I tend to laugh and say, "Hi Gene (or Jean if a female)", referring to Gene or Jean Poole because they probably aren't going to be in it for long. -p (life saved by a helmet) Though I've crashed many times and have broken a few helmets in my day, I would never be so bold as to actually say a helmet saved my life. Sure, it saved me from a few dings and maybe some more severe concussions, but doubtful that it actually was a life/death situation. If I crashed hard enough to die, even with a helmet on I'd probably still die. JD |

The place that Darwinism comes in is where people think that bicycle helmets can save their lives. They do nothing but prevent cuts, contusions, and bruises. It's comical how many people ignore the physics and miraculously think a helmet is going to save their lives. Greg |

It's comical how many people ignore the physics and miraculously think a helmet is going to save their lives. Greg I wouldn't count on it saving my life, but it's possible. I once crashed on a steep technical descent on to my helmet on a pyramid-shaped pointy rock. It stuck into the helmet almost all the way to my head (over an inch probably). Now I know my head is probably harder to penetrate than my helmet, but if that rock had even gone half the distance into my un-helmeted skull, it would not have been a good thing. Sure I might not have died, but I like the think the helmet helped me avoid a very nasty injury. Matt (I like to protect my brain - it's my second favorite organ!) |
