I hate to nag but we all know that helmets are not enough. Some of you probably know that helmets only protect head on impacts from a range of 10 to 20 mph. That may not sound like a lot, but it is a substantial speed. I like to race and jump and used to climb a lot of hills till i found out the hard way. I flipped my warrior down a hill that hooked at the top. It rolled five times with me on it. The last time i got thrown off. My buddies watched as i was thrown 8 feet in the air to land on my back with a thump. I walked away with a mild concusion and a sore back and some minor nerve damage in my neck. ( i can tap the back of my neck and my toes twich) This all happened because i got too confident because i had a helmet. People like bell are using the wrong slogan when publising there helmets as courage for your head. They are not. There is a fine line between courage and stupidity. Only you know where it stops. Im not critizing bell by any means, but the riders who think they are invincible because they have a helmet. So be smart and wear one. It offers protection to your melon and will in most cases keep you alive. Thanks to all who read this.
