A good friend almost lost here daughter due to taking a 4 wheeler out in the yard for two seconds.

 

not trying to pick a fight or anything, but, helmets , depending on terrain can do more damage than not wearing one.

 

I wear mine 99% of the time,I don't feel safe without it.

 

I always wear mine

 

Please give an example. For the life of me, I can't think of one instance in a crash where the rider would receive a lesser injury by NOT wearing a helmet.

 

Dress for the crash not the ride! Anyone who thinks different or if it's dumb is just that!!!!

 

Not sure what terrain you're referring to here, but all earth is fairly hard on the human head...except for sand. Even then, it can deliver a nasty and deadly blow depending on how you hit it.

I can remember many instances I've personally experienced or directly witnessed in which helmets have saved lives or prevented serious injury. But not once in my 40+ years of riding have I heard of a crash where the helmet caused the only injury and the rider would have been injury free had they not wore the helmet.

Just my $0.02...

 

at the ball pit in chucky cheese perhaps even then I and every one on my family wares a helmet on bicycles, skates, bikes or quads


by the way I hope the little one gets better

 

I know I should, But I have never worn a helmet while riding. I know its like seat belts and an accident can happen on your own street at any time, but they are just too uncomfortable for me and I wouldn't enjoy riding as much with one on all the time. Granted, I know that it is easy to roll or flip an ATV, but we mostly ride in soft sand creeks at slower speeds, not rock climbing these things. That being said, I DO realize that I could be hurt pretty badly without a helmet.


Hope she gets better.

 

That statement makes it sound like you already had a bad wreck without a helmet...
