I do not know the individual involved in this, but, as an EMT, I feel compelled to post things like this. Wear a damn helmet, guys. I know you may think you look awesome and all the ladies will love how reckless you are, but you’re honestly just demonstrating just how little you value your own life. I know this horse has been absolutely beaten to death over the years, and I’m sure that my words won’t change some of your minds, but just look at the damage sustained by that helmet. Now imagine if your face was put through the same situation. While the helmet merely had part of it ground away by the sheer friction involved, your skull would be pudding. End of story.
TLDR Version: Wear a freaking helmet.
As someone who was hit by a car, went flying off his bicycle, and HIT HIS HEAD ON THE GROUND WHILE WEARING A HELMET? Wear a helmet. It will save your life. I don’t care if doesn’t look cool or doesn’t feel comfortable. Better to be “uncool” and “uncomfortable” then fucking dead.
