| *Vultures Knob>>>Bike Helmet |
Zorak asks, "Do you think bicycle helmets are the dorkiest and most useless item..ever?"? |
"What is your opinion? Do they even do any good? MAYBE for "professional" bike racers, etc., but for adults in general, I just want to knock them off peoples' heads. I can understand maybe for kids (but even then I find them ridiculous), but, man the helmets, the outfits, etc. "Back in the day" we rode our bikes, and if we fell, we scraped our hands, elbows, knees, etc., and rarely did we hit our heads. We had enough sense to throw our limbs out if we fell in order to absorb the impact. I know I sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but really, do people even need them?" The helmets are ugly, but they are there for protection. It should be your own choice weather or not to wear one, and I think they really need to come up with a better, more serious look to them. Motorcycle helmets don't look dorky to me, and I think they should build them a bit more like that. I've never worn a protective helmet, not only because they're dorky but because I just figure I don't need one. I've had bike accidents involving smashing my head into the pavement but it doesn't SEEM to have left any lasting damage. =P I use to think that--untill I ran into a tree. no, they do no good whatsoever. im capable enough of knowing how to stop myself from serious injury using my hands and feet....god... wow tht person is REALLY stupid maybe their realize tht they r important AFTER they crack their skull on the pavement and get concussed I think that they make people look "special" and I'd NEVER wear one. If they want to be "safe" then that's their choice. zorak is 100% correct. The helmets are ugly, but they do some good, in preventing head injuries. |
