I'm sure some of you saw what happened to me, a topic in chit chat a while back, i fractured my eye socket pretty badly, a nice deep cut in my eyebrow, and shit loads of swelling and bruising, was a result of face planting 6ft. I didn't wear a helmet, and have never been riding without one since, for all the none helmet wearers out there, get one! A helmet could of easily saved my face from being f**ked. I still can't feel around there anymore. Aswell as that, there is a nerve that if damaged f**ks the muscles in your face, and the whole side of your face sags. I was soooo f**king lucky not to have, i was ever so lucky not to have fractured my skull. I have no simpathy for people that don't wear helmets and land on their head, f**king themselves over. I know a helmet can't prevent some things, but it can prevent a f**k more that it can't. It really does annoy me to see people not wearing helmets now, not exactly expensive 20 quid for a decent pisspot. 20 quid that can save your life...
