 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.

 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.

 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
  • 4 1
 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.

 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

 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.

 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!
