I mean like I've always worn a helmet, but now that you see pro riders wear them, it really makes you look more professional, what's cool is how riders get their own sig helmets, and it seems that a lot of people buy them!

All this talk about helmets really got me wondering. How many people would die with no seat belts, or eaven air bags. ive read most of the comments and see one particular person sunning his mouth about how helmets are gay. A helmet is just like a seat belt, a percausion to keep you safe. i would much rather look weird with a helmet than take the chance of brain damage. in fact it has happened. head first into a tree but because of my helmet i got up and rode to the bike shop ad bought a new one. Helmets save lives and alow you to laugh at the people doing stupid things around you instead of lying in a bed waiting for somone to feed you.

I never feel comfortable on the bike without a helmet, but I'd never tell any fashion victim who wasn't wearing one to put one on. Because you're right- it's your choice. I usually hope they crash and land on their head. And then wish AIDS and Cancer upon them. And offer them no help when they are rolling around in a pool of their own piss. While choking on blood and vomit.
Because it's MY choice to stand back and laugh. And tell you 'no' when you tell me to f*ck off. So don't tell me otherwise. We don't need dickheads like you to be saved from head injuries anyway, you've clearly already got one. We're much better off without you. So please, idun3, never wear a helmet. And more importantly for the good of civilisation, never have kids..

i always have mine on, even when mucking around on the driveway, i woulld have killed myself a few times if i didnt wear one, so all you who think helmets suck, i think being spoon fed and having 4 rods sticking out of your shoulders to support your head and being spoon fed sucks more

Now in Lithuania there is a law, that you must wear a helmet if you are younger than 18 years. If you are 18 and more - helmet is only a recommendation.
I have a full face helmet and I wear it when I'm riding on a trail or doing some crazy stuff. Some time ago I used it riding in the city centre. I heard "lol", "dude you suck", "hahahaha" so many times... And I did stop wearing it. I didin't hit my head anywhere from that time. People in my country don't understand why helmets are important and they don't know anything about extreme biking. They think that bike is a transportation tool to go from point A to B and not getting ijured. They think that bike is safer than a car, cuz you are riding a sidewalk. I only saw some street style riders and some xc riders wearing helmets. I thnk that every one SHOULD wear a helmet for their safety. This picture and comments show why... I'd better be called "idiot", than get a brain damage and could not wipe my @$$. From now on 2008-07-06 I promise that I will wear a helmet.

allso my mate once hit a tree so hard the tree snaped, it wasnt very thick but a good 3/5 inches, lol later that nite we sessend a wooden park, at night, int he rain...he didnt were a lid....he cracked his skul, chiped a tooth broken nose and fractured eye soket froma 7ft face plant onto concret... not funny...but yeah any way

I think I know quite a few (loosely used) riders that should be wearing helmets while walking. Then they should have to notify the hospital and staff if they are going to go for a ride. Because it is inevitable that (THEY) are going to get hurt. ugh argh OMFRIGGIN GOD! The guys just need to find a hobby such as RC racing and leave the riding to people that aren't so apt to get hurt while doing this dangerous actSmile

you f*ckers!
you don't wear a helmet because it is for fools? It doesn't look cool! Chicks don't like it! IF you really like to ride your bike, you should care about people thinking you look cool or not!
You know what? I look stupid in my helmet!
You know what? It's ugly!
You know what? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT IT, AS LONG AS I'M SAFE WITH IT!

Ok, lets be honest here.
If you dont want to wear a helmet, fair enough, but
you can garuntee i will piss my pants when I hear you have chosen NOT
to have worn a helmet. and you are now a vegetable in a hospital bed, being fed through a straw
If you want to moan about ugly helmets dont do it here.
If you are, I really think you have mis-understood the meaning of this picture.

definitly deserves POD because so many people die every year because of not wearing helmets and i think it's stupid that all they had to do is put something on their head to save their lives and they didn't. if this was POD it would make the riding community on pinkibke more aware of the wonder of helmets and how they can really help you.

if i didnt wear my helmet i would have so many cuts on the top of my head and probably 2 concussions because once when i aired out my front wheel clipped the decking and went head first into concrete i couldnt see for like 15seconds but i thought what of what happened if i didnt wear it
