Citi Wheel Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Not an EUC video but this crash make me cringe. Always wear a helmet if you plan on going faster than a speed you can run off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe73 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 @logos122 Thanks for the video, its good to have a reminder now and then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Spalding Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I, too, appreciate this reminder. How many people i see in videos on this form and elsewhere riding without protection for the most important part of their body. As a physician I am seeing the results of accidents and poor preparation preceding them. I am seeing people here with videos of their children riding without any protection on their head, either. That makes me sad and, quite frankly, a bit angry. Please protect your heads because I want everyone around here to be present on this wonderful forum and in life fourth long as possible Thanks, again, for this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeJ Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for the reminder, I did get the wee man a helmet when we got his EUC...... but it was too big so I had to take it back to the shop where they also didn't have one to fit, so we had planned to shop around and actually not done it yet! Deffo will take him helmet shopping when he is back his holidays, as was just one of those things we haven't got round to yet! I have been guilty of allowing him to ride without one. Thankfully we have been very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisycarlos Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I used to not wear a helmet, I hated having to put that thing on and mess up my hair, etc. Then I happen to bump into a cousin I hadn't seen in a while. He works at the ER, and estimated that 90% of bikers coming in that didn't wear a helmet die or end up with serious consequences. Now I never leave without one, even if I'm riding a couple of blocks away. I'm pretty careful, but I have no control over other bikers, cars, etc. And every once in a while, I do something that immediately after I think "That wasn't very smart".

Questor Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for the discussion guys. As a result of reading this, I just purchased a "skate" style helmet which I will start wearing when I wheel. Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
