[QUOTE="Goldwinger1984, post: 51874, member: 1298"] What those stats do not tell you is which of those fatalities died due to being run over by an 18 wheeler, or they were impaled on the tailpipe of a large van, their bodies were ripped in half completely or their legs were both cut off and they bled to death, yep they were not wearing helmets, but, the helmets would not have made any difference anyway because the mortal wounds on all the other parts of their bodies took their lives anyway yet their heads may have been in good shape with or without a helmet. Guys the argument I have is not against helmets, the argument I am trying make is that a helmet only provides additional protection if you you know how to drive your bike because the helmet might keep your head looking pretty if you smack into a brick wall at 40 mph, but, the rest of your body is going to be totally dead. My argument is that if you instead put the emphasis on better driving skills in avoiding accidents you will then have a far better safety device to protect you than a thing called a helmet. I think I've overstayed my welcome here so I'm out of here for now. Ride safe. [/QUOTE]
