur going down a trails and turn the corner and fly off ur bike n hit a tree with ur face..... a helmet will usually help...
i like this picture

allen5050 way up there is a fuking idiot, helmets are what keep you alive you moron.i no mine has saved me more than once, especially on a motocross bike.
I wore a helmet once, I landed on my head in a concrete park and it smashed to pieces and part of the shell got me in the eye and now i have partial vision in my eye, so I don't wear a helmet anymore. But for those of you that can wear one all the power too you!
ye but helmets are made to take impact so if it breaks u no ur head hasent.(tw3ak, im not sayin that in a bad way as if to say ur a twat or summin)
tw3ak: What do you think woluld have happend if you didn´t wear i helmet? perhaps you wouldn´t even be sitting here writing.
one of my frinds works in a hospital. he tells me a storry abut a biker who crackt his had. he had a cut vrom top to the mouth. skullbone was broken up 5cm wide 26cm long.Now he has a permanent damage`s .....u know. doc`make him fit how best he can. So, helmets rocks!!!i love my head!!!
good for me, I bought a helmet couple days ago coz I had a crash.. now I will takes helmet on dirts ^^

That's a great poster ,I really think that one's like that should be more visible generally in the media. Not only in the bike media, there are thousands people cycling to work everyday - without a helmet. Someone should also think about poster like that for kids, cuz I am affraid that they're the main target group, and that poster I am afraid is just funny for many of them - Wooooo what a scar, woooo like at the metal stuff! ANYWAY GOOD TO SEE THAT KINDS OF POSTERS!

to tw3ak...imagine if you had no helemet on probably your head would have craked and you would be no more so still a good thing you had it on....
helmets are a life saver, i hit a table top and fliped over the bars the bike somehow got air and landed on the back of my head. If i wasnt wearing my full face i wouldnt be typing this message.

I dont think it looks stupid.
And I face planted into a kicker a couple of weeks ago, with a full face on, got up and gave it another go!! I wouldn't have been jumping for quite a while if I didn't have my helmet on.

if you don't want to wear a helmet its your own choice, and I am not going to insult you by calling you "stupid", its your right to choose what you wear on your head
however, spare a thought for all the people it affects when you sustain a serious head injury which causes long term disability, or even your premature death
from the guys who give you first aid at the trails / skatepark, to the paramedics, doctors, nurses, neurosurgeons, rehab staff, your family and friends, girlfriend / wife..all those who have to feed up and care for you, or put you in the ground at your funeral..then legal action taken against the trails, the bike park, the skatepark...we lose another facility whilst the laywers get rich
it happens too often, I have lost a friend who was world class, pro skater (X-Games), he was skating to the local shops and clipped his head on a lamp post and died that night in hospital RIP Richard Taylor

seriously.....this is a really really good poster this needs to be on the pinkbike homepage or somethnig atleast so we can all acknowledge that atleast we all no what can happen if we dont take precautions?
i agree one day i decided to try some riding without a helmet and almost the first jump i crashed and had a concussion and gave me rather serious back problems, now i never ride without one.

I think everyone that clicks on this picture and reads down far enough to see this comment should make it there POD, This message could prevent so many major casualties!
it sure does save lives my hospital stay : 2 weeks, recovery time: 6 months felling the effects : rest of my life wear one for god sake
i hate it when people just say, oh no i wont wear mine in the skatepark i wont fall off, well i f*cking could of died when i didnt wear a helmet in a skatepark, plus i think if you get a half tin, they look good to wear. 
i think its really sad that people are disagreeing with this.its stupid i would rather wear a helmet lying on a trail nd get back up nd be allright than be lying in a hospital bed srtuggling to stay alive just because i thought i looked stupid wearing a helmet wen actually u dont.
