And that's why you need to buckle your helmet. They're pointless without it

Having it unbuckled can cause serious injury. Don't ride with helmet unbuckled. Yeah he got away with it this time.....this time.

Taane (Jan 4, 2012 at 12:26)

almostwise Mod (Jan 4, 2012 at 14:56)

No, they're worse than pointless, they're dangerous.

Taane (Jan 4, 2012 at 19:10)

why does every1 say that? ive seen heaps of no helmet pods and this would encourage people to wear them so it would be even better.
