chasthetrialsrider Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Did you know that your head is one of the main parts of your body that has the least amount of skin on it so using this information it is worth wearing your helmets after all would you rather die or be called a goofball by a chav for wearing a helmet think wear your helmet or you may not be able to think.I wrote this as today I watched someone being taken of in a hospital with severe blood loss from his head all because he thought that he would look stupid if he wore a helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 It's not just becuase it's got very thin skin, it's becuase it's your brain.Bones and tissue heal, but one smack to the head, and you dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alun Goch Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I deffinately agree with wearing helmets, though I don't wear one myself. I just can't get used to wearing one, never think to put it on before I go out. I'm sure I'll regret it one day.Different story for my motorbike, it's a habit now, as I'm sure it is for you and you'r bikes. Made me appreciate wearing one when I came off it a week or so ago.Summer's coming up too, and I'm getting dreadlocks, so I'll be even less likely to wear one. I'll probably learn the hard way, I know I'm a dumbass...Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm starting to wear my helmet more now. At first I didn't, but luckily had no injuries to my head. Then I started wearing my piss-pot. But it got wayy to hot. So I bought a Giro Havoc. Very light and ventilated. I don't care what others think about it, As long as it saves me!

B.E.A.U Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 My teacher at school told me that part of the back of your head is the main bit and you only have to hit it at less than 3 mph and your dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 My teacher at school told me that part of the back of your head is the main bit and you only have to hit it at less than 3 mph and your dead. Ive also watched someone drunkedly run into the kitchen, swing on the pull up bar we had going across the top of the door frame in an attempt to touch his feet on the ceiling, and the bar coming out. Resulted in him smacking the back of his head, head first into a tiled floor - but he didnt die. Was incredibly funny though.Needless to say though, thats no excuse not to wear a helmet!

planet x alan Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) My teacher at school told me that part of the back of your head is the main bit and you only have to hit it at less than 3 mph and your dead. yeah as tom pointed out it isnt true, i smacked the back of mine off the floor when skating and i was going pretty quick too got up and fell back down again lost sight for a few seconds, then was ok. woke up the next day with a bad head ache. i badly need a new lid. got a planet x one and i really dont like it.

CBProductions Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 i took a smack to the head last night, but i aint dead.but yeah helmets r gooooodyeah but that was by wing's bodily member and not a concrete floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 yeah as tom pointed out it isnt trueIts not bollocks mate, its luck. The head is why too unpredicable to say what would/wouldn't kill you, were all different. 3mph is a lot to take to the head, although it doesnt sound it. Just because you survived it, doesn't mean to say that its not true.But...if your up for an experiment I'll quite happily smack you on the back of the head several times with a brick or something.

Will Arnold Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 yeah but that was by wing's bodily member and not a concrete floor it wasn't, me and my mate were throwing each other around and i ran backwards away from him before TWATTING my head on a concrete pillar ouch!! good thing i was drunk, numbed the pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark145 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 It's not just becuase it's got very thin skin, it's becuase it's your brain.Bones and tissue heal, but one smack to the head, and you dead.
