Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

dont even understand why people even have to debate wearing a helmet. If i had been wearing my helmet 2 months a go i probably wouldnt be suffering from short term memory loss...and maybe half the scars on my face wouldnt be here now and i wouldnt of had the lenses from my glasses implanted in my cheeks. So what do ya think? Should i have been wearing my helmet or do you think i should have been like some of those hispter twats and looked in the mirror to see if i looked cool without my helmet before i went out that day. i wouldnt have met that driver who hit me then, hmm

And if I had been wearing a helmet when I had my crash it would have made no difference. I landed on my chin, not any other part of my head, and there's the small possibility that had I been wearing a helmet, one of the bits that are generally sticking off of them would have caught on the ground and wrenched my head backwards.

That said, I've just purchased a Bern helmet with vents (cos I wanna stay cool, "innit") b/c there won't be any wrench possibility.
