hey spike.... my best friend at the start of the summer (who where's his helmet all the time) took his off for like 1 minute... and we where going through a car park... a car park... he got hit in front of me (not even hard) and died on his 18th b-day because of brain damage... this kid wasent stupid either he was set for Harvard university... its a shame to see that even after seeing those images that you cant see why helmets are so valuable...

“Every year OVER 11,000 PEOPLE DIE on our roads and 30,000 are seriously INJURED. That means THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES left PICKING UP THE PIECES. Families tortured by the LOSS OF A LOVED ONE. Crippled by REDUCED INCOME of 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.â€

Why spam the POD with a link to this? Yes, "wear a helmet" is good advice, but do you realize how f*cking annoying it is when people keep f*cking preaching it as if they're doing god's work and saving a bunch of lives? People do dangerous stuff all the time. They drive without seatbelts, take lots of drugs, start fights in the street. And anyway that poster relates to road accidents, not many pinkbike users are on the road for extended periods of time, a lot never. The number of incidents stated probably applies more to idiots who can barely pedal a bike trying to get to work or to the shop or fools on motorbikes.
