A simple question: Do you wear a helmet?

[Drago]

Every day. Even in bed, and especially when on the loo.

I've done a poll of people I know (well, I asked myself) and this scientific research has shown that us helmet wearers get 600% more sex.

The rock that did this damage would have left me at the very least needing stitches rather than just a new cycle helmet.

Ah but perhaps they felt safer lobbing the rock at you because you were wearing a helmet and they wouldn't have without in case they killed/seriously injured you.

Yes as its proven to save my life.

If i didnt wear it the wife would ******* kill me...

Curious she is prepared to kill you for certain if you don't protect yourself against a very miniscule risk of being killed.

The point of the ironic humour...

In any case, you havent met my wife

Its a web forum. Does there have to be a point other than humour for humour's sake?

In any case, you havent met my wife

And I don't think I want to.

I only wear one during sex. You gotta take precautions.

But is it purple? (and this thread is fine without pics)

 

[Miquel In De Rain]

Yes thanks,does that make me a bad guy?

 

[Miquel In De Rain]

For ludicrous thread resurrection? Possibly.

My bad,didn't check the date.

So you'll wear one if some student who organises a sportive asks you to, but not if laws oblige you to?

I'm sure your radical, law-breaking ways will change pretty sharpish once you're hit with the first £60 fine!

How did this thread resurface?

The answers are yes, provided he asks and doesn't insist, and that the probability of any enforcement is diminishingly small, but I'm one of a number who together will push the Australian defence here if compulsion arrives and the opportunity arises

 

[Silver Fox]

Always.

 

[Typhon]

Always.

Being in H&S i used to wear mine some of the time, on the basis it was my choice etc !
having had a clipless moment following installation of spd's last week, i fell hard on my knee and smacked helmet hard on car hard enough to graze forehead inside the helmet.
Always make kids wear them, and as the lad only got round 100 deg of a 180 degree corner the other day, it is just as well !
Hence now voting "always"

always - helmets have saved my life in other circumstances - didn,t stop me being concussed but without it I wouldn,t have survived- and I,ve been involved in dealing with accidents involving severe head injuries
we are fragile creatures and I,m not lucky enough to think it won,t happen to me.
