Having a helmet on made me lose my sight of color correctly, and also fractured my jaw.

Without a helmet I would have been fine. But regardless i still wear a helmet.

where's that picture of beating a dead horse.

i can only hope that if I do wreck without a helmet, that I at least die, so that some of you may use me as a statistic.

I don't ride anywhere but my own land, and I don't post any retarded videos of jumping or anything of the such. I don't jump.

Ive been made fun of in the past for wearing a helmet to even the slowest and smallest ride around, Yes sometimes I dotn wear a helmet but I controle my stupidity as well when I dont. Years ago I was involved in a street bike accident late at night far out in the country, if it wasnt for my helmet I would have been dead for sure, sometimes helmets can cause injuries, but I would rather be injured then dead any day. Im sure now the parents will sue all the atv manufactures and god himself becouse they were to stupid to make sure that there kids were wearing helmets.

Thats terrible, and she was the passenger.

If you don't want to wear a helmet for yourself, thats fine.

But think about the dozens of friends and family you will have affected forever...........

Last week I saw a grown man and three kids riding around on a small ATV. Nobody had helmets and they were doing tight corners and going onto two wheels. Its one thing if you yourself don't have a helmet, its another if you have kids on with you and you're riding stupid.

I will say that if I were to ride a dirtbike or motorcycle, I wouldn't do so without a helmet.

Was told today that she hit her head on the road. They estimate the speed at 50mph at the crash. They say that a helmet would have made a difference, but she would have still been seriously injured. No matter what it's too late now.
More news: The driver could be charged with vehicular manslaughter and that carries a 8 year term in the Big house here in Ohio.
