All of my worst crashes have been without a helmet, while goofing off around the block. And sometimes I still don't learn while I stroll around the block...

That sucks :(

i've been riding bmx for the last two months helmetless, gonna stop that tmrw, i feel silly that it takes an article like this to make me realize how stupid i've been.

Wow, thats an eye opener. I never where my helmet when riding around town. Like rudi, I will prolly start to because of this occurance

[gonefirefightin]

It only takes one occurance to learn the lesson, hopefully the occurance isnt fatal.

[mrpercussive]

darn.... really sorry to hear that... i must admit i havent been wearing my helmet for commuting much these days... will start tomorrow...

I have seen many people at carlmont and shells hitting jumps without helmets including Meth, I takes just one of them getting hurt real bad out there for the place to be risked shutting down

i used to ride urban and do manuals aroud with no helmet. then i fell, and realized that if i had worn a helmet, it woulda helped a lot. good article...
