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

keywords here have been made bold. And that for me is the thing that causes all the discussion. If you were to wear a full face motorcycle helmet I don't think anyone would be arguing and it would have definitely saved your injuries, glasses going into face etc,.

Bicycle helmets clearly have to be made lighter, less hot etc, when compared to a 'proper' helmet but does that render them useless?
