Just egg zaklee HOW in the everlovin HE double Hockey Stix do you expect to drink ANYthing while wearing that full coverage helmet youll be wearing??? Huhh??
You Have seen the graph shoing the %age of head injuries & where on the head the strikes occur? The %age are broken down by section of the head. The left & igh side of the chin take large %age of the impacts. Ive totaled 3 bikes, the first 2, no helmet, ,crash, helmet wouldve paralyzed or killed me, second, woulna mattered,, I didnt hit my head, at all, 3rd, I slammed face first into the back side of the drivers side cab corner on a mall pikkupp,, full coverage helmet meant I still had a face & only neede 2 stitches in my lip. The helmet strap dug into my throat so hard I had trouble swallowing for almost 3 weeks,,
So,, when it comes to helmets, theres SOME room for debate,, but, having seen it from the events Ive survived, I wont ride without one & its Gonna be chin protecting. IMO, odd are that in a crash, the head is taking a hit, & odds are, Ill be Much Better off wearing a helmet,, so I wear a flip front approximately $150.00 hat..
