Bike accidents happen, Helmets prevent many of the more serious head injuries.
Head injuries can put you in nursing home drooling for the rest of your life.
What are the chances? probably pretty slim. But to me it is beyond belief, people ride without them, and most importantly let their kids ride without them.
They are cheap, comfortable and can save a life and or prevent ending up an invalid.
People say well back in the day we never used them. Well back in the day we threw the kids in the back seat, no seat belts etc. And guess what a lot of folks and kids died. And a lot of kids got splashed in bike accidents as well
That back in the day argument does not hold water. Times have changed, we are a little bit smarter now.
Might as well argue the sun won't come up tomorrow, as to bike helmets don't prevent injuries. Do a simple google search,if you don't believe
Law, no Law who cares, just not real bright to ride without one. In my opinion
It's all well and good until you didn't realize there was a rule, forget to bring or lose your helmet.
That's why it's one thing to believe in and promote helmets, it's another to
require them with a stupid rule.
